What is this called?

It comes with the FS700 to attach the provided mic (which is on a tiny 15mm rod) to the cold shoe on the handle. I want to get a sturdier one so that I can attach a short carbon rod to it and hang a field monitor off of that.

It's called a whatyamacallit mic holder thingy ma bob - he he he.Only kidding

It's called a "Thingy" Get a rod clamp with a 1/4" X 20 TPI threaded hole. Then screw in a steel shoe mount adapter.

On Chinese ebay it's called " Horse shoe mounting Cigar Circumciser thing, beware, possibly ouch!"

@jleo The manual for my Chinese Tractor calls the grease fittings "Butter Nozzles".

@peternap Yeah, those manuals are hilarious. I actually had one for a lamp that said " Be careless to put the right thing into the other thing. I'm surprised more planes aren't falling from the skies (!)

A public reminder not to forget your LCD monitor mount.
