Audio-Technica AT8469 Camera mount adapter designed for standard camera shoe mounts

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica AT8469 is a camera shoe mount adapter that converts a standard camera accessory shoe into a threaded mounting base. It provides a 5/8"-27 outside thread and a 3/8"-16 inside thread for attaching standard microphone clamps, mounts, and lighting accessories. The adapter lets you rig audio and lighting hardware directly to a camera shoe without additional brackets. It is a compact, passive accessory for camera-mounted production setups.

Product Description

The AT8469 camera shoe mount adapter bridges the gap between a camera's standard accessory shoe and the threaded mounting hardware used across audio and lighting accessories. It presents a 5/8"-27 thread on the outside and a 3/8"-16 thread on the inside, the two most common standards for microphone clamps and stand-mount accessories. This dual-thread design lets you attach a shotgun microphone clamp, small mount, or compatible lighting accessory directly above the camera body. For run-and-gun video, event coverage, and field interviews, the adapter keeps a microphone close to the lens line without a separate boom or stand. Because it is fully passive, it adds no weight-bearing electronics and introduces no signal path of its own. The adapter slides into a standard shoe mount and provides an immediate threaded anchor point for your accessory. It is well suited to videographers and broadcast crews who need a reliable on-camera mounting solution. You can explore compatible clamps and mounting hardware through Creation Networks. The simple, tool-free design makes it a practical addition to any camera-mounted audio kit.
