This is a somewhat bulky but lightweight and functional plastic DJI Action camera mount for cold shoe and 1/4-20. It's a little bulkier than the tripod mounts DJI includes with the Action cameras but it does provide both pan and tilt adjustments compared to the standard adapters that are tilt only, and of course it adds the cold shoe compatibility.A perfectly good use for this is as a replacement for the mount that came with the camera, if you've lost it or just want a second mount to leave on a tripod. Another good use for this is in conjunction with clamps that have cold shoes, to be able to clamp an action camera onto something - the clamp can be positioned for security, and this mount has enough articulation to allow you to point the camera as needed. Of course you can also use it to mount an action camera to your main camera to give you wide angle video that goes alongside whatever you are shooting.The mount is made of plastic but it seems sturdy. The action camera mount works well with aluminum hooks to hold the camera in place. I would probably prefer it if it was made of aluminum but to give the range of adjustment it would be just as bulky, and this seems to be as strong as it needs to be.Overall, it's a better version of the mount DJI provided, at a reasonable price.
