Shoe Stage

Cap a camera hot shoe with a figure stage

A hot-shoe cover that is a tiny stage. The foot slides into the flash shoe on top of a camera, protecting the contacts, and the 24 mm platform on top carries a small figure, a name or a mascot, so every photo walk has a companion on the camera.
