I have one of the old metal flash brackets, CTOOM, which I use for flash and 
tripod mounting with my M4.  I use it both for taking the strain off the top 
of the camera with shoe type flash and convenience for it has two tripod 
mounts, one in the center of the body and the other centered behind the 
lens.  Both ways I feel I am protecting the camera from OOPS!!!

Sorry, it was late, however, anyone who has actually read a camera manual
would understand my meaning.

I do agree that having the tripod aperture in the base plate is not a great
design.
