Adorama Camera PC to Hot Shoe Adapter with Connecting Cord.
From Adorama

For cameras with a PC outlet but no "Hot" shoe. Can also be used to use the flash off camera. Cord is about 7 inches long.


Necessary with Many Flashes & PocketWizard3
If you're going to buy this flash hot-shoe to PC cord adapter, chances are you will need the Pocket Wizard 804-605 MPCF Miniphone Male to PC Female Adapter. I've added this to my review because it's not easy to find on Amazon's site when searching. In fact, it's not easy to find at any photography store or photography site. I wish that made one of these hot-shoe adapters with a miniphone connector on the end of the cord instead.

So, to make that work, you need this adapter. They make an adapter with multiple inputs, multiple possibilities (e.g., PC female, PC male, etc.), but it doesn't connect as firmly as this one. I bought one of these about nine months ago and just ordered another because sometimes I want two and because sometimes I worry that I'll lose this little thing. I can't find that anywhere else.


By the way, I agree with the other reviewers I see here that say the cord is flimsy. The shielding come loose from near the base of the hot-shoe pretty easily and quickly. So, try to handle it carefully--don't tug on it. Based on the poor quality, I would say buy something else, but there's nothing else. Other adapters don't have that separate center point for some reason and short out the flash. So, buy this hot-shoe adapter if you need it and get an extra one while you're at it.

Works well5
It works well. No problems. I use it to get three point lighting with cheap slave flashes. I just connect a pc cable to my camera using this and a hot shoe to pc adapter and trigger the first flash. This triggers two more cheap slave flashes. So I have 3 point lighting with a minimum cost.

Very usefull accesory4
I use it as adaptor for my radio trigger and works great. Construction quality is not the best.
