Is there a bracket which will fit in the accessory shoe, to allow a small camera (35mm or digital) to sit atop my Technika? Preferably QR. Thanks.

I think there is a 1/4-20 hole under the shoe, which would let you put a QR bracket on and mount anything you want.

Thanks, Ed, but that's only on the later models. The shoe on my model IV has several screws holding it to the body.
Since posting this, I've searched B&H more closely, and have found three possibilities which were intended to mount flash units in an accessory shoe. Two of them have a ball-head, one is just a 1/4" screw.

A Kaiser 201201is a slip in ball head that will fit the shoe and has a 1/4" threaded post and an accessory shoe that can slide screw on to it if you want to use it for a flash gun.

Thanks, Bob. So far I can't find the 201201 listed at B&H, Adorama, or Porters.
