Sometimes it's necessary for video camera to use more LED lights for effects enhancement, but normally one camcorder has only one hot shoe. With this Hot Shoe Extension, you can have more lights used with one cam, simply insert the item to the hot shoe position, and then put the LED lights in.Two hotshoe mountsLength: 12cmColor: Black
Glad I could help. Yes, that's a pretty good setup. I have a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with a similar form factor and I chose to use a pistol grip instead of enhancing the grip on the side of the camera.
Like Nigel, I use an LCD viewfinder for an additional point of contact. I also use a shoe extension on top of the camera to mount mics, lights, grips and external recorders, as pictured [here] (https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN9cm-ZZhnZFjPQX3eurAsaETt_f9YwYim-2i-hxq5Pq0u_NGtJrShpJ0sViTDP8Q/photo/AF1QipMMvAIIOMKyDs4MlDEgoiScJhpueHDwwl6dYroO?key=cDdoWWVtbFdlNG5CVVVpNEYxZk9Hd3NrSWdpT2tB) and [here] (https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNkbRpxmKtDS1hcx_veIdVVQv1nsfD82Gyn5kzc1Wo2BZzukVboIUPSI0e-evOJyg/photo/AF1QipNB1Nf3tAZUDqGu1eEeTzZCwnZFea0ObPM96BoI?key=SUE5Um43QkRSOHZHMGZUeEJqN0VZcFdUSU9IOTNR).
My extension is 20cm, but Nigel uses a more compact 10cm extension, which is probably better.
That said, my math shows you can get everything but the microphone for $293.59:
The mic would be another $46.40:
Again, hope this is helpful!
Yeah the reviews are not exactly inspiring me to upgrade yet either. I wouldn't be shocked if the GH5 gets some sort of a patch or Mark II or something, I'm going to wait it out.
You could always get an extension bracket take off the mount and screw one side directly into the H1, and on the other side run a shotgun mic. Believe it or not this can hold its own with the Rode for the price points. I have one I've used as backup before and used the audio professionally. Also if you get a mini tripod you can set that zoom up places and let it roll, or put the windcap on and let your kids play news reporter.
