ball head question

[benjaminwraae]

Hey I´m looking for at solution.

I need a mini ballhead that attaches to a flashshoe like most ballheads do. But instead of a 1/4 inch screw in the other end I need it to have a cold shoe.

Anyone has an idea?

Kind regards,
Benjamin

There are numerous cold shoes that screw onto a tripod 1/4-20, e.g. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/828816-REG/Vello_CS_20_Cold_Shoe_Mount.html

Thanks for quick reply. I guessed that would be the solution. So do you know the one that is the best quality?

That ballhead looks decent, I have a bunch of cheap Giottos that I use for smaller things, they were around $15usd each. I guess it depends what kind of weight you will be hanging off them.
