JJC MSA-8 has a 1/4"-20 threaded socket on the bottom and a "cold" flash shoe on the top, and is designed for use with an auxiliary flash or accessory. The locking ring affixes this shoe to the device you screw it on to. It is ideally suited for use with any tripod, light stand, or bracket with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud.
