I purchased this to hold an external flash on my hot shoe. Is there any adapter I can buy to make this work?

Try a NEEWER LED Flash Light Bracket Hot/Cold Shoe Mount Handle Grip For DSLR Movie Camera DV , Amazon = $2.04. It looks like a vertical hand grip for an umbrella, 5" long, with a shoe at top and a threaded hole in the bottom. Screw the monopod in the bottom and attach the flash unit in the shoe at top.

I would go to Amazon electronics department and punch in the words " adapter for external flash to a tripod or monopod". Somewhere in the accessories for cameras you should find some choices that might work.

You did not indicate the type of camera you are using. I understand what you are trying to accomplish. However, the flash unit has to be attached to the camera hot shoe to receive a electrical response at the moment when the picture is taken. Try attaching the external flash to the camera hot shoe, use the monopod as an extension to raise the camera with flash attached, above the subject. This may require a remote and a adjustable LCD monitor. You will be surprised at the results, appraised by others as to the unique camera angle.

I doubt it because it the Sony flash doesn't use a typical hot shoe attachment. This Sony proprietary shoe requires that the flash be attached to the camera with its built-in thumb screw. Perhaps Sony sells the attachment, but I have not seen nor been offered it.

Yes it works if you purchase a shoe specially made for it because the pin adapter of the flash itself does not work

To be safe you would have to ask the manufacturer of the specific product, but that said, I can tell you that I am using a "safe" adapter between the hot shoe of my Lumix DMC FZ230 and a very old flash unit that is supposed to be too "hot" with no ill effect.

Dear Carlos H:If I'm not mistaken the Hot Shoe Adapter I have is the Seagull SC-5 and it works perfectly on my Sony Alpha 100. I believe, if Sony hasn't changed its hot shoe contact, the Adapter gonna be compactible with the more modern models. The non dedicated flash units I have are the superb Vivitar 285 HV and so far the Adapter has been sailing in placid waters. I only hope the Vivitar units are not too strong for it. May it function as perfectly with all newer Sony models!

Sure, works with any device with standard hot shoe. Supports cameras up to 7.7Kg.

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.

I bought another brand (azden?) to use as an external mic and the shoe did not fit. Instead of clicking it on, we just had to have people hold the receiver. I assume the shoe on this camera only fits the Canon brand ones. Hope that helps!

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

You'll have to get a flash mount for that... out of the box is not possible...

The cords that come with Pocket Wizards will work however you will need a hot shoe adaptor because your flash does not have a cord adaptor to plug into it.

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.

Yes, it comes with adapter and it works well with old flashes (I have few of them).

The hot shoe is only used to position the reflector at its focal point relative to the flash. So, if you can affix it some how at the right spot, it will work. Duct tape? Having said that, refer to Anielkoemar's info, as well.

This speedlight flash mount should work well with any shoe mounted flash. The flash mount is adjustable.It is to be mounted on a camera light stand and hold a wireless speedlight.

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

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.
