Is there a similar product that will work with a Pentax X-5 ( has a pop-up unit and no flash shoe)

I don't know of anything. This one was a nice idea for my needs but was cheaply made and really dosn't fit very well.

Hi Christine, the a6000 has a pop-up flash and also a hot shoe that you can connect external ones to. The recommended flashes are ones that fits the Multi-interface shoe. Thanks_Mitch

couldn't find info on whether this has wireless remote capability--doesn't seem like it. None of the products on the pentax or amazin sites seem to advertise they're compatible with the K-x. Anyone have knowledge about this? thank you.

Yes, the *ist takes K-Mount. An advantage-if you still have lenses for old Pentax film cameras-is that you can use them on the digital Pentaxes. Besides Pentax lenses, other makes with K-mount will fit.

I have no idea what a camera shoe is. If you're looking for a flash attachment, a Vivitar 285HV works and its well with my T3i and the price is right.

Yes it works if you purchase a shoe specially made for it because the pin adapter of the flash itself does not work

Yes it does work for Pentax. Since it's not an actual flash and the cold-foot that fits into the hot-shoe is universal it will likely fit any camera with a hot-shoe.You do not even need to attach it to the hot-shoe if you have another way to secure the power pack part of it.It will fit/work on almost any lens since it works bases on the filter thread size and not the make/model.It's not very bright for macro's though. In order to get proper exposure at f/11 I had to go to ISO1600 @ 1/30th. This should be fine if you are using a tripod and your subject doesn't move. Since it doesn't need to be on the hot-shoe I will likely be attaching a standard flash with a DIY Diffuser and have the Ring-light on as Fill Light. Yes it does work for Pentax.

This one does not require an adapter. It is designed for the multi interface for the newer Alpha NEX cameras. It is a decent flash and offers more options than the popup flash. If you are looking for a versatile flash I would recommend the HVL43 with an adapter. Overall I like it but due to the size and does not require and adapter for my NEX 6.

The kit only consists of mounting equipment, so you would still need to purchase off-camera flashes to use for it. The kit itself is intended to support anything that mounts a standard hot shoe. You would also need to make sure that your flashes would be able to be triggered by the camera's pop-up flash, or else also purchase remote triggers.

It works on my x100s, too. I like these little units, and the upgraded/added locking ring is surprisingly crucial to shooting enjoyment.

it would be better to contact pentax service to truly find out. sorry, i do not know.

It's not a flash just a lamp so if you just need an extra light sorce this will work. The shoe is not hot and can be mounted on the camera or tripod.

Any Pentax EVER MADE will work with this camera. The screw mount lenses need an adapter. This goes for old lenses made for the K1000. I know, because I use them!

Yes, it looks like it uses a canon speedlight, and the shoe size is the same. May have to play a little to figure out how well it will sync with all of the functions, but it should work

There is a built in flash that pops up from the top. There is also a shoe if you wanted to add your own flash.

If your built-in flash is popping up, then you can use your speedlite flash externally, off the camera. Most digital cameras will have settings in which you select how you want to use your flash, such as if you want to use a remote flash - read thru your owner's manual to get the exact info for your camera. What kind of camera do you have? I bought this speedlite for my Pentax and it works great - I like to use it remotely, off the camera, with a diffuser.

I have the Nikon V1. There is no built in flash but you can purchase an assessory flash which I have not done yet. Since I like to take photos without flash I have delayed buying the hot-shoe flash. However I just returned from the Perot Museum which proved I needed the flash attachment. . . waiting for a sale.
