How to mount multiple accessories (Zoom H1 + Rode VideoMic) unto an HDSLR?

I'm shooting with a Nikon D5000 and am using a Zoom H1 in a dual-sound setup and I'm looking into purchasing a Rode VideoMic or maybe even the VideoMic Pro, but my main concern is how to mount both devices, because I would be plugging the shotgun into the H1 and therefore, need both devices. However, I want to maintain as low of a profile, minimal of a look, and generally, compact of a package as possible. I've looked into using the J-Rod J-Cube, but am turned off solely by its size, as it looks quite big on even the 7D and remember, I'm using a D5000. I've also considered using a Rycote Hot Shoe Extension Bar, but I thought that would look a bit cumbersome with two devices on it. I've looked into various side brackets and have actually tried one with the H1 on it, but it's quite big and holds it pretty far away from the camera and it looks really awkward.So, I want to know if maybe there's an alternative to the J-Cube that is smaller and looks nicer on a smaller body, or any other solutions to mounting both devices while keeping the package compact in appearance and just everything close together.

Also, I'm wondering if I were to use any of these solutions, if placing the shotgun on camera, but off-center, would affect the sound pickup, as in, if the VideoMic or VideoMic Pro are directional where sliding the microphone a few inches to the side on an extension bar away from directly above the lens would start to cut off the sound of the subject, or if I were to place the mic directly next to the lens by use of a side bracket with the hot shoe mount parallel to the tripod thread of the camera, would it again, start to cut off the sound of the subject. I'm not so concerned about the mics picking up any camera or handling noise.

A good strong glue

If you are that concerned about what your rig looks like, get rid of the SLR camera and get a camcorder. If your doing all you video with that camera, and it is mounted on tripod, a little bit of tape will hold stuff to the tripod legs. If no tripod, use the stuff as you need to, nobody will think you you look silly or stupid using 2 or 3 or even five things to get the best the video possible. You must know this, a shotgun mic only pics up sound 6 to 8 feet from that end of the mic, the further away, the worst the sound pickup

And if your concerned about Mic placement, before you spend your cash on one of those Mics and find it does not work, consider buying or renting when needed, wireless lavaliere Mic system? If you got that, audio would not be an issue at all. Visit your local Music Store, the one that sells Drum Kits and Guitars and other musical instruments. They are audio experts, they can help you. See if they have a rental plan. Use it, it is to your advantage to use it.
