Were you able to find the flash "shoe" (where it attaches to the tripod mount)? That's the only thing I'm missing, and I'm having a hard time finding one.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
The costume is pretty much done. All I need now, is the tripod adapter for the camera. I've been checking the internet on a regular basis for almost a year now. Anybody have any leads on one?

Did you ever get your adapter?

I did get the tripod adapter. Ended up buying another camera. Came in a nifty case with the adapter. This one was a Rollei 16S. I already had a Rollei 16. I am STILL looking for the shoe attachment for the flash. That's the only thing I'm missing.

Don’t be a stranger!

I bought one through amazon yesterday and it fits the camera beautifully, BUT.. awaiting my two flashes to show up to ensure 100% before I show what I did. Its not exact, but no one will notice.

Might have a line on a hot shoe for the flash. A member in one of my Facebook groups posted his camera, and listed where he got the part. It's on Amazon. I ordered one today. Let you know how it works out. In the meantime, here's the link:

I'm the member, it is one of two parts that were traditionally extremely hard to find. The flash adapter is cheap and in lots of quantities on amazon. Its not exact to what the original one was but works fine and no one will know the difference if you wrap the flash cable around it (As Kolchak did in the photo) The Rollei tripod adapter however... is still a rare find.

Yep, it's the Tri-pod head that I'm looking for, not the shoe. I actually found one and ordered it off of eBay, and it never arrived. The seller gave me a refund because it never arrived. It was a one-off, so he didn't have a replacement.

If i see one anywhere I will ping you
Always on the lookout daily for more.

Meanwhile, at DragonCon 2021...

Rollei 16 camera. You can get them on ebay every so often for a decent price, but most are listed at over $100+. The hardest part to find/obtain is the tripod adapter that allows the attachment of the Rollie E15B flash.

The hardest part to find/obtain is the tripod adapter that allows the attachment of the Rollie E15B flash (around $50). The screw in adapter that goes on top of the tripod part is on amazon for $6. Its taken me 5 years and a lot of ebay scouring to build 4 of those rigs
