What can you do if your camera has no shoe mounts?

Not all camcorders have cold shoe mounts! If yours doesn't (like mine - the Canon Vixia HF R800) then all hope is not lost. There are a variety of brackets and adapters on the market that can allow you to connect accessories with cold shoe fittings to your camcorders. I've bought quite a few of these from the internet over the past few weeks so recorded this quick show and tell to display some of the more common options. These are useful to have, but if I were buying a starter camcorder again, I would definitely go for a device with at least a cold shoe on it.
