It looks like it attaches to the hot shoe so I guess you can't use the flash at the same time, right?

You can just let it hang against the side of the camera/support it with a bit of tape. It doesn't have to stay in the hot shoe.

No, that's not correct. It has a cable that connects to the cameras shutter release. The hot shoe is there just for convenience, it has nothing to do with the remote function. The remote function is through the cable from the receiver to camera.

I can't think of any feasible reason why that would be so. Since you're not using a dedicated TTL flash, there's only one contact being utilized on the camera hot shoe to trigger the flash.

No. You either have something on the hotshoe or have the pop-up flash up. Even if you popped it with something on the hot shoe it will not function.

Absolutely not. It doesn't use the hot shoe to communicate to the camera, it uses a proprietary connector below the hot shoe, you can see it in the photo. Because of the geometry of this additional connection, you cannot physically slide it onto a anything other than the cameras it is designed for, and if you could, it still wouldn't flash.

Yes it will. The tab in the back slide into the hot shoe and the front of the screen has a slot in it that slides over the front of the flash. The screen also comes with a piece of velcro so even if the slot does not fit over your flash correctly, you can "velcro it in place". Don't be afraid to get this as it works great and will greatly improve your flash photography images. Ronhttp://ronkness.com - Digital Photography by Ron

You need to have one for your flash and one for your camera in order for it to work.

ok so this particular camera gives you that option? I don't have this camera. I'm looking to buy it and that's one thing that would make or break the purchase. I didn't know that's why it double flashes, thanks.

Hi Doug, I am using this device on my Nikon D800 and the only button that you can't access is the flash/bracket button. You can still access the button to pop up your on camera flash though. I got this to replace the one I had for my Nikon D7000 that mounted on the hot shoe because it was not compatible with my D800. I don't see that not having access to the on camera flash is a problem because you couldn't even use the on camera flash with the hot shoe mounted device anyway.

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

Yes but in that position, it prevents the flash from popping up. When I need the flash AND the GPS, I let the GPS hang by the side.

You are correct. Mount one on the camera, and connect one to the flash as long as has a compatible input.

Yes. It has a flash that goes in the hot shoe (just above the camera lens).

Yes, there is a hot shoe and I believe it can trigger a flash remotely also if I'm not mistaken.

It does not have a hot or cold shoe for any flash. It is designed to be used with two constant lights as well as an umbrella. It can be mounted on a light stand.

hot shoe is where you connect an external flash, connections on the fitting (hot shoe) allow the camera to communicate with the flash for more accurate exposures....it has nothing to do with the cover on the side of the d40

Hello,Please make sure the flash is attached appropriately to your cameras hotshoe, next select a mode on the camera that is either manual, shutter priority or aperture priority. If your flash is attached to the hot shoe, it may be that you are using one of the cameras program modes that supports the auto pop up flash. You camera manual should explain this in more detail.

It doesn't use the hot shoe for anything more than a convenient holder. You can let it dangle off the camera's side. It plugs into the side port. I've done this and used a hotshoe flash without a problem.
