Nice shots .

I agree about the flash.

About the largest thing that feels OK mounted on the hot shoe is a flash trigger.

To carry a large flash with the M6II I have to use it mounted on a bracket on the left side with a handle and trigger it with the built in flash so I can still use the viewfinder.

Crazy looking rig but powerful.

If the flash feels too big the mounted lens is too small. With the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on the adapter a big flash is no problem, as the lens acts as a grip.

No viewfinder in these cases is - in my opinion - a bigger issue, however, that's discussed before......

I am thinking my big flash could easily bust that camera hot shoe off ?

Have not seen a M6II tear down but have seen other  M camera tear downs and

I am not mounting a large flash on it.

That and I need a viewfinder outside in the sun and use fill flash a lot.
