Hot Shoe to Articulating Arm?

[Chris Adams]

Hey guys, I have a noga articulating arm for my monitor. The only way I have to attach it to the 7D would be via some sort of hotshoe mount.

Sort of like what is now sold with most noga arms on b&h like this:

But I cannot find one sold separately anywhere. Anyone know where I can pick one of these guys up?

if you don't mind buying two different parts then these should work

Why on earth are those little parts so expensive...

A couple different sizes for the arms as well as a hot shoe adapter. Much more reasonably priced.

Man, maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd never trust that kind of weight -- especially with an articulating arm creating even more leverage -- off a hot shoe.

yeah, the shoe of one of my xh-a1s is loose for that very reason, but at the time there was no ther way to mount a monitor. most rail systems have extra 1/4-20 holes and they're a much better and more secure way to mount the arm.
