Canon Vixia HF R800 - adhesive cold shoe and accessory options
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-01-15

The Canon Vixia HF R800 is a great entry level camcorder from Canon but it doesn't come with any cold/accessory shoes. Fortunately there are a few cheap aftermarket products you can purchase in order to greatly widen the functionality of this camcorder.

The ones I recommend and use are:

1) An adhesive cold shoe (a few dollars; available from Amazon and many camera stores).
2) A 1 to 3 cold shoe adapter.

You can then connect any (compatible) external microphone and lights to your Vixia HF R800 thereby bringing it up from an entry level camcorder to ... something slightly more powerful!
