Do you need any type of cord from the camera to the shoe to make it workable with the external flash?

It's a cold shoe, so yep - a cord is needed. I only purchased this to attach my flash to a light stand and wirelessly trigger it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You need a cord from the camera to the light directly. You cannot hook anything to the coldshoe to control a light. It is just a mounting point.

Yes I was able to do this by buying a cord online with the appropriate sized ends....found one on amazon.Wired the flash out up to the camera trigger in....then every time I shot with hand held camera the remote cameras fired too.

you won't need a cord to hook up to your camera as that will mount directly to your hot shoe, as for the flash, the pocket wizard comes with a couple generic cords to hook up to your flash (whether that be a professional strobe or basic speedlites) but to answer your question, you will need some kind of cord to connect the pocket wizard to your flash. with proper cord configurations you can actually use a pocket wizard to fire your camera remotely in a chain reaction to then fire a flash!! like some kind of pocketwizardception O.o

This kit is for off-camera flash. It can work with any camera. I don't know what you mean by a cord coming with it. You will still need extra flashes to work with. If you buy them cheap, they will be manual control and need transceivers. I suggest doing some research. There are plenty of tutorial videos out there on beginner off camera flash photography.

no, but my computer already had a usb to camera cord from my last canon camera which was about 6 yrs old. The camera end of the cord also fits my cell phone.

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!

Yes ... but it is NOT a "dedicated" shoe. Just keeps a standard flash from frying the circuits in digitals. I have three and use them with everything from old shoe mounts to powerful studio strobes.

You will need a flash cord, its model varies according to tour camera's maker.

I was unable to get the provided cord to work with my 430EX and Canon 5D mkII. The flash would fire, but no TTL functions. The camera did not recognize the flash when it was on the cord. I ended up going with a "Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord" and bought the bracket separately for roughly the same price.

You don't have to attach to the hot shoe. The receiver connects to camera via the connector on the left, so I hang the receiver to the strap if I have to use the flash. And it still works fine

Yes, it will attach to the hot shoe with the coiled cable facing forward, i.e away from your forehead. The other end of the cable needs to be connected to the appropriate electric plug on your camera (depends on which version you buy). The hot shoe is just a holder so that is doesn't flop around.

As far as I know, it works with any camera and flash that have hot shoe connections.

There are two ways: use the flash on your camera as the trigger or by using one of the included wireless remote trigger. The trigger attahces to the shoe horn on the camera. The nice piece, the triggers for the flashes are external, so if you have a set you can just plug in using the mini headphone type plug. The set has adapter for other sizes like 1/4" plug, etc.

It is strictly a corded mike. The cord must be plugged into the camera's external mike jack. The hot shoe is only used to hold the mike onto the camera.

The cords that come with Pocket Wizards will work however you will need a hot shoe adaptor because your flash does not have a cord adaptor to plug into it.

Yes the charger that comes with it plugs right into the camera. If you want to do it externally you have to buy another charger

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