Can someone tell me where the controller hooks to? I was told it doesn't hook to the hot shoe, so where does it connect on your camera?

Hi there,I do not know in what camera you intend to use the remote. It is not attached to the hot shoe but to the 10-pin remote terminal. In my Nikon D300s this plug is on the front left side of the camera. Not all DSLR cameras have that remote terminal, as it occurs with my Nikon D40X.I hope this helps,Luis

Yes, I can confirm that this doesn't go into the hot shoe. It plugs into your D700 10-pin remote terminal input socket. If you refer to your D700 parts illustration on page 4, it's part #7. Hope that helps. Bernard

There should be a PC port on the front of your camera - assuming it is a film camera, for which this Satechi is made. If you do not have such a port, then this unit will not work on your camera. I use mine on a film, Nikon F5 camera.

Edwin,It might attach to the hot shoe or to a bracket on the bottom of the camera. But it will attach to your camera in any situation.

Well... it will not "fit" directly on the camera... it will fit a "hot shoe" flash unit placed on this camera...

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.

I use the same one on my HFG10. For some reason, Canon decided to go with this smaller hot shoe. The rest of the world (Nikon, etc) use the standard size. This is just a holder. There's no electrical connection.

No adapters come with it if that's what you're asking. But you can pretty much buy an adapter for any camera. However it is not necessary to hook it to the hot shoe. That's what the plug is for in the picture, it cconnects to your camera and triggers the flash through the plug. Just let the remote hang.

There are alot of hot shoes, and sometimes one is compatible with a whole series of cameras , and then again sometimes not...I suggest, what I did . That was to go to Amazon and check on all the hot shoes..Usually the cameras and devices they are compatible with are ALL listed either in the actual title, or in the Technical Info....I have 4 hot shoes, for different cameras ..One of them is for two different cameras, so they are interchangeable.. Just make sure you know with WHAT ? :-) Hope this helps...

I am not sure that I know what you are talking about.. rtm? 25? Are you using the the 100M device with the cord connected to your camera? It does not connect to the camera via a hot shoe (flash) connection- it only sits there with mounting screw for stability. The part with the large button is the receiver and needs a cord to connect to the camera. once connected, it can trip the camera. The remote has no hole to connect to - anything. ask more

Yes and no. I don't believe there is a hot shoe mount on that camera to put the light directly on it. However, it should have the screw hole in the bottom of the camera for you to mount it to the grip and then you can place the light atop of the grip. I've found this kit has many advantages and use it every time I shoot.

is to conect directly the hot shoe with the trigger or flash through a long cable. In my case I used it to conect the trigger of the cowboy system because it wasnt make it good contact . :)

I looked up your camera. I don't think it has a hot shoe mount for an external flash. If it does (is there a "flap" that hides it?), then you can put this on it. Even if it doesn't, this flash has a slave function that lets you fire it off when you fire off your built-in flash. So you could still get really flash results just using this flash in slave mode.

The shock mount will fit in the hotshoe on top of the camera but if you don't have an external line in on the camera then it won't work. You would also need an XLR to 3.5mm converter to connect it. I would strongly suggest running it through an external audio recorder like a Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H4N. Syncing audio is easy. Hope this helps.

They make an addon mic that mounts on the hotshoe and plugs into a jack on the side of the camera. You should be able to use that port for your purpose.

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.

Yes, however, the transceiver connected to the camera doesn't necessarily need to be fixed to the hot shoe. It can just be connected via the cable and be allowed to dangle. Up to you.

It connects to the shoe on top of the camera. You may also use an ear bud if you like, but it is powered through the shoe.

I just attached the Off Camera Shoe Cord and speedlite to my tripod. It works well, I have no complains.
