Hot-Shoe System: Overview

The Hot-Shoe System from Hawk-Woods is a range of products allowing you to maximise the potential of a standard camera hot-shoe fitting. The system features multi-functional hot-shoe adaptors compatible with all types of cameras. With various mounting options, some adaptors in the range allow you to mount and power multiple on-board equipment. This could include radio mics, lamps and hard disk recorders.

HB-C1 Hot-Bloc

The HB-A1 is the most basic version of the Hot-Bloc adaptors. Once attached via a simple hot-shoe fitting, it will provide an additional three hot-shoe mounts. This allows the operator to mount multiple hardware together. This could be a combination of equipment, including, radio mics, lamps and hard disks.

As well as providing three the hot-shoe mounts, the HB-B1 Hot-Bloc features an NP-F battery fitting and two power outputs. This allows the user to both mount and power on-board equipment. A rear mounted DC input also means mounted equipment can be powered from an external power-source.

The HB-C1 Hot-Bloc offers the same features as the HB-B1, but is compatible with the Sony BP-U type battery offering a higher output capacity.

The HC-1 ‘Hot-Clamp’ is a single hot-shoe adaptor designed to conveniently clamp on to the handle of most cameras. With a simple clip feature, the lightweight and robust Hot-Clamp allows the user to mount an additional piece of on-board hardware. This could be another power source adaptor,such as the HB-B1/C1 Hot-Bloc's.
