NEX-Proshop creates 'Shadow' ISO hotshoe adapter for NEX

Received it yesterday and tested it today. The unit itself is not flimsy , actually quite a solid piece. Works great triggering my old Minolta 320 flash with the Sony NEX5n via a PC cord (set to Aperture Priority or Manual). The only problem is the screw that tightens the unit to the camera is a bit too short and not slotted, merely a knurled edge. So getting it securely on is not easy or quick. And forget about balancing a flash unit on the Shadow NEX hot-shoe (unless it's small). A large speedlight will loosen the connection to the camera by its weight, again because getting the screw securely tighten remains tenuous. But via a PC cord connection it works great. For me it means being able to use my old flashes with the NEX5n.

Delicate. Everything looks too lightly

is there any way to make this work with the Nex C-3?

Truly, a shooter's delight.

It will not fit on the new nex 7. The nex 7 takes the standard sony hot show that slides on to the camera. There is no place that green thing to fit in. B&H has one for $20 .

This contact looks rather flimsy, anyway. IMO, it should have been created more along the lines of USB instead of having its most sensitive part exposed like his. Whichever accessory is meant to be repeatedly used and removed should be as sturdy as possible.

Could somebody explain the differencies between this $80 adapter and all chiness adapters for $ 16 you can find in ebay? for me ther's no difference at all.

I want one for the Nikon V1... pleeeeaaaassssssse, start making it.......

it's marvelous that sony didn't make this themselves.

I guess dpreview just report product available here, not endorse them.

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Remember, as in 'Don't Forget', what Sony did to the flashes on the F828 and R1.

This is the main reason I did not got Nex.
