The entire bracket, including shoe mounts, is machined from a single piece of aluminum alloy for durability and strength. Also, in addition to the shoe mount, a 1/4"-20 thread is available for attaching the bracket to a tripod, rig, or another bracket featuring a 1/4"-20-threaded stud.

The accessory shoes each feature backstops for greater security when attaching accessories. The bottom shoe that attaches to the camera features a locking pin which keeps it in place and prevents the shoe from rotating during use.

Q: 7. Will this fit my FDR AX100 Sony?

A: I believe so, yes. Note that your camera's shoe mount is a hot shoe mount, able to power accessories like a viewfinder, flash, or microphone. The V-Rig 4.1 Triple Shoe Bracket will support external accessories PHYSICALLY, but will not conduct a signal from your camera to the accessories. This bracket would be a good solution for you if you need to mount things like lights or wireless microphones that have their own power source, but NOT for anything that requires a hot shoe mount.
