Take our user survey and make your voice heard.
We’re in an industry where carrying around multiple cameras or a single camera with unattached accessories or a camera and a smartphone is de rigueur - it must be done. So, we know all too well the endless annoyance of putting down one device and lifting up another - all the while hoping our subject remains compliant and/or stationary. Well, no more!
A Japanese camera gadget maker has an answer for our media-world problems, and it’s fantastically simple: Etsumi’s new accessory bracket attaches to your main camera’s tripod mount, extending to the left and forward, and the other end of the bracket provides either another tripod mount or a hotshoe connector. Boom! Attach whatever you like!
Whether it’s an action cam, a dot sight for shooting rapidly moving subjects, or - and this one really appeals to us - a photo-centric smartphone case with a tripod mount (because more and more we find ourselves longing to simultaneously shoot high-res with a main camera, then lower-res with a smartphone for immediate social media shares).
The brackets are selling for ¥4,600 for the dual tripod mount version and ¥5,300 for the hotshoe connector version. They weigh about 63g (tripod mount) and 93g (hotshoe mount), respectively, and are both 100 x 90mm square and about 5mm thick.

If we are reduced to that, we are really doomed, I think... I do not even have a smartphone! lol

Timtak: I have one from allexpresss.com. Works great. As you say, at a most inexpensive price. The price they pay in Japan is hugely inflated. Of course, what do you expect from a country that sales $50 watermelons like hotcakes and have sheeple that buy them? I do think the Iphone bracket in ingenious. That being said, I'd rather shoot myself in the head then post anything shot with a low quality smartphone video. So gaucharie.
