Is there a product out there that will slip into the hot shoe of my gl2 to just hold a shotgun microphone?

thanks

There sure is, Richard. Lightwave Systems' MiniMount (http://www.lightwavesystems.com/products/minimount/default.htm) is probably the best. To use with the GL2 you would likely also need their Universal Shoe Carriage (http://www.lightwavesystems.com/products/minimount/shoe_carriage.htm).

There are others, but this provides excellent isolation from camera handling sounds.

the lightwave is nice, but was too expensive my my needs.

i went with the Beyerdynamic EA86 Camera Shoe Shock Mount. Only $29.99 and it's been working for me for 6 months without issue.

Does anybody know of a mount that can support both the Azden SGM mic and a Varilux Pro light together on top of a GL2? Is this possible?

Michael,
I don't see any kind of locking ring on the Beyerdynamic. How do you tighten it on to the hotshoe?

No it doesn't have a locking ring but seems to work fine. The Audio Technica AT 8415 does have a locking ring but it is more expensive and bigger and heavier and taller. The AT 8415 can adjust the angle of the mic too.
I haven't really used the Beyer yet other than trying it on the XM2 but I think it'll be great. And I think it will hold my AT mic better then the AT holder too without it sliding forward outta the holder.

I use this configuration and posted some pics of my setup a while back in this group, however my websites are down due to my new ips not allowing servers :-(

Anyway, from BHPhotovideo: Mamiya MADSA645PTL

This will work perfectly for you ...
