Looks like just what I am looking for BUT- HOW DOES THE EXTERNAL HOT SHOE CONNECT TO THE HOT SHOE ON THE DIGICAM??? (i USE THAT ONE FOR A VIEWFINDER).

I use this with a sync cord that connects an external flash to my digital camera body.

You are going to need either a cord http://www.amazon.com/Canon-OC-E3-Camera-Shoe-Cord/dp/B000OEP3F4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1370724162&sr;=8-5&keywords;=canon+external+flash+cord or a wireless solution. Something like this Yongnuo RF-602 2.4GHz Wireless Remote Flash Synchronized Trigger for Canon 580EX II, 580EX, 540EZ, 520EZ, 430EZ, 430EX, 420EX, 420EZ, 380EX CamerasI got both. Both do the job. Cord is a bit more reliable because wireless might get interference once in a while.

Sorry, not sure what a hot shoe is... It does have a screw mount for mounting on tri-pods, etc...

Well, a hot shoe is a hot shoe. It probably won't look right, or maybe not fit perfectly, but in a bind it should cover the contacts. Which is what it's intended to do. Why not just spend $2 and get one from Sony?

This needs to be addressed with Sony . The unit works with the new Hot Shoe Configuration !

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.

Hi Joshua, The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera. Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work. Cheers Rene

It is not a hot shoe. It is a cold shoe. This does not connect directly to the camera in any way in order to fire the flash. It is made from hard plastic modeled after the better metal version. The thumbscrew that tight the flash base gripper screws into plastic and strips out after the first few times you use it. Avoid getting this and by the metal one.

A hot shoe is the bracket-like thing on the top of the camera where you can put a flash attachment. Since the hot is called "hot" because there are contacts there that can become fouled, there is a small cover supplied with each camera that will cover the contacts when a flash is not in use. Of course we all lose that little thing about three microseconds after we open up a new camera.

A good quality electronic view finder can be purchased seperately. It slides into the hot shoe.

I'm not familiar with the hotshoe on the a5100,does it have the funky Minolta style shoe, or does it look like a normal Canon style? If it looks like the Canon style the adaptor won't work.

The mount slides into the hot shoe as though it was an external flash, very simple....

No. There is no hot shoe to attach anything to. That's what makes it compact. You sacrifice the viewfinder for the size and weight. No viewfinder = no mirror, hence DSLM (mirrorless). Other than that, it has the same features as a larger, heavier, DSLR. The screen is a touchscreen which is great when changing settings and using the auto-focus.

Im not familiar with that camera but there is both mounts by Youngnuo for Sony. If your hot shoe is the Minolta shoe mount it'll be all plastic and if it's the traditional hotshoe mount it'll be metal at the base.

Yes, for me it comes out of either the hot shoe or the flash. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure how exactly it was switched and it might depend on the flash and the body for how to set that.

do you mean the pop-up (built in) flash or a hot shoe mounted flash?, and of course you can't use the Hot shoe mount... Because the mic is mounted there! if the Hot-shoe mount is used for a flash, then the mic must be used remotely....

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
