How can this work? At least on Canon, there is a switch under the metal hotshoe rail that turns off flash when something is in the hot shoe...

I have a Canon that this works terrific on. Not sure of my model, but I went on what they said, there was one Canon model number it didn't work on, it sure wasn't mine.

Can't answer about the Canon, I use a Pentax K-30....and with my camera, the Puffer works fantastic...I never leave home without it...it does everything that it claims!

I have a Nikon D300s and it works fine on that. I am not sure about the Canon, but if it helps, the section that slides into the hotshoe has a gap in the centre of it, perhaps this is designed to bypass the switch?

There is a small button just below where the flash is housed that you press to pop it out and activate flash, I assume once its up it will continue to use flash as needed until you press it back down. Personally I like this feature since I prefer natural light photography.

The hot shoe is only used to position the reflector at its focal point relative to the flash. So, if you can affix it some how at the right spot, it will work. Duct tape? Having said that, refer to Anielkoemar's info, as well.

Make sure that its seated deeply in the hotshoe.. it will go out, but depending on the flash mode in settings, it has a modeling light which is constantly on.. otherwise, it goes out and will light up for focus assist in darker areas.. hope this helps..

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

No. You either have something on the hotshoe or have the pop-up flash up. Even if you popped it with something on the hot shoe it will not function.

This unit has only one contact for the hot shoe. It will fire when you press the shutter. On my 350D, it was not detected as a flash. When taking a test picture indoors, the flash fired but the shutter stayed open a long time indicating the camera was getting its exposure with ambient light. If you switch the unit to Constant On, then it is just a light source and your camera will adjust the exposure according to the light available at the moment of exposure. Hope this helps.

don't know. i don't have a canon, but it should it just screw into the bottom of the camera and use the hot shoe cable to connect flash off camera. I don't think the cable came with it. I had ti

It slides into the hot shoe of the camera. It is made specifically for the on camera flash.

I use Nikon but when I attach a flash to my hot shoe, I plug the transmitter into my Nikon flash via the pc synch cord. When I click, my on camera flash flashes and it activates the transmitter to set off any studio flashes that I have connected. All in synch with my shutter. I don't have a way to plug a receiver into my Nikon flash to be activated by a transmitter attached to my hot shoe.

Absolutely not. It doesn't use the hot shoe to communicate to the camera, it uses a proprietary connector below the hot shoe, you can see it in the photo. Because of the geometry of this additional connection, you cannot physically slide it onto a anything other than the cameras it is designed for, and if you could, it still wouldn't flash.

On my camera, there is a little flap that covers the equivalent of the 'hot shoe'. If you pry it up, you'll see where it interfaces with the camera. I hope this helps!

Honey it doesn't connect. It's a slave. Pop up your flash on your camera or connect your hotshoe to your camera. Turn both on. And shoot. This baby will pick up a flash from behind your back even. I tried it lol it's very sensitive! I love mine! Matter of fact IM gonna order another right now while IM thinking about it! find me on Facebook if you need to talk more.

It wasn't designed to work with Hot Shoe 2 cord, but you can purchase a cheap set of radio slaves like I did. Put one on the camera and one on the flash and Ta Da! Without the cord you will have to shoot in manual mode, but it's not a biggie. Not sure what you're shooting, but I just started shooting with it on the camera using a Gary Fong light dome modifier and bouncing it off the ceiling. Exposures come out great!

I doubt it because it the Sony flash doesn't use a typical hot shoe attachment. This Sony proprietary shoe requires that the flash be attached to the camera with its built-in thumb screw. Perhaps Sony sells the attachment, but I have not seen nor been offered it.

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.
