  2. Slide the adapter fully into the hot shoe.
  3. Secure the adapter by tightening the locking mechanism, if present, on the camera or adapter.

For cameras without native hot shoe integration, use the provided standard hot shoe adapter and the 3.5mm stereo mini jack cable to connect the adapter's output to the camera's microphone input.
