I would like to screw the Rode microphone and the Godox flash transmitter onto my Sony A7 IV in parallel. Is this basically possible with an adapter or accessories?

What solutions are there here?

You can get a "dual hot shoe splitter" on Amazon.ca, with contacts for either Canon or Nikon. If the Sony hot shoe contacts match one of these (probably Canon), then it might work. I expect you need all of the proper contacts to be 'live', in order for the advanced flash features to work.

OTOH, I'd prefer to give full priority to the transmitter, on the hot shoe, and find another way to mount the mic. Easiest would be to mount it on the camera tripod screw. Next easiest, might be to mount the mic on the side plate of a camera "L" bracket.

Sounds like you need a cage for your camera. They usually have a couple cold shoes.
