I just ordered this light and it came in today. I have a Canon t4i and it won't fit on the top of my camera or my cam caddie shoe.Am I doing it wrong?

Did u loosen the rounded thing where the mount is? U have to turn it to loosen and then slide the light into the mound on your camera and then twist it back down to tighten again.

Im not going to be much help here im afraid. I know nothing about your particular camera model. What I can tell you is this, the screw is a standard tripod size and thread. It should thread right in. Now, as for the adapter, that will be needed only if your camera is heavier on one side or the other or front or back. Or if your tripod mounting hole isnt very near the center of the cameras balance point. Not sure im explaining it correctly here, but I can tell you my camera has an "offset" tripod mount, therefore I needed the adaptor. Im sure someone will be along to help you better. Its a great little device! Good luck! Im not going to be much help here im afraid. I know nothing about your particular camera model.

Gosh. I have a canon speed light that I use this on. It is sturdy, way better than the one that came with my flash. Do they make one for the Nikon?

I have a t4i. So far I can't get my pop up flash to engage with the lightscoop. Hoping there is some type of setting I can change. But most likely not gonna happen. Bummer...

I did not have any problem to fit my camera to the case, but it felt a Little bit like putting it backwards on. If you describe a little more in detail about where it is not fitting I might be able to better help you.

I bought this for a cannon 6d and ended up returning. Not only could I not use cable release, but it just didn't fit right and was poor design. (At least for my camera). I am still looking for one that will work. Regards - jtbaskinphoto

Not snug. A telephoto will fit. I added a strap to hold two spare batteries for my T4i. It's not GROSS overspace.

I use the same one on my HFG10. For some reason, Canon decided to go with this smaller hot shoe. The rest of the world (Nikon, etc) use the standard size. This is just a holder. There's no electrical connection.

Sorry but I can't help. I ordered one for my Canon XSi and it didn't fit so I had to return it. Built my own L bracket for a lot less and it works on 2 different bodies just great.

Purchase a hot shoe that can screw onto the mic if the mic has a spot for it. The mic I have has a "hotshoe" so it slides right into the bracket as does my constant light. Definitely works. I use it often since I have a T3I so I don't use the built in mic (too loud).

this light uses the Sony multi-interface shoe. If your camera doesn't have that shoe built-in it might be possible to find an adapter that would go from the old sony shoe to the MI or multi-interface shoe

I've tried it on my Canon T4i. When I insert it fully into the hot shoe, the camera disables the popup flash. I can get it to work by partially inserting it, but it's kind of fiddly. There might be a setting on the camera somewhere that will change this. As it is, I would say it partially works.

I think this light will fit any camera, it is not camera dependent, you will get a ring that fits the lens ID threads at its end, the kit comes with several rings so it could fit several cameras or I should say lenses. I am using this light for every close up picture I take. I use rechargeable batteries and they work very well. In my case, I turn the light on and let the camera pick the settings, you should be able to over ride it if you have to. I am very happy with the light. I red some place I could make my own, for the time you buy the components and invest your time, you cannot come close to what your get from this light for its price. Good luck

Sorry about delay. Te flash on my nikon D3100 measures from top of shoe to top of flash approximately 1".These diffuser, when mounted have additional mounting holes to move the diffuser in relation to the flash. There is, I believe, sufficient room for adjustment to get your flash bar close to center. If this makes sense there is one more Jin you should know. My set required "machining" 1)small amount of filing to fit the slide to the flash shoe plate and re drill of the holes For bracket to fit (slightly undersized-to tight- to fit the bracket. Neither of these item proved difficult.Hope this has helped. Sorry about delay.

Yes, it will fit, but the light does not have an electrical connection to the hot shoe so it will also fit a cold shoe. The light is not a "flash." It is a constant light with its own battery source and does not communicate with a camera at all.

I have Profoto monolights, and it fits over the front of the reflectors. I have both styles of Profoto reflectors, and either works.
