FX1 Shoe Adapter - Replacing OEM Adapter
Has anyone replaced their oem adapter. It's a piece of junk, this for sure!
I am making a few adapters. The first will allow me to use my sony 10/20 light(sideways), the other will allow me to use my Frezzi Mini-Fill and shotgun mic at the same time and finally a dual shoe mount. I will most pictures this week when I am finished. Jon |

If you make a dual shoe mount I would pay for one, name your price. It would be handy to mount a mic and LCD at one time. Keep me posted

I will post pictures of my new adapter on Monday. I just tested it this weekend at a wedding and it's great. If you would like for me to make one, I will but it's really easy and cheap to make yourself. The only tools required are a drill and a vice. I purchased everything you need from Home Depot and B&H.
It's a multil purpose adapter. During the ceremony I have my wireless and shotgun mic and during the reception I use my wireless mic and frezzi. I also made it so I could use my 10/20 watt sony light. More to come on Monday. Believe it or not, I don't own a digital still camera. LOL Jon |

http://www.omiatek.com/dvinfo/pic2.JPG I will post pictures of the rest tomorrow. The shoe adapters are $7 at b&h and the metal was from home depot for $5(could make a bunch of adapters) When I am not using the sony light I attach another shoe adapter where it connects to the camera and that gives me two shoe adapters. I will post more pictures. The finished adapter will be painted black to match the camera. It's still in development :) Jon |

How does it sound? Wouldn't the shotgun mic up a lot of hum from the light?

Hi Jon,
It's been a while since anyone has probably read this thread, however recently my shoe for my FX1 lost it's battle with the feet of a 9 year old who though it would be fun to see if it would survive a jumping match! Anyway, i digress... The links in your post below are gone - probably for good reason (it's been over 2 years) Do you have those pics? or the link to the component you bought from B&H? I need to build / buy one soon - and i am not going to buy one from sony for $77!! thanks!! |
