It adds a PC sync socket to cameras that only have a hot shoe and makes it possible to use a much larger selection of flash units with a variety of cameras, not just Nikon.

While it does not do TTL, most flash units can use their automatic sensors to meter output.

Used it extensively with a Nikon Coolpix 5000 and newer Vivitar 285 and 283 flash units. Also tested it with a Canon Rebel.

Please note:
Make sure you test your flash's trigger voltage if using something not recommended for your camera, digital or not.

If you have a camera that uses iTTL, like the Nikon D70s, you pretty much have to get one of the iTTL flash units.

While it does not regulate voltage for use with older strobes it works very well with modern strobes. It also works with any camera with a hot shoe mount. It is not brand specific.

If you need to add a Sync terminal to a camera that does not have one built in, this device is money well spent.

I purchased the Nikon (AS-15) in order to be able to fire an off camera strobe with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel 400d (Xti)... It works perfectly since the strobe I'm using has got a safe sync voltage (5V) for digital cameras so I didn't need to go for the more expensive adapters which have built-in voltage protection...

I needed this because my camera does not have a PC sync outlet...

I tried it and it works just fine...

I was so happy to find out that a product like this exists! It's exactly what I needed to connect my old Sunpak flashes to my new Nikon D60, and it works like a charm! It's a great price, too, even for the name brand, which, I've read, is worth the little extra.

This adapter is only for other low voltage Nikon flashes and won't allow you to use other higher voltage flashes such as Vivitar or any of the common smaller studio lights. For that buy an adapter from Wein.

This adapter was bought to replace one that is (apparently) a non genuine adapter. The previous adapter could slide on from both ends. Consequently, I was sliding on the adapter incorrectly for years. This new adapter can only be mounted on, one way therefore even a novice (like me) could not make a mistake. Good product.

The Nikon sync terminal works fine and is as described. It arrived quickly from Adoramma with one suprise. They sent me 2 instead of 1. I guess I have a back up...

Good price and delvery from amazon.com. I have not had an opportunity to used the terminal so I can't rate the device yet.

I had this gizmo for almost ten years and has worked with all my canon cameras. The only reason I give it 4 stars is due to the price

I am using this product with a Canon Rebel t1i (500d). It fits into the hot shoe port and the PC sync cable plugs right in. I am using it with Westcott Strobelites.
