HC1-SHIM - low profile adapter for Sony HC1 and Sony A1
starting at $ 24.99 USD
- Vendor: DM-Accessories
- Type: Bottom Loading Adapter
This adapter allows the use of Sony’s HDR-HC1 (including all regional variations) and HVR-A1 (A1U, A1E, A1J and other variations are also supported) camcorders on many small to medium sized tripods and still allow easy tape removal. This adapter will also work on larger pro-sized tripods with quick release plates, provided the user is willing to eject the quick release plate before handling the tape.
HC1-SHIM is the standard version.
The HC1-SHIM-MOD version has additional threaded holes on the bottom near the front to allow the use of a monopod without having to remove the tripod’s quick release plate. It also allows the use of the VB-50 mic & accessory mount on some tripods, as long as the tripod head is smaller than 1.5” / 4ccm from the mount screw to the front edge.
Both adapters offer zero-side offset mount holes for balancing rigs and rod / rail mount systems for matte boxes, 35mm adapters and the like.
