This is a hotshoe mount for a laser pointer. My use case is to mount a green laser to a camera to help point the camera for astrophotography, but you might find some other photography uses for it. My laser pointer has a button that sticks out. Does anyone know if any manufacturers make a laser-pointer/LED type device that attaches to the hot shoe of a Canon that can pinpoint areas when using a telephoto on a sky tracker, such as Astrotrac or iOptron, etc. My eyes aren't what they use to be and it's tough to locate specific objects or areas to photograph just eyeballing it.

If you can see the camera in the mirror (through the viewfinder), then the camera sensor is aligned. Cheers, Damien LOG IN TO REPLY |

Something tells me it would not work because the laser could be dead center but the camera could still have yaw and you wouldn't know. LOG IN TO REPLY |
