I bought this, and find that the shoe (which holds my Zoom h4n) slides off my canon t3i. Any advice on how to properly affix the shoe to the camera?

When I attach the strap, I line up the screw on the strap with the hole on the bottom of the camera and start threading it on by using (twisting/turning) the strap. Then once the thread has started I use the pop up "C" shaped crank (?) and then hand tighten by turning that. I never overtighten but always make sure it is snug then lay the "C" shaped crank flush against the camera. I hope this helps!

No. The Canon website with the specifications for the Canon VIXIA HFR42 says there is no accessory shoe on the camera. The accessory shoe is required for this microphone. Sorry.

This device uses a Velcro strap to size to the flash. A Canon 320x has a sloping head on it, so at most you may need a little Velcro tape on the head of the flash to insure it does not slip. I have used this on may flashes and it works well on everything I tried it on.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

I bought this for a cannon 6d and ended up returning. Not only could I not use cable release, but it just didn't fit right and was poor design. (At least for my camera). I am still looking for one that will work. Regards - jtbaskinphoto

I don't know if it fits. I bought it for the Canon 7D, have owned it for about a year and used it less than 10 times. I liked it at first, but now it's useless. It doesn't click securely, so it easily falls off. Even the eye piece you're supposed to open and close doesn't click and stay closed either. For this reason, I no longer recommend it. Too bad because if it stayed on, it would be useful. I tried taping it, but that was a mess.

I use the same one on my HFG10. For some reason, Canon decided to go with this smaller hot shoe. The rest of the world (Nikon, etc) use the standard size. This is just a holder. There's no electrical connection.

what you mean with how is this?? if you meant if fits.. I am not sure but I think that hot shoes for canon are pretty standards... beyond that functions the same.

I wish I could help you but sadly I can't ! I bought the same lens and it works perfectly well ! It's on my camera (a canon T3 rebel) permanently except when I need my zoom ! Maybe you should try it on another camera ! It would tell you if it has a defect or not ! Sorry about that ! Arnaud.

I am using the strap that came with the camera itself. Its attached to the camera body instead of the carry case, feels much safer this way. The carry case does not seem to be designed for a strap and I am pretty content removing the case and leaving the camera hanging by the strap when taking pictures. This is a general problem with all compact cases. I tried the one canon provides but that too doesnt have a strap.

On a "genuine" Canon strap there should be the flexible viewfinder cover. To use it you must remove the eye cup, pull upwards. Then you can slide the cover on in it's place. I never use it, just too cumbersome with out a real need.

It took me a while to figure out, too, so hopefully this description will help you. So, the lens on the camera has a black ring around it. That has to come off in order to put the adapter on. The first time I took it off was a little hard because I was afraid of breaking it or something, but once you do it once, you'll have no problem doing it again. There should be a point on the ring that sort of juts out a little bit. You have to use that to sort of twist it off. It might help if you put a flat knife or something underneath to get a good grip, too. Just see what works for you. But once you get the black ring off, you can putt he adapter on, you just have to make sure that all the points line up with the grooves in the camera. Then it should snap into place, just the same way the black ring on the camera was. Once the adapter is on the lens just screws right in. I hope that helps...

As long as your device fits the hot shoe, there shouldn't be a problem with it then attaching to your tripod. The hot shoe fits both my Canon and my Yongnuo 560 II flashes if that helps you.

I use it all the time with my Canon 50D and it works great. Yes, it will fit the hot shoe, but I have always had a 580EX flash in the shoe when doing a group picture. It is light and can either dangle or strap/rubber band it to the tripod. It has never dropped or swayed - so little chance of ruining the product.

Shutter release is on the grip, slanted towards the front. Don't know for sure if it works on the T4i as I only have a 3Ti ....
