Canon has introduced what it calls an “accessory shoe” for the Canon EOS R3 and the recently announced Canon XF605 professional camcorder.

Yesterday, TEAC announced their first third-party accessory for the new accessory shoe which will add XLR microphone capabilities to the EOS R3 and XF605, but this is just the beginning of what we'll see for the accessory shoe in the coming months and years.

I have been told that the Canon EOS R5c will also receive this accessory shoe, which makes a lot of sense.

I have also been told that Canon may offer the accessory shoe as a paid upgrade for the Canon EOS R5. Although the source did say nothing was guaranteed, but Canon is actively talking about it.

More to come…
