Hotshoe

a standardized mounting point on a camera body that allows for the attachment of external accessories, such as a flash unit or microphone

Examples

1. It uses the Sony hotshoes so you don't need to power it with anything, the camera itself powers the microphone.

2. Add a rectangle to the top and indent it for the hotshoe mounting point and now it's time to paint the details that are on the camera body itself.

3. So having this hotshoe microphone has been such a lifesaver.

4. The ZV-1 also has Sony's hotshoe standard, which is multi interface, which just means that it'll work with all the accessories that Sony has made, generally audio accessories.
