Customer Reviews

Light weight, stiff and does what I needed it to do! I bought this Dual Mount Bracket to do just exactly what is shown in the picture. It works just fine, I was a bit surprised by how small it actually is but it works perfectly for my needs of holding a microphone and Video Light. I am sure there are bigger stronger and stiffer dual mounts on the market but for my needs this one is perfectly suited for the job. 5A must have for any amateur or semi-pro DSLR user GENIUS product that I purchased for my Nikon D5200. GREAT price and GREAT value. I purchased it to use literally as it's pictured - with an external Nikon ME-1 mic and a Neewer 160 LED light panel. Works perfect.A must have for those looking to do video or expand what they can do with their DSLR. 5Great, fits the need well. I needed to mount a Zoom H4n and a light. It worked well. Make sure to order 2 Shoe-To-Tripod Screw Adapters so you can use the 2 brackets; it does not come with any. 5The craftsmanship sucks, but luckily it's an easy fix... I returned the first one due to what I considered to be a defect, but the second one had the EXACT same issue, so I just decided to fix it myself. The issue is that the lips that hold the hot shoe in place (the ones that rest ON TOP of the plate when you insert your mic/light) were not even. They weren't even close to being even. One stuck up at a 45 degree angle while the other was flat (how it should be) at 90 degrees. That was the case on BOTH mounts, BOTH times I ordered one! Clearly it's just a flaw in craftsmanship. When I tightened the hot shoe as much as possible I could still slide the mic/light out with no effort. Would have fallen out by itself if I tilted it too much. Luckily all I needed was a set of pliers and was able to bend the skewed lip down to 90 degrees, making it work properly. The second issue is that the arm for the light (the shorter one) is not level at the top. Again, it wasn't pressed properly, leaving my light sitting at an awkward angle. Had to lock it down on a tool bench and use brute force for that fix. After some effort it is now in fine working order. Just don't buy this expecting to use it out of the box. Oh and you may need a small Phillips screwdriver... on the first one I ordered the tiny screws holding the actual bracket onto the arm were loose, making it further useless to attach anything to it. Luckily the second one didn't have that issue.With all that said, the bracket itself is quite nice, once it's working. If it didn't have those issues I would have absolutely rated it 5 stars. And maybe I just really am that unlucky.It is a little heavy, but it's all metal, so that's to be expected. I use the Rode VideoMic Pro and the NEEWER CN-160 LED video light. The spacing of the arms is great so that they are not too close together and I don't get any shadow of the mic on my subject.IMPORTANT: If you have the VideoMic Pro, be aware that the cable to plug into the DSLR is JUST long enough. I really mean JUST. An extra centimeter and it wouldn't reach. It's so close that when I store it I unplug the mic, because it just feels like there is a lot of tension on the port where the cord meets the mic, and I'm afraid that over time it may start to affect the wiring. Just a hint to keep in mind.All in all I would recommend this over some of the other plastic cheapies out there, but there may very well be a better option for the same pricepoint that I was not aware of. 3Total crap. Sent it back Doesn't fit onto my Canon Rebel T5i at all. I screw it down all the way and there's not enough pressure to keep the thing from just falling off the camera. Would not ever trust this to hold my lights or mics. The clamp on this needs to be able to tighten all the way onto the camera's hot shoe for this to work that's the first basic thing this needs to be able to do to work and it can't even do that. Total crap. Sent it back. 1Middle one Wouldn't tighten - Side One Instantly BROKE off & now Stuck on my LED light Sorry, I hate to do negative reviews. I would prefer to be able to contact the seller to help me with my issue. If that happens, I would like to update the review if I can get a decent working product. I ordered this recently, and it was not good. The main piece that attaches to the camera (middle part) would not tighten for me - so it would literally fall right off & I almost broke my LED light fixture. I was not able to tighten it beyond a certain point and it became useless unless taped on, which then, it would still fall off. I attached a LED light to the side piece (thought it was also taped onto my camera and looking horrible) and guess what? The side piece did tighten to the LED light box, but the piece that you attach the light to, literally broke off onto my light upon first use! This means, one side is now broken, with no slot to insert light or microphone into and it's stuck onto my LED light fixture (which was $50+ dollars, now I can't attach it to anything) I'm assuming the other one might break right off too. It doesn't work at all because the main middle piece doesn't tighten enough. If they want to send me a new one, I would be happy to try it and pray it will be better quality. I could then update my review. This would not be worth sending back, since it is garbage and not working. 1Breaks Easily. This bracket looks great, and mounts your peripherals wonderfully.. it seems like a great product until you actually use it.We used this bracket twice before it broke. There is a plastic screw which affixes the bracket to its own base-plate, which serves as a hot-shoe mount, or 3/8" thread mount. The plastic screw simply snapped, and the mounting plate for the bracket fell off.With a LED lamp and microphone mounted, we used this twice to film 5min of video on a tripod.After two setups and one breakdown, this product failed. 2Ours was defective right out of the box, but even if it wasn't... The item we received was defective, hence the two star rating. The problem was with the center mount, which fastens the bracket to your camera's cold shoe. The mount screw arrived in a stripped condition, so the bracket could not be tightened down enough to support the equipment. The item was in a sealed plastic bag, so it's a quality control issue at the factory. In fact, on opening we could see paint scratches on the screw head, thus indicating that they tried to fix it, unsuccessfully, at the factory and let it go out anyway.. Not good. We've had similar quality issues with other Cowboy Studios products as well.From a usability standpoint, another manufacturer might offer a better product. If so, it's a fairly useful product, provided you don't put too much weight on it. The two level design makes it lopsided and causes balance issues. We bought it to support an LED light and a shotgun mike, just as in the product illustration, and even if the one we got wasn't defective, it would still have failed because of the balance problems it creates. Overall, we can't recommend it.Amazon's handling of our issue was excellent. No problem at all. 2Promising design but poorly made This bracket has promising design but is poorly made. Its mounts are so poorly fabricated that they don't provide secure attachments. I had to make my own modifications to every aspect of the bracket's functionality in order to achieve barely passable function. If you're looking for something that will work out of the box, this product is not it. 2Great Mount This has proven to be a very useful bracket for mounting an external microphone together with a video light. After searching for other dual mount brackets, this one proved to be the most favorable of its kind. Under the heavy load of my microphone and LED lights, I am able to face my camera parallel to the floor without the worry of the mount twisting or wobbling. A very solid product that I would recommend to all. 5
