This SmallRrig HawkLock allows you to put a cold shoe wherever there is a quarter inch British Standard Whitworth tapped hole. It comes in two parts - the half that you screw to the hole and the part with the cold shoe on it.
To separate the two halves, you press a button which raises and disengages the locking bars on the underside of it and when you insert it, you press the button again. It is designed so that you can insert the cold shoe unit into either end of the base unit so you can change orientation very quickly and easily.
The base unit has the quarter inch BSW screw on it and also a couple of sprung locating pins although they will retract all of the way if you are screwing it into something that doesn't use them.
The upper unit with the cold shoe on it has a plastic base to the cold shoe so that if you are putting a flash unit on there that uses a hot shoe, it will not short out.
This is a useful little adaptor that adds a cold shoe to a camera cage or a magic clamp if you want to use it for a flash unit or a small lighting unit that uses a cold shoe.
