The New CSM-20 Shoe / Microphone Mount will allow you to accomplish many tasks. Primarily this new product will allow you to connect the XTENDER® articulating arm to your cameras shoe mount. It will also allow you to screw in a 5/8" threaded mic clip so that you can either connect a microphone directly to your camera or, in combination with the CSR-10 Shoe Receiver directly to the XTENDER®. The CSM-20 can also convert the shoe mount on your camera to a 1/4-20" threaded mount.
