Hot shoe extension - not a cold shoe

Want to extend the flash forward of the hotshoe.  I already have a hotshoe extension cable.  This is not what I am looking for now.

I am looking for a way to move the flash forward (maybe 4 inches....or maybe 12 inches; i.e. I do not know) to another hotshoe where the flash will be mounted.....over the lens barrel. 

When I google "hot shoe extension" I get what appear to be COLD shoe extenders, lots of them.  Any ideas?  

Thanks ahead

Nothing like this exists AFAIK. I was looking for something similar about 6 months ago, but came up empty handed.

Will moving it forward help? Higher helps stop red/steel eye, I use the wimberley bracket and extension cord

Yes, with a Wimberley bracket you can move it forward and/or up. They are not cheap, but they are very well made.

Why not use a radio transmitter/receiver? Though if you're insistent on needing TTL you'll spend much more for an RF system. I use it for manual flash only at the present time.

A simple transmitter/receiver kit is less than $60. https://store.naturescapes.net/phottix- ... igger-set/ ($55)

TTL compatible is much more money: https://store.naturescapes.net/phottix- ... and-nikon/ ($330)

Or you could use a longer off-camera flash cord. We sell 3 meter versions in the store here: https://store.naturescapes.net/jjc-off- ... n-cameras/ ($38) I have been using the above cord for years - exactly like the Canon or Nikon versions.

If you want to get the Nikon branded version B&H has it here: (up to 3 meters/9 feet long): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/3 ... _Shoe.html ($75)

Flash bracket does just what you say you want to do, this one will place it above the lens foot.

Add this one to place it further forward or to aim the flash at a close in macro subject:

Both need a dovetail plate to mount to on a lens foot, you need more bits to attache to camera/lens without a foot. Your flash cord should mount directly to both of these items.

Ok, thank you so much for your suggestions.
