JJC off-camera flash cord

Hi,

I got one of these for my NX300 after reading a positive review here, but I can't get it to work . The one I got is an older model that's supposed to work with NX300. There are two issues as far as I can see:

* hot shoe socket where the flash goes doesn't seem to be very precisely made (surprise, surprise), so it take an enormous amount of force to get the flash in and out.

* the camera doesn't recognize that flash is installed, so there's no way to fire it.

Anyone else tried this cord? Am I missing anything?

Btw, I'm using the tiny flash that came with the camera. It works fine when mounted directly.

Thanks,

Bane
