Atomos CEO Jeremy unveiled at Newsshooter that they had to delay the Atomos Shogun 4K recorder launch to have enough tine to finilize the firmware. But he promised it will ship right before Christmas. It will now ship on December 15 according to BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).

I wouldn’t mount anything like that on the flash shoe of my camera, metal chasis or not.
doesnt seem more heavy than a big flash unit
You bump a big flash unit and due to the leverage, something will likely break. Some flash units purposefully have plastic mounts and screws designed not to hold too well so they break before the flash shoe on the camera does. The set-up pictured looks like a minor disaster waiting to happen.
Which all reminds me, the foot of my macro flash power unit needs repairing because…
doesnt that ball based screw mount takes away any excessive force?
This why you get a cage 😀
Looks a bit risky but may be okay for certain situations. Handling wise it looks even more unwise. Will know when mine arrives. Loved the Samurai but had the older version with the rather dim screen for my AG-AF.
Yesterday, I got my GH3 back from service. The flash shoe broke off after almost two years of usage with a microphone and large flash (Nikon SB600). So be carefull.
It was not a major failure of the structure. I think some of the little screws went of.
This means Sony A7s will record 4K only in 2015, bravo Panasonic you are almost a year in front of the rest with 4K video.
pricey…..I’ll pass
For what it is, it is really good value! The cheapest that can do what it can do.
I’m seriously tempted to get it, either that or the Atomos Ninja Blade for about half the price.
