Cold Shoe

[ARCHIVIST]

More of a spare part inquiry than a repair issue.
I am making a Mamiya flat top and will need a cold shoe to hold the viewfinder.

Any suggestions on where to get a cold shoe that is easy to attach?
Years ago the German accessory company Kaiser made them and were available in blister packs, but I think they are well gone by now.


Cheers
Peter

+1 for the smallrig cold shoe.

Very nice for a small piece of metal!

If you like the smallrig, ck out this cheese handle extension. The photos show it using a wooden handle on the camera w/ a pom pom attached. OK, so it's probably a mic cover, but still, I just love it! Thinking of hanging a small one on my Retina. I've always, always, wanted a tasteful pom pom on my cameras 🙂

Fantastic!

Thank you very much to all of you - my problem solved.
The smallrig shoe looks ideal. I love the fact that you can lock the accessory in place.

Have just ordered, direct, two of the smallrig plain cold shoes - cheap as chips and will be ideal for the Mamiya flat top.
Thanks once again to you all.


Cheers
