Does not work with Fuji HS-10. Not sure why. Camera has a hot shoe, but with device in place, it will not fire an external flash.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Hot Shoe to PC Adapter, Single Outlet without Connecting Cord.:

Have to have this to use studio lighting, along with the sync cord to connect the lights. Hard to tighten down on the camera end, sync cord is not real snug so falls off easily. Does work if you are careful tho, I've seen others tape the sync cord in place but would rather it fall off if tripped over than tip the camera tripod. The part works, and is a must have for any lighting larger than the camera flash.

Never worked
By Studio Photo from NY on 4/7/2009

Comments about Adorama Adorama Hot Shoe to PC Adapter, Single Outlet without Connecting Cord.:

Tried to use on a D80 to connect to white lightning and elinchrome strobes via PC chord. Not only was the placement in the D80 hotshoe an exceedingly tight fit, but the PC cable connection basically couldn't fit into the input on the PC adapter. After making the connection, I never was able to get the strobes to fire from the D80.

I purchased this device to hold a GPS unit; an AMOD3080. I removed the top metal hot shoe piece and super glued the AMOD3080's battery cover directly to the unit. Works great ... looks factory made.
