Honey it doesn't connect. It's a slave. Pop up your flash on your camera or connect your hotshoe to your camera. Turn both on. And shoot. This baby will pick up a flash from behind your back even. I tried it lol it's very sensitive! I love mine! Matter of fact IM gonna order another right now while IM thinking about it! find me on Facebook if you need to talk more.

For you: The connector on the side of the flash is 3.5mm I believe. If you have a sync chord and the connector is the wrong size - just bring the strobe to radio shack and get a adapter.I think the standard sizes are 5mm and 3.5mmGeneric answer: Two ways to connect. One - just use the flash on your camera - this will "slave flash" and fire as a response to your own flash. Second method it to use a sync cable. If your camera doesn't have it [a flash sync connector] built in - you can use: Pixel TF-321 Pixel e-TTL Flash Hot Shoe to Pc Adapter for Canon DSLRs and Flashguns (That one is for canon - a non TTL one is "universal" is Seagull JSC-2 Flash Hot Shoe Adapter with PC Sync Socket ) For you: The connector on the side of the flash is 3.5mm I believe.

linda it really matters if your 12ft sync cord has a pc connection on the other side of the cable if so the pc end goes into your hot shoe adapter and the 3.5 goes into the light. but honestly that 3.5 inch receptacle on the lignt is not made very well and will misfire if the cord is moved at all. i have had the most success with the photo slave triggering of the light. the unit is slow to recycle, but will fire perfectly once other flashes in the area are also firing. no need to connect to your camera.

There is an attached manual for this, what setting on this unit (not my camera or flash) you recommend setting this on?

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

On my camera, there is a little flap that covers the equivalent of the 'hot shoe'. If you pry it up, you'll see where it interfaces with the camera. I hope this helps!

Howdy John, It appears you are looking for a replacement for the STV-250N Mini Plug to RCA that is used by the Canon DC210 camcorder. Looking at them both, they both seem to be standard adapters. Be aware, this adapter is for attaching a camcorder to a TV or VCR, not a PC. I do not own a Canon DC210 myself, but if you have an adapter for your PC that uses accepts standard RCA input, it should work, otherwise, I would say no. I hope this helps.

Haven't tried a canon, but the connection is a standard 3.5mm plug like you would use for computer input.

The adapter must be plugged into a squarish port on Nikon DSLR cameras called an "accessory port", the same port used by the Nikon GP-1 hot-shoe GPS (Promote Systems also makes a similar hot-shoe GPS). If you don't want to use the hotshoe setup you buy this device which can communicate with at least two GPS trackers I am aware of, QStars and Holux connecting via Bluetooth. There are now DSLR's coming out that have internal GPS but this is the setup you need if you have a DSLR from Nikon or Canon manufactured in the past five or six years. It will not work with any smartphone GPS I am aware of.

This device is merely an adapter in order to have a PC connection on Canon cameras that do not have the PC connector built in. In my opinion, if you have an expensive camera body - let's say $2,500 - it is just not worth risking damaging it by using a flash unit that is more than 30 years old. I have thrown out my 283's even though they have served me well for a long time. They are not worth the risk to our camera bodies, in my opinion.

Hey Billy, the cable is just long enough to reach from your hot shoe to your mic connect.Beware of bad hum issue with the mic; I tried it on my 5D MKiii, really bad! I had to return it.

It can work without the hot shoe. That is how I use it with my Rebel T3i. I just hang it from a carabiner on my backpack. Make sure your time stamp is correct with GMT and then the pictures will sync by the time stamp using the included software. Fiddly but it works.

Probably not. This cable is for a standard printer USB hook-up. Most of my cameras and devises use either a mini USB or a micro USB cable. Google some pictures of mini USB and micro USB cables and see if you can find the one that looks like it would fit your camera. Fortunately, these connectors are pretty standard now. So you may find it relatively easy. Mediabridge will likely make the cable that you are looking for. Their cables are of good quality. I hope this information helps.

It is connected on the top of the camera. Your camera must have a hot shoe for that.

I believe it's a microB usb on the camera end to a standard usb. I'd use a standard usb extension cable as suggested though. The cable that came with my camera is 2' long.

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.

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.

Yes, this adapter will work with your camera. It's a bit fiddly to hook-up, otherwise it's good.

It's a different cable. This one only fits EOS rebel canons. I needed a separate one for my 7D as well.

I don't know. I don't have a Canon camera. I think the hot shoe socket is a standard, though.

They make an addon mic that mounts on the hotshoe and plugs into a jack on the side of the camera. You should be able to use that port for your purpose.
