Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TetherArca Cold Shoe Mount attach to?
It clamps onto any Arca-Swiss-type L-bracket, using the dovetail rail as its mounting point. The L-bracket is sold separately.
What kind of accessories can I mount with the cold shoe?
The cold shoe accepts any standard cold shoe accessory, such as on-camera monitors, LED panels, wireless transmitters, or smartphone holders.
Does this clamp include a 1/4"-20 thread?
Yes. It provides a 1/4"-20 accessory connection point, allowing you to attach threaded accessories in addition to cold shoe devices.
Will this mount work with non-Tether Tools L-brackets?
It is designed to fit standard Arca-Swiss-type dovetail rails, so it should work with most Arca-compatible L-brackets regardless of brand, though fit may vary with non-standard profiles.
