Hi @daveco2,

Any chance you produce these for sale or aware of anyone else making them?

Cheers

I made the connector only after I was able to identify a transmitter.  So, I would say the transmitter comes first.  I tried a number of them.  Some wouldn't fit between the hot shoe and case, and others didn't have enough intensity to trigger the Z330.  I finally wound up with a custom, one-off unit from a fellow in New Zealand.  It's trigger only, no TTL.  That was a couple of years ago.  Things may have changed.

I finally bought the UW Technics unit for its TTL.  Since then, I've determined that I can operate manually, which many others suggested as a preferred approach.

If you have a transmitter, you could email Pavel at UW Technics and ask if he'll sell the bulkhead connector only.  Or go for the expense of their unit.  Let me know if none of the above work.
