What do you use for an accessory shoe adapter for the the 1/4 threaded hole on your HMC-150 handle? I need to attach a Sennheiser G3 receiver to it. Thanks!
 
I need to utilise this too. I have my Microbeam 256 on the handle shoe and need to attach my Sony uwp receiver. My microbeam came with a small threaded, unheaded screw which fits this hole. I tried using this but the shoe adaptor on the sony tightens at an off angle which cant be altered. I have an accessory bracket which gives a bit and Imanaged to tighten it at just about 90 degrees and the sony goes on top of that, not the most elegant solution but seems to work, although I havent tested it in the field yet.
 
I use this with my top mount opening... just switch the screw around...

I use one similar to this I picked up at my local camera shop. Woks great for mounting my wireless mic receiver.
 
WOW. I never thought of using that little hole on top for anything. I would love to know where you got that as well madhmc
 
Mad, so you can actually remove the screw and reverse it to face down rather than up? Sometimes these things have screw threads that are larger on the top and the mfg. has sealed the unit after assembly so you can't easily open and reverse it w/o destroying it.

Nah, with this one you can slide it down to the end and unscrew it out... so you turn it around, then turn the shoe mount around, it just unscrews... and your done.

I have a pic somewhere....... maybe
