Hi,
What would be the best solution to connect the mike and the flash to the camera in the same time taking in account that I am shooting always with the Varavon loupe so I can't use an accessory bracket which goes under the camera. I need something that can be mounted on the camera's hot shoe, an extension bracket which has one shoe for the mike and one hot shoe for the flash.
Any ideea is welcome.
Thank you,
Eugen

Hi Eugen - I use a 20cm hot shoe extension, similar to this 23.95€ Walimex 15cm extension.

Here are a couple of pictures of my setup:

Thank you very much Bill.
The problem is that beside the microphone I need to put the Flash which has to be connected with the camera through the hot shoe or a syncro cable. The dedicated flash Panasonic DMW-FL360LE doesn't have a syncro cable plug so the only solution is the hotshoe.
I'll keep searching :)
Have a nice weekend,
Eugen
