Questions & Answers
Shopper : Will this work with Minolta/Sony flashes?KEN S : I can't really answer your question. I can say it does work with my canon and an old Vivitar 2800D Nikon flash first hand.
I think the minolta/Sony flashes require a reversed mount - male and female are switched. I have seen mount adapters but.....
I'm sure a Sony shooter could tell you exactly.
Adorama costumer service should know also.
Anyhow best
KDSJOSEPH S : I picked a few of these up for Nikon sb900 speedlights , sb900's are known for being a tough fit in most cold shoes , these Frio units work perfectly . I cant imagine any standard speelight not fitting in these cold shoes.RONN T : Im pretty sure flash shoe sizes are univeral. even with my canon flashes this is loose.. until I tighten the flash onto it. So if your flashes can be locked or tightened in any way. I would say they more than likely would work.MIKAEL O : Though I am not familiar with Minolta/Sony flashes, the flash shoes on any flash is standard, so it should work. The problems occur only when you are looking for a HOT shoe, in which case you need to make sure the pin configuration works, but that is not the case here.
In fact, the Frio is better than other coldshoes, because there is no risk of it shorting your flash, since plastic is not conductive.
It's also safer than the traditional cold shoes, since it locks the flash in place. I've had flashes fall out of cold shoes that I though were fully tightened - that doesn't happen with Frio.
You can't go wrong with these - I've got five of them and I love them.NIEVES G : I use it with Canon flashes. According to manufacturer information, it works with almost all flashes on market.STU F : Should work with any flash with a standard size shoe.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DARREN M : These are the perfect addition to any lightstand/umbrella mount/ or replacement for the cold shoe on a Justin Clamp.KENNETH S : Simplifies attaching a hot-shoe mount flash to a tripod without shorting out the unit.
