My Nikon SB900 flash won't fit in any of the cold shoes. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the replies. Don't understand it, but my 900 will not go in under normal hand pressure, and I'm afraid to force any harder. I wouldn't worry about cracking the stand, but I sure don't want to break the flash base! Will play this weekend and if I can't make it work, looks like the AS-21 for me!

I've only used this with Canon flashes. Unfortunately you will probably have to return this and buy a cold shoe stand specific to Nikon.

My sb900 fits in this one. I haven't tried multiple, but I know that one will fit, at least.

I have the Nikon D800 and D910 and they both work on the end hot shoe holder (down by the mustache). The ones across from each other are too shallow to accommodate the Nikon Speedlights. The holder does use the locking feature so insert the light unlocked.

You have two choices: 1) Get the Nikon AS-21, which is the only cold shoe mount I know of that is designed specifically for the SB900. Or 2) Get an adjustable cold shoe (search that exact wording in Amazon). Advantage of an adjustable cold shoe mount is it will fit on almost any flash. Disadvantage is that they are poorly QC'd generally--so you don't know exactly if what you're getting will hold up over time.

The Nikon AS-21 is made specifically for the 900, and 910. You'll need to buy that one. 8 bucks from Nikon, or cheaper from any of the photos stores.

Gosh. I have a canon speed light that I use this on. It is sturdy, way better than the one that came with my flash. Do they make one for the Nikon?

It doesn't fit cameras, it fits aftermarket shoe mount flash units, and its universal.

The flash on this particular camera is rectangle, the hole for the flash on the security box is round. It won't fit properly.

Just attach the GPS unit to the camera strap as previously mentioned, to use it and the flash. You cannot use the flash with the GPS attached to the hot shoe mount, it gets in the way of the flash popping up.

Make sure your flash is set to ettl, thats the way you can make changes.to the flash, even for manual flash.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question without seeing the shape of your flash shoe (where the flash attaches to the camera, usually metal part looks like a railway tracks). I had to buy an adaptor ($25) for mine and it works well.

Hi Darci, the off shoe cord will work with your flash unit. It's available for Canon and Nikon. To be sure, make certain that the number of metallic connectors on your hot shoe matches the number of connectors on the off shoe cord. Good luck and never be afraid to toss around non-ordinary photography.

Isn't it a little big to use on a T2i? Just get a hotshoe bracket and you should be able to fit it on a flash shoe... but again, it's a bit unwieldy to use on top of a small DSLR.

Camera hot shoes (where the flash goes) and cold shoes (same thing as a hot shoe, but off camera) are designed with a standard, they are all the same size. This is meant to be used universally with any flash. Although I do not own a YN-560II, I own several brands of speedlights and they all fit fine.Hope this helps!

It is not an issue with the make of the camera. This is to be used on a addon flash unit, and will fit the flash unit you attach to your hot shoe, I think the best way to see it is to look closely at the photo, you have to thread the velcro strap through the loops on the unit and then secure it to the flash unit

I bought another brand (azden?) to use as an external mic and the shoe did not fit. Instead of clicking it on, we just had to have people hold the receiver. I assume the shoe on this camera only fits the Canon brand ones. Hope that helps!

send it back and get the more expensive flash - I bought this one and the next one up and wasn't happy- now i'm wonderfully happy with my HVL-F43am and it fits perfectly!!

It has a standard cold shoe mount. I use a generic hot shoe flash stand which can be put on any tripod. The flash stands sell for as low as $2 on here. Just do a quick search.

Hi dog29! Catharina here from The Friendly Swede! I do apologize for the tardy reply! It should be as accessible as it would be without the case. On older batches the case would sometimes interfere with the photos when you used the flash, but we have made the camera opening larger on recent batches, so you should not have that problem now! If I can be of further assistance to you please email me at our storefront customer service link here:

Check the contact points on the hot shoe and on the bottom of the flash......make sure that there are at least 5 contact points. Also check to be sure that what ever flash you buy is compatible with your camera....

I'm really sorry I can't help you, I bought this flash as a gift for a friend. I would browse through the Nikon forums if I were you....good luck!

What flashes do you have? The ones with the old sony/Minolta shoe or the newer Sony shoe?
