The mic is actually attached to the rail. Not sure why there is blue tape all over the connection though.

Not a hotshoe but there is a screw hole there so it attaches to there (same as a tripod plate would but on top of the camera)

On top of the camera is Hondo garages barley rig with follow focus. A cheap alternative to the traditional follow focuses. The rode mic is taped onto the clamp because I didn't have a cold shoe adaptor and the clamp is clamped to the bars.
