This is a 'cold' shoe...in other words, there is no power or triggering of the flash available at all. If you will be using a wired or wireless remote to trigger the flash, then, yes....these will work with any flash. In my instance, I am using Saberstrip lights which have no flash mount inside. I have the cold shoe mounted inside the light, then attach a flash to it, and wire it to a remote receiver outside the flash. Then, when the camera triggers the remote the flash fires. I also use a cold shoe for a continuous LED video light. The cold shoe is attached to a mono pod, then the LED light sits on the shoe.

Yes if you intend on mounting this adapter to something like an off camera rig or pole or whatever setup you are looking to do. It is a standard cold shoe so anything that would mount on top of a Canon or Nikon can be mounted on this. Hope that helps.

This camera has a hot shoe which will accept any type of flash. I tried it with a really old Vivitar flash, and it worked. You must however remember a few things: 1. The flash will not work in "silent" mode (it is in the booklet) 2. Usually, the external flash must be enabled from camera menu 3. The hotshoe has more than the standard connecting contact; the other contact points make use of extra electronics in the Fuji flash, possibly to control flash intensity (for fill-up), and maybe for extra flashes used for red eye reduction (as the built-in does)

Unfortunately, this bounce diffuser will only fit on the Canon Speedlite 420EZ & 430EZ, Vivitar 283 & 285 HV, and Precision Design DSLR300 flashes. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

There shouldn't be no problem for them to work together. Those cheap products work on the same channels.The brand of your flash doesn't matter at all actually

It should work wtih any flash as it's adjustable. (just noticed it has been answered already)

It is possible. I have seen others using a bueaty dish with a hot shoe flash but you will have to buy the adapter for the flash seperately.

Should be fine, it simply fits on the flash shoe and allows you to use your old flash units. The old flash units used a higher voltage and this device simply reduces the voltage to a safe level. Should be fine for the t3i.

No it will not work. As per Pixelkings info the hotshoe on the transmitter is for a future transmitter accessory (such as a ratio attachment) and will not trigger a flash when mounted to it.See here under hotshoe:http://www.f64.ro/downloads/Manuale/Pixel/PIXE%20King_PSM3V10.pdf

I am using the safe sync adaptor with a Lumix DMC-FZ200 and Vivitar 285 flash that has been repaired using a metal replacement foot. Since the Vivitar flash is a big, heavy unit, the safe sync adaptor seems a bit weak with the flash directly attached. So I am using a flash bracket and a PC cable between the PC connection on the sync adaptor and the PC connection on the Vivitar foot. It triggers the flash well and provides much more light than the flash in the camera. So far I am pleased with the sync adaptor.

I use it with my Canon 5D and Canon 7D with no problem. It may have been a problem with flash units made years ago but I haven't experienced any problems with the Vivitar 285 I purchased recently. You can get a hot shoe adaptor to plug in the sync cord that is made to supposedly buffer the flash so it won't fry the camera and I used those with my older 285's.

Hello Cellmar, yes, any flash/speedlight with a standard hotshoe will work with this beauty dish, which includes a flash bracket. triggers can be used with it also.

Yes you could do that. Just make sure you turn it on and off quickly to avoid any extra power to the flash adjuster.

I do not know that question I have a 7D. I have only used mine as a reg flash also.

Yes, this set should work with any external flash that connects to a hot-shoe. The only thing it does is send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver which in turn triggers the flash. Just be certain that you flip the small on/off switch on the receiver to on, and the channel switches must have the same settings selected on the transmitter and receiver.

You can use these with just about any flash, but you may need to use an adapter. You can use either of these adapters to allow use of your Metz 50 AF-1 with the PocketWizards: (1) http://flashzebra.com/products/0126/index.shtml or (2) http://flashzebra.com/products/0115/index.shtml

Yes you can. I have a 60D as well and use both flashes and a slave flash to.

It should work. However not sure they sell the Vivitar anymore. I think another company bought it and it is marketed under another name. I am using Vello which works well with the D800.
