How do you connect the transmitter,,,I have a nex7...how does it fit on the flash shoe

This particular one is for NEX5 and screws into where the flash normally goes. There is another model that fits the NEX7 hot shoe.

It fits perfect. I'm using it with my nex7 without any issue. All you have to do is place it on the hotshoe as a normal flash unit.

Hi there! This Sony Flash uses a smart accessory terminal whereas the NEX 6 uses multi interface shoe. This Flash is compatible with NEX-5R, NEX-5NK and NEX-F3K. Hope this helps. -Ely

I own an Alpha model. If the NEX has the same shoe it will NOT work. Do yourself a favor and buy a Sony. I did could not be happier. Youcan get some decent deals on Ebay.Harry

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

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

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.

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.

It's as simple as holding the transmitter in your hand and plugging in the receiver to the camera (while it's on a tripod). I'm not sure if you can even just put it on the hot shoe but you can search that on the internet for video tips.

Hi Brad, it would depend on the type of shoe mount the flash is compatible with. You can use this mount adapter if the flash is compatible with the Multi Interface Shoe. Thanks_Mitch

The one I own is the proprietary shoe for Sony, so I needed an adapter to use on my nex 6. Didn't know this when I ordered either as Amazon said compatible with the nex6. Nice unit all the same.

It is a standard shoe in fit. However no idea it it will remote trigger will work for sure or not. I would think it should. I use it with the Digital Slave Flash With Bracket For The Sony Alpha NEX-5, NEX-3 Digital Camera. It works well.

Yes, it work with all flash that will fit in the shoe, you have to set the switches to work with one or two flashes. Try setting one first once you have that one working the second should be easy.

Hello J Dixon. What do you mean cold shoe? This turns the Sony "multi media" connection into a hot shoe. I used this to trigger a wireless flash system for my NEX 5N and it has been perfect! Not one problem. I wish I could say that with all the cheap Chinese flashes I've gone thru. What a joke! I hope this helps? I see you're going to use it with a mic? Not sure how you probably no better than i do

I mount my camera on a bracket and use the flash with a radio slave bought from amazon. It works fine.i believe the radio slave is made by cowboy. Not too expensive. When I used the flash on the camera, I had some issues

Regardless of where you purchase the adapter, you should call Sony tech support to verify which hot shoe adapter you need. I ended up ordering the wrong one and now have to return it. They don't make it easy to figure this out, in fact, I was on hold for quite some time before I was able to get a definite answer. Just explain what you are tryinig to do and ask them to tell you what you need. I went from the A350 to the A77II so the (fairly expensive) flash I currently own won't fit. Hopefully the adapter will do the trick. I have seen positive and negative feedback.

Just to be sure - make sure the rotator wheel is turned fully open. Counter clockwise. It's located right above the shoe slot on the flash. Then it should slide right in. Then rotate the wheel clockwise to tighten it down. Also, if all that is OK, just make sure you have one actually made for the Sony. Mine, on the back, just above the input shoe says "For Son" - no Y on mine, just for son.Hope this helps.

I have a NEX-7 so guess they are similar. I have to go into the Drive mode in the Camera menu and set it to the IR commander mode. My guess is that you have to go into one of your camera's menus and program it to accept the IR Commander. Your user manual should tell you what you have to do. Or a nearby camera shop could also help. Hope this helped.
