I have a GL2 with a Beachtek adapter mounted underneath. I'm using an AT897 shotgun mic and a Sennheiser wireless. I'd like to be able to mount them both to the camera to cut down on wires and awkwardness. I came across the Mamiya shoe adapter - double at B+H, and am wondering if anyone has used it and, if so, what they thought of it. If not, any educated opinion on this setup would be appreciated.

I bought the double shoe adapter and have my wireless receiver and a beyerdynamic EA 86 shotgun mic holder attached to it. It works great and has eliminated numerous feet of cable. Highly recommended.
