5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it supposed to do., October 10, 2008

By	Qatar illumination - See all my reviews

I've used it with two canon 580ex flash and triggered them using Elinchrom skyport system, I must say the hot shoe fits perfectly and the flashes are triggered each time I use them,, this is the best solution if you have Elinchrom flashes with skyport system and you need to add a small flash to the image.

Very strong build and I do recommend it to a friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, could be a lot worse, February 27, 2009

By	Conway Yen (Orange, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this adapter to attach my dedicated strobe to a PocketWizard Plus II. The minijack portion works fine, but the hotshoe female end seems to be a bit of a snug fit for the hotshoe male end of my strobes. I have heard that this is easily remedied by gently bending the metal bracket on the hotshoe female end with a pair of needle nosed pliers, but I haven't tried to do so yet. Although it is a tight fit, I can rest easy, knowing that my significantly more expensive flash head won't slip off of the adapter. Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say about this product (except for the price!), since it works exactly as it is supposed to.

For Canon users and other photographers, there are now two very elegant and functional ways to connect your strobes to your PocketWizards which do not require a PC port, adapter, or anything. The new PocketWizard FlexTT5 and MiniTT1 attach to any female hot shoe and also have female hot shoes mounted on top with fully functional TTL connections to your dedicated flashes -- just another way to light off-camera.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paraomunt hot shoe to miniphone cord failed, September 18, 2008

By	Vladyslav Dovhopiat - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently bought the Paraomunt hot shoe to miniphone cord to use my canon 430ex flash with a PocketWizard. This cord represent one of a few solutions to connect these two pieces of equipment.
I was terribly disappointed but the cord failed to work. I took me one hour to find the problem - the hot shoe mount of the cord was wery loose and I had to insert a couple of metal pins betwen the contacts of the cord and the flash so that it would work. I was also surprised to find that it is very cheaply built. In a few words this cord is piece of s...
