Does this have a "hot shoe", IOW electrical contacts in the foot? I want to wire a remote switch to a small flash, trigger by shorting shoe contacts.

Yes it does have a bottom contact ,I bought for my wife for the size ,but I have used it a bunch it's powerful for it's size and the slave flash works really well I would recommend it highly for the price $$$$

No I don't think you can do that. The hot shoe just gives you a simple contact to fire the flash. If you mount an electronic viewfinder on top of it, I am pretty sure it won't have all the contact points needed for the viewfinder. You could mount another flash on top of the hot shoe adaptor, though. But almost certainly not the electronic viewfinder.

No, this is for the old iISO hot shoe, they've since switched to the new multi interface shoe. Sony sells a multi-interface adapter, it's what you need and it will keep TTL metering working. It's part number ADP-MAA.

I don't see why not - like Dominick said, its a standard hot shoe. If you can fire an on camera flash then the answer is yes this will work just fine.

Absolutely not. It doesn't use the hot shoe to communicate to the camera, it uses a proprietary connector below the hot shoe, you can see it in the photo. Because of the geometry of this additional connection, you cannot physically slide it onto a anything other than the cameras it is designed for, and if you could, it still wouldn't flash.

No it won't. I purchased a hot shoe converter (under $12) to connect to my wireless camera transmitter. The hot shoe converter was modified by installing a small push button switch in series with a 1/4 watt 20K resistor to the 2 flash contacts. By removing the transmitter from my camera and attaching it to the flash converter (now with push button), I have a remote flash. Done for under $20. It beats spending over $100-$300 more for a light meter equivalent.

Yes...This little hot shoe has a metal contact at both its bottom and top that allows any brand flashes that has a contact to this hot shoe fire off when camera shut release button is pressed.However, for using your old flash with this hot shoe, your old flash must have a manual output settings. That's being said, you can NOT use the camera's TTL flash control; you have to use manual control to tell it how much light it should be firing off. Good luck, John

The answer is yes and no. Your camera has just one connector on the hot shoe and the EF-20 requires 4 connectors to use its TTL flash capabilities. That said it should fire in manual but only on full power. You need to look for a flash on Amazon that has a sensor built in to take advantage of its capabilities like Metz or Vivitar.

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

Not sure, but would assume so. The transmitter mounts on the hot shoe and sends the signal from the camera to the receiver with the flash mounted on it. Wish I could be of more assistance.

YES!!! It will disable the built in flash even if you will not place the unit in the shoe.... Not worth it...

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

No, that's not correct. It has a cable that connects to the cameras shutter release. The hot shoe is there just for convenience, it has nothing to do with the remote function. The remote function is through the cable from the receiver to camera.

Yes, it will support any hot-shoe flash. Because the mounting for the softbox can be adjusted up and down, it will also work with a flash mounted on a remote trigger or cable

they should work with any hot-shoe flash capability. (and i would not be without ;) )

I am using inexpensive triggers from cowboy studio. The trigger should be universal to fit in this hot shoe adapter and the receiver will depend on the brand/mount of your flash.Take a look on these links:CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver)http://www.cowboystudio.com/category_s/460.htm

Can't say for sure, but I suspect not. I've looked at the circuit and it's somewhat unconventional for footswitches, at least the ones I'm aware of.
