Does not fit Camcorder Sony HDR-PJ780 or -PJ650

My Sony HDR-PJ780 and PJ650 have a hot shoe, the standard is in terms of size.
However, are in front of him and behind the hotshoe Stems, so that a light or microphone must be inserted from above. In order for the funktionniert the connection plates of light / microphone 4 must have special notches.
The additional device is then inserted from the top, then pushed about 1 cm forward in the shoe and is screwed.
The Sony HVL-LEIR1 example has a connection plate with the right (standard) size and the notch so that it can be inserted into the camcorder shoe.

This adapter brings absolutely nothing, because the connecting plate (the small, yellow metal plate below) is smaller than the standard size. Therefore it floats into the receiving shoes HDR-PJ780 and PJ650 (normal size) and can not be fixed.

The term "camcorder adapter for Sony models" is therefore incorrect or false.
I do not know how it is with the other and older Sony camcorder, but the HJ780 and HJ650 are the top models in 2013 and very popular. The providers would do well to draw attention to the incompatibility and can be prepared for a wave returns.

Otherwise the piece is robust and clean.
