Its not a hotshoe. Why call it that ? Its a mounting point for a video light for vloggers. If the camera works at at all, its ok for vlogging. For the $$ and minimal features (tiny sensor, no evf, etc) it probably does work ... somewhat, until a switch or button dies prematurely.
I don't think the "hot shoe" or whatever is even functional. None of the photos shows something attached to it, and close inspection (?) seems to show that it is only a depression on the top plate with some chrome bands printed on it.
I'believe it's some knockoff surveillance module fitted inside a plastic box...
