Tentacle Sync cold shoe adapter?

[Bern Caughey]

Looking for a low profile cold-shoe adapter for a Tentacle Sync E.

Tried Googling without luck.

Suggestions?

Maybe just a piece of soft velcro with sticky back on top of a low profile cold-shoe adapter. It may not be the most elegant, but might work since they weigh next to nothing.

Ya, that's what I was thinking. And if it mattered, you could press in a little Sugru (moldable glue) or epoxy to create a flatter top surface to hold the velcro.

And I can't quite tell from this short video, but looks like LanParte is working on (or already has) something that may help you:

Tentacle Sync has begun selling LanParte’s Bracket for the SYNC E at a introductory price.

There are three versions, but the Cold Shoe variant isn’t coming until the end of the month, so I’ve been using a jury-rigged version. Bought a Dual Cold Shoe Extension Bracket, cut most of the ends off, & stuck some Velcro on top.

I may buy LanParte’s brackets eventually, but one benefit of my hack is they also work with the original Tentacle Sync, & not just the ‘E’ model.

And if anyone is curious why I needed a Cold Shoe Bracket it’s because the Movcam cages on my GH5(s) are minimalistic with little room for add-ons once a 5” Monitor is attached.
