Sorry. I ordered it by mistake and it was returned it without open the package. Eventually, I got a Vivitar 628AF that it fit my Sony A390 without the adapter. Also, I use my old Minolta Maxxum 7000 flash with an adapter if I need to use it on theSony. They work fine on Manual mode. You may save some money that way. Good luck.

yes this designed for the a7. A7 use a regular hot shoe, Sony Alpha SLT/ DSLR use some odd one. This really is the only flash that you don't need an adapter and is TTL, but it is smaller/ weaker then most flash. Yes I tried at Tall's camera on my A7 and it worked with TTL. Just didn't buy it yet.

The hot shoe only acts as a support and need not be used for the unit. You can still use the remote and that flash at the same time!

Hello Photohub,No, for a Canon or any regular hot shoe flash you need this item: B005ODJ7P2

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

I have had no experience with the a77 But it works very well with my nex7 which uses the same hot shoe

P.S. I think you can get an adapter that would allow you to mount a device with a standard hot shoe to the Canon Advanced Accessory Shoe, but I don't recall seeing anything that would let you connect this device with its Advanced Accessory Shoe to a standard hot shoe. Also, you would not be able to get power to the mike.

You'd have to get an adapter. For some reason, Sony is the only camera manufacturer in the world that decided to create a different hot shoe mount. Very annoying for Sony users. They basically made it where you have to use a Sony flash... unless you're using it off camera, in which case you can use any flash.

There is only one connection on the hot shoe on this flash. That should be able to work with just about any camera with a hot shoe. As long as is not Sony camera I believe it should work. Hope that helps.

As I recently bought the A58 I also need an adapter for the new standard hot shoe, but I will have it until the next week, I also hope it will work really well as did with my old A55. I'll update my answer then if you're interested. Happy Christmas!

No, this flash does not require an adapter for the NEX-7. The NEX-7 has a different flash shoe from the NEX-5 and NEX-3 models. The NEX-7 takes the same flashes as the SONY DSLR cameras.

I have the same question. It looks like it has the standard hot shoe and not the Sony version. I have a Sony A series DSLR's and it needs a completely different type of hot shoe, this does not look like the Sony. It looks like you would have to purchase an adapter to make this work.

I don't know whether it will work with the NEX7 or not. I have a Quantaray QB-350A flash which I want to use off-camera with my Sony A-100 and my A-57. I have tried it with this SMDV (SAFE SYNC) hot shoe converter and also with several others. It does not work with any of them. I don't know if there may be a voltage incompatibility or what's wrong. It does work well with my old film cameras. The only other flash I have is dedicated to the Sony hot shoe on the camera, and it works fine on both cameras. So, I don't think my problem is the SMDV hot shoe. It may work for you depending on what flash you use it with. I don't know whether it will work with the NEX7 or not.

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.

You would need the hot shoe adapter to plug the cord into it.....Just so you know I bought 3 of these units last year and the plastic base broke in the same spot on all 3 units..it would be a good flash if not for this issue. I now buy the Metz flash

Yes with the ADP-MAA Multi Interface Shoe adapter. Better to buy the HVL-F60M Flash unit.

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
