How to attach both light & Receiver
 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can attach both an external camera light and wireless lav set up to the xha1. I wont be on a tripod so I cant attach it there.

I often use two wireless receivers. One attached to the top shoe slot and one clipped to the outside of the hand grip. It works well there for handheld shooting

I saw something at B&H nearly a year ago that was basically a bar with two shoe mounts on top that attached to the camera shoe mount. That should solve your problem if the mounting the receiver to hand strap doesn't work. I like the concept because it moves the light a little off center and makes some shadows.

I once had a thought about using the shotgun mount to hold a piece of PVC and mounting a shoe receptacle to it. I never ended up doing it, but it should work.

Thanks guys. Tripp you have also addressed several of my posts in the past. Just wanted to say thanks. The advise i always helpful.

I have something similar to this light and sound bracket to this one here...

I bought one of these for my XH-A1 in England and it works a treat see:Hague Triple Shoe Mount

there is also the oft mentioned j-rod .. Home (fellow NJer, but I don't know 'em).

The Rycote multimount is a tidy answer for your needs. Rycote - 037303 HOT SHOE EXTENSION pics here, posts 6 and 8 http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-hvr...ml#post1414542

I use J-Rod. Works very well.

I second the J-rod. Works great on my A1.
