I have two small holes with a 17mm center space between them.
The conversion would work if your screw hole is 1/4 inch, which is what you are trying to convert to a hotshoe. It is required that the tread has a few millimeters in depth to accommodate the screw. Additionally, I think that wooden cold shoe adapters are better than electronic ones. While it costs more, I found that it worked in places where the small rig is ineffective
There is no answer to that question. As I shoot video, the shoe holds a top handle, reporter lights, microphones, microphone receivers, or a combination of all four. A high level of build quality has been achieved.
I believe it is the standard 1/4" This thread consists of 20 threads.

How to use it is not included in the package. Although I don't know what the smaller screws are used for, I shouldn't have a problem. It is not possible to screw them into the cold shoe or the camera cage as there are no threads. In order to install a flash or mic into the cold shoe, you need to depress the pins on the bottom of the flash or mic before installing it. The cold shoe does not have bevels, so you will need to do that first. This results in the tiny pins getting stuck between the screw holes, causing the flash or microphone to stick to the mount and risking breaking it trying to get it off. For my equipment to be installed and removed safely from these cold shoes, I need plastic cold shoe adapters. So they work fine with that.
The product I bought from B&K was quite satisfactory My first one was similar to this, and it was too tight and would not fit any hotshoe device I owned. I intended to attach this adapter to the L bracket of my SLR so that I could mount an RC unit on the hot shoe. At first, the remote unit on top of the camera was piggybacked to the flash control unit, but I can't do that with the newly purchased flash controller. I started thinking about what I should do next. In its comparison to B&D's comparable product, this adapter has more mounting screws to ensure a more secure fit Perhaps the only disappointment is the absence of a stop screw on the competing product. This was not an important decision for me, but might be for others. Including an older 430ex and a newer Flashpoint speedlight, it fits all the hot shoe products I have. I have found a good price as well!.
It is extremely well made and made to last. I was surprised to find that the mounting foot of my Canon 430 EX III was a little different than the rest There is no room in the shoe for the RT Speedlite. There are no contacts on the mounting foot of the flash because the shoe is too shallow. The LED light and microphone have a mount designed specifically for the cold shoe and I am surprised that it was not available. I think it would be better if it was added to the product description that the shoe may not fit a flash foot.
It is slowly becoming apparent to me that I need to accessorize my camera in order to get started with video. In addition to adding and plugging devices into your camera, accessory equipment can help maximize the functionality of your camera. It is most likely you will require a cage in order to do that. My only cage purchase last month was 2 and I have never looked back. The cages will allow you to attach your accessories, but a method must also be found for attaching them to the cage. Here is where these attachments for cold shoes come in handy. This allows you to move and install cold shoe mounts anywhere on top of the cage in order to configure your rig to your tastes. In the beginning, I was not sure I would need these, but as soon as I started using the cage, I needed them. It is my pleasure to say that each item I have received from SmallRig has been machined to an excellent standard.
It interferes with my (2) Canon flashes' contact pins because the mounting screws protrude from them. I won't put them at risk of damaging my flashes. The flash contact pins don't catch on anything now that I milled about a 1/16" channel down the center of the base. I also ground down the screw heads to make them straighter. The flash contact pins shouldn't get caught on the cold shoe, since it's a cold shoe.
It's a good thing to have them. A battery operated LED panel light I have slides into this shoe as it has a foot that is battery powered. As I was thinking of a way to add lights to the bed of my truck, it occurred to me that these brackets could be screwed into the bed and I could use The lights now serve two purposes one to light up my truck bed and two, for photography. Because I always have them with me, I can use them at any time. note, I bought four more to be placed strategically on our travel trailer at night so I can use the battery operated LED lights to turn on the interior lights. You can use it to add lights anywhere you need them.
This is a great way to add a cold shoe on top of my Canon C100 Mark II. I keep a low profile so that I don't inconvenience anyone. The only thing I wish it came with is an anti-twist Despite not having one, it seems to be pretty sturdy once tightened down. As a result, I have since purchased an alternate shoe adapter from Smallrig that has a safety pin, to make sure nothing falls out if whatever is screwed into the shoe loosens. There is a VERY handy feature about that piece, and that is why I would probably buy that one over this one, but this piece is a great value.
The gimbals in Ronin are not compatible with this mount. In order to mount my Ronin gimbal to the side of a cold shoe, I was looking for one. Moreover, I am glad someone has asked about whether this part is compatible with Ronin, and received an affirmative response. It appears the screw holes don't line up). There are no returns allowed for this item.
