Since i'm an urban explorator, i need a tascable torch for my photo and for bright my road, since a lot of place where i go, the light is missing.
i can't bring with me my flashes because they are too big, so i decided to create a torch mount like a flash directly on the hot shoe.
U can regulate as u want, for my choise i have mounted for have vignetting, but i can fix it using 30 mm zoom( 28 mm had a lot of vignetting, from 30/32 mm the vignetting disappear)
The hot shoe dimension is standard, the hole for the torch is 26,88(my torch is 26,90).
I think it can hold torch up to 24/25 mm, thanks to the 2 screw that tighten the hole
only things required is 2 M5 screw and nut.
Update V2
I changed the inclination degreed to 45 degrees, so now u have a lot of space to balance the torch without collide withe your head when shooting.
Reduced the thickness of the hot shoe from 17mm to 13mm(and some number after the point like 13.45mm), so the hot shoe now can fit exactly the mount on the camera(only aesthetic, i think the dimension of the hot shoe are the same for all cameras, if not put a comment and i rework for u)
Incresed the number of the hole in the middle parto from 3 to 4 to balance a very well the weight.
Reduced the lenght of the torch holder from 44 to 33 mm, so now torch like mine can easily acces to the battery without unmount the whole body.
Incresed the size of the tensioner so now the screw doesn't collide with the mount.
