The bottom of the mount enables attachment to a conventional camera cold-shoe slot, or through a 1/4"-20 threaded stud.

Low-Cut Filter: Guide


Whenever engaged, the low-cut filter (or high-pass filter) lowers low frequencies below 60 Hz. This can be helpful in mitigating low-frequency interference from inputs such as HVAC systems, wind, or passing cars.
