Q: 2. Will the Profoto A1 slide into this? Others that I tried are too tight for the profoto A1 to slide into the cold shoe

A: The bar swivels by slightly loosening the top screw. I use it to get my mic closer to the subject.

Q: 7. is there a picatinny rail for the top to attach scope mounts to? I want to attach a Pic rail to the top of my tripod to attach scope w mounts attaches I have a male 1/4-20 male sticking up

A: I don't think that would work since this is basically a flash cold shoe, just in a wider version with room for more equipment like lights, microphones, wireless receivers etc. Your picatinny scope will not fit without modifying, in addition this is made of plastic and is primarily ment to support only very light equipment and not more heavy scopes.

Q: 8. Hi,I'd like to attach 4-Canon 600EX-RT's to this. Can this be done right out of the box or is other hardware needed? Also, can this unit be attached to a an umbrella adapter?Thanks.

A: No, it will be just a bit too small. The flash is about 3.1 wide. Times that by four, you will need at the smallest a bar that is 12.4.The rail is 12 inches and the flashes need more space.We do carry one that is 15 inchesAnd a tilt bracket needs to be very strong to hold 4 flashes. I suggest one like Manfrotto makes. And a longer stud for the adapter is better.

Q: 9. Is this wide enough to use with one of the BMD mini converters, as opposed to the micro converters?

A: No, the CAMVATE Extension Support for Blackmagic Design Micro Converter with Shoe Mount Adapter is not wide enough to use with a Blackmagic Design Mini Converter.

Q: 10. Is this aluminum or plastic?

A: The cold shoe adapter is gold-plated metal and the extension bar portion is heavy-duty plastic.
