Q: 1. Does the bar swivel or is it always parallel to the film plane? I want a shoe mounted bar that can be parallel and also turn 90 degrees.

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

Q: 2. Is this aluminum or plastic?

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

Q: 3. Is this product made of plastic, ABS, or metal?

A: The cross bar is made of heavy aluminum and the shoot mount is brass. It's quite solid, which also means a little on the heavy side. I'm okay with that.

Q: 4. Can it take a Rode videomicro mic without slipping?

Q: 6. Is the entire shoe made of Delrin plastic, or just the lock nuts? (From the image it's obvious the nuts are plastic, but the rail looks likely to be also.) If so, how sturdy is this? Does it stay in place better or worse than metal?

A: The camera shoe is aluminum.
