Abstract

Claims (20)

1 . A hot-shoe adapter system for fastening accessory parts to a hot shoe, comprising:

a hot-shoe adapter with a first side for fastening in a hot shoe and a second side, and

an adapter plate, which comprises a plurality of first holes for fastening the hot-shoe adapter, a plurality of second holes for fastening the second side of the hot-shoe adapter, four corners each having a third hole and at least one magnetic element in the region of the third holes.

2 . An adapter system according to claim 1 , wherein

the adapter plate has a plurality of fourth holes for accommodating attachment components.

3 . An adapter system according to claim 1 , wherein

the adapter plate has four side surfaces and at least first and second longitudinal holes or elongate holes in the region of the four side surfaces.

4 . An adapter system according to claim 3 , wherein

the adapter plate has at least one hole in or on at least two of the side surfaces.

5 . An adapter system according to one of claim 1 , wherein

the hot-shoe adapter has at least two domes on its second side, whose external diameter is matched to an internal diameter of the second holes so that the domes can be inserted into the second holes.

6 . An adapter system according to claim 1 , wherein

the hot-shoe adapter has an inner element with an external thread and an outer element screwed thereon with an internal thread,

wherein due to a rotary movement between the inner element and the outer element a part of the hot shoe can be tightly clamped between the first end of the inner element and the outer element.

7 . An adapter system according to claim 6 , wherein

the outer element is provided with a lever and wherein the pitch of the internal thread and the external thread are provided so that tight clamping on the hot shoe is possible without a complete rotation of the outer element.

8 . An adapter plate for fastening accessory parts to a hot shoe comprising:

a plurality of first holes, four corners each having a third hole and at least one magnetic element in the region of the third holes.

9 . An adapter plate according to claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of fourth holes for accommodating attachment components.

10 . An adapter plate according to claim 8 , further comprising four side surfaces and a plurality of first and second longitudinal holes in the region of the four side surfaces.
