DCS-1 Dual Cold Shoe Microphone Mount

RØDE DCS-1 Dual Cold Shoe Mount — Two-Channel Audio Setup on a Single Shoe

The gist: Video content creators and interview filmmakers who need two independent audio channels (dual RØDE Wireless GO receivers) or a mic-plus-light combo can achieve it on any camera with a single hot shoe — no cage required.

• Dual independent audio tracks: Paired with an SC11 Y-splitter, two RØDE Wireless GO receivers mount side-by-side and feed two channels into a single camera input — ideal for two-person interview setups.
• Lightweight aluminum at 42.7g: Adds minimal weight to mirrorless and compact cinema camera rigs where every gram matters for extended handheld or gimbal use.
• No cage required: Expands accessory capacity on small camera bodies without committing to a full cage rig — keeps the footprint small for client-facing and run-and-gun shoots.
• 1/4” mounting thread: Can be positioned off-camera on a tripod, arm, or desk stand if the camera shoe is occupied by a different accessory.

Newsshooter found the DCS-1 works particularly well for mirrorless filmmakers who need to record dual independent audio tracks while keeping rig complexity minimal — confirming the aluminum build “doesn’t flex or bend” with accessories attached.

Best for: Interview videographers and YouTube creators who need dual wireless receivers or a mic-plus-light configuration on a compact camera. Skip it if: you need locking cold shoe mounts — the clips are friction-based and can dislodge from heavy accessories without a secondary lock. Runs ~$11 — check the current price before buying.
