The Aptaris Coldshoe Mounting Plate is a most convenient and versatile accessory you can, in combination with a handle, use as a simple alternative to the Cage and thus use it preferably for calm ground level shoots. The plate is simply fastened to the hot shoe. A special screwing device thereby ensures secure hold without slipping. With its numerous 1/4 inch threads you not only can flexibly mount the handle, but also attach further accessories, like e.g. an LED-lamp or a microphone. Just like the complete Aptaris system, the Coldshoe Mounting Plate is also developed and manufactured in Germany.
