Questions & Answers

Iana G : Can I use this for my Nikon D3100 (seeing that it doesn't have the connection) to sync my Novatron V400D lights?THOMAS C : If your Novatrons have a PC connection, then "yes."MICHAEL K : Sorry I don't know anything about your lights, but if you require a PC connection and your camera doesn't have one, this will do the trick.SYLVESTER G : This item will enable you to connect a studio lighting system to sync with your camera -
Shopper : Does it come with the connection cord?BETTINA D : No and that is a problem. The cord that comes with my flash equipment does not make a sug fit with it and when shooting with out the tripod it can slide off easily. Very anoying.JASON G : NoWILLIAM B : No cord.KENNETH A : no, what ever flash you connect requires it's own cord. If this is being used with a digital camera beware that if using an older flash, the type used with film cameras the voltage on these older flashes will damage the camera. Newer flashes used on digital cameras use a much lower trigger voltage. I purchased this to use on Gerlach's hummingbird workshop in British Columbia. They used a three strobe system connected to a single PC cord to stop the wing motion of the humming birds.DANIEL K : no--any synch cord would come with the flash/strobe or would need to be purchased separately
GARY B : Do I need this AS-15 adapter to use a hand held speed light with my D90 and D7100 or will the command function on these cameras fire the speed light when it is hand held?FRANCISCO C : It works perfectly with models from Nikon, connected via a cable. use in all models of the line. very good.MICHAEL K : Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, if you are using a Nikon Flash, you don't need this. Just set your flash to remote on the flash unit and your flash settings on the camera menu to "Command." Make sure that the two are on the same channel. And you're good to go.THOMAS C : This depends upon your speedlight. If it has a PC jack, then you can certainly use it. However, you can test whether the flash fires in command mode at home. Why not try that first? If not and if your flash has the right hookups, then you can get the adapter and a cord.TINA C : You need this to hook a sync cord into if you are not using a wireless device to trip your lights. I don't know about the command function firing the flash sorry.

poor connection

The terminal adaptor fit poorly with my flashpoint sync cable and I need to use tape every time I use it.

Quality-price

Nikon products unfortunately overpriced. But. Quality is the key, this is the reason I ordered from Adorama I been using it and abusing it for several days and still like new (ordered other brand and broke two days after). You will never go wrong with a Nikon original product. And Adorama was the cheapest option.

Works great!

Bought this on a recommendation from an online photo group I belong to. I needed it in order to use my older trusty Sunpak 555 handle-mount flash unit that I had previously used with my Nikon FE2 film camera. It works GREAT!!!!

Without this little gadget, the Flash is little more than a paperweight.

Does the job!

Really simple device that does its job: links your hot shoe to a strobe. Its compact and "plug and play".

Nikon vs the rest

This may be a little more expensive than others but it is worth the extra $$. They last and don't breakdown in the middle of a photo shot.

Now I can use my old studio flashes

I finally made the switch to a digital SLR but found that they don't have PC sync terminal for studio flashes. Since I have Nikon equipment, I was please to find that I could buy a Nikon AS 15 for a very low price so that I could dust off my old studio flashes.

Add simple, reliable, PC connection

I needed a simple, inexpensive way to make use of a studio lighting kit that connects with PC connector with my Nikon D90, which has not PC. The Nikon AS-15 is sturdy, reliable, easy to use, and a great value that will work with your Nikon or other camera with standard hot shoe, but lacking PC connector.

Works great, nice tight fit

This was only a couple more bucks than some of the generic units I had looked at and fit better than some I have tried. Pretty much a no-brainer.

Simple & Easy to Use

Great product, very solid. The only thing I would like them to include is maybe a small pouch for traveling. The shape of the device is a little irregular, so it's a little difficult to travel with.

This gagdet made my day

I use this to hook up my studio lights to my Nikon D100 camera. I first checked the trigger voltage on my studio lights to make sure that it was safe. Then I just put this device on my hot shoe and ran a pc cord from my lights to the camera. I can shoot one light and the other lights all have a photo slave on them so they go off too.

Nifty little gizmo

This little gem makes my studio flash much easier to use. My Canon camera doesn't provide a PC port for off-camera flash, but with the Nikon AS-15, I don't need it. Works flawlessly....inexpensive...my only concern is that the plug is merely slip-fit, and I'm concerned that it will work it's way loose as I continue to use. So far, so good, though.

The Perfect Studio Flash Hot Shoe

I have 2 Nikon D80's that I use these hot shoes with on my On Location Studio Flash work with my Excalibur Studio Flash Units. definitely a mighty little workhorse at a great price. If you are worried about electrical SURGE damage, WEIN makes one with a built in surge protector
