omg, I have been playing with this on and off, for weeks. I was about to give up searching because no one mentioned "what if flash is not working" I bought the a6000 a couple months back (still has great reviews), but my flash would not work. Seven years later and your video is still helping people!!! 💯👋

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I bought a Sony A7 in Oct 2019 and my nephew bought me a Neewer Speedlite 750II but for a NIKON. I used your suggestion and it works. I tried it in TTL on the flash and Auto with fill-flash and red eye reduction on the camera and it worked. Great now I don't need to exchange the flash or buy a flash mount adapter between Nikon and Sony MI hot shoe. I only started to trouble shoot this miss match and found your video in 15 minutes. A miracle. Thanks Lavikka.

[@shellmaker10]

You are not the only one on KZbin to say that Yongnuo didn't work but you are the first to find the reason. Thanks.

[@sdgoes99]

Good job Dave, I have been searching for a long time for a answer to this question. And I don't remember anyone explaining the issue this way. a Major attaboy to you. Thanks, Steve

[@JosephFerricags]

Lavikka, you just made my life a whole lot easier - thank you. I use the Yongnuo 560 IV's with the YN560-TX wireless transmitter and you approach works equally well with that. Great Post.

[@manuelathomas4948]

Hey so thankful that you made the video! I'm struggling since years with my yongnuo triggers and today it worked the first time!! So happy !!

[@overseastom]

Dude, you're awesome. Thanks so much for figuring this out, and letting us all know. It's a bit crazy that it's a problem in the first place, but I'm psyched you got it sussed for us!

[@michaelyap7560]

G'day David, my hats off to you! You are man enough to speak the truth. I admire your courage and am a fan of yours. Good on ya! Mike

[@tgchism]

Thanks for the update and allowing us to learn from your experiences!

[@victorrivera6375]

I want to thank you. watched this video, got my Sony a6000 and yongnuo triggers, adjusted the pin and Wow!it worked like a charm. it's in manual but that's fine. you saved me from getting additional gear, thanks a million.

[@K4kaShiii]

Thank you!! I can confirm it works for me as well. yn560 IV with a6000. Also I didnt need to scratch off the hot shoe mount like what you did. I always wondered why it wasn't a problem with my a7 but never worked with my a6000. Anyway, I also tried the same technique to try and make the yn560 IV flash to work with the RX100 II.. still doesn't work though.. (I know the flash is bigger than the camera but I wanted to have fun)

[@TomSmithArt]

Glad you've sorted that problem. I have seen people going on about taking the paint off and never understood why they was doing this. I'm like I have the setup and they work perfectly fine together why are people doing this haha

[@AvantiprodsClient]

Thank you so much you save me a ton of $$$. From one photographer to another, you're the best!

[@ungavaproductions]

You're certainly not stupid but very bright to bring this this to us. Thanks to share. Guys like you help everyone

[@Deatarus51]

Dude, thank you so much for this. I was actually worried I was gonna break my new A7 III with a Nikon SU-800 wireless trigger last night so I stopped. I'm gonna try again tonight with this information to see if it works.

[@pl3xuz3]

2019 and i still can say, David you are genius. Thanks man :)

[@younggotribe]

great video. Super helpful as I'm trying to decide which flash to buy for my a7ii

[@EmilNaydenov]

Just wanted to add to this video that in addition to that pin falling in the correct spot you MUST use some thing sharp or sand paper to file the INSIDE OF THE MOUNT!!! I just got my YN560IV and it DID NOT WORK! even with the pin locked in. I scratched the inside of the shoe where the flash slides in to and it started working immediately. Thanks for not giving up on this issue and helping us all out Lavikka Photography! Keep up the good work. BTW I bought the Sigma 60mm because of you and it does not stop to impress me, I have compared it to a 135mm f2L canon on a 6D body and to other much much much more expansive lenses and the quality of that $200 lens... well it should be illegal for it to be so damn sharp for that price hahahha. Thanks again!!

[@alvaromayorga]

October 2019 and I just watched this video, I almost sent my sony to the shop haha thank you very much mate

[@FemmedeStone]

Thanks so much for sharing what you learned. It takes a special sort of person to admit where they went wrong and to share what you figured out to save the rest of us from "OE" is fabulous.

[@albarber6791]

Eagerly awaiting your review of the Nissin Di700A and Air 1 commander. I have mine and so far I'm delighted with it though I did find the quick start instructions anything but clear. However I got it in the end and it seems to work fine now including HSS mode. Setting the camera to wireless mode needs the commander to be installed on the camera but the camera will revert to the fill flash setting when it's not on the camera.

[@neeldesai5]

Thank you very much for this!!! Also, what transmitter are you using?

[@shawnshing614]

Thank you for lets us know and you are absolutely put in a lot of afford in that. So one words "awesome " Sincerely Thank you

[@samseelam]

Great video - you rock! I was struggling with Youngnuo trigger YN-622N-TX (youngnuo flash yn568exworked on A6000 right out of the bx)- untill i saw your this video with lockign pin issue that come down when screwed on - the whole set up works now - Thank you so much!!

[@bobbytimonera3390]

Thanks for this video! For a while my Godox TT350s, dedicated for Sony, was not firing consistently when I use an inverted lens for macro on the a6000. I ended up putting a masking tape at the tip of the flash's foot, but over time the masking tape gets damage. Because of this video, I'm now using the Canon-dedicated TT350c for my a6000, as long I'm just careful not to push it too much on the hotshoe. Now fires consistently.

[@manuelvillarreal5764]

Wow let me check this with my flashes :D thanks for your video!

[@jkspinalchoice]

You are awesome! I have been so frustrated, and after I watched this.... BANG!!!! Thank you!!

[@israellsantos]

Would be nice if you link this video in the beginning of the other videos about this problem. I almost scraped all the paint of my hot shoe with no reason. Thankfully, i've found this video that. Anyway... Thanks for this video.

[@niwa_weather]

Thank you for this. This fixed issue with Godox Xpros trigger and HSS. Champ.

[@MazliAlias]

OMG...been scratching myself looking for answers for this issue. Tq!

[@gj677]

I'm going down to sony's shop to test out the flashes! Thumbs up! I subscribed to you!

[@gj677]

+John Cloud ah shyt. The yn-e3-rt doesn't work on a7ii and it doesn't trigger yn600exrt. It left scratches on my a7ii hotshoe. Forget it, i am just gonna get one that fits nicely on a7ii. thanks a lot!

[@T-Slider]

Nice report. Thanks. I too am awaiting my order for Nissin's 700.

[@LadyImperatrix]

Well, thanks again. :) This is VERY helpful!

[@TopMonk7]

I have the Yongnuo 568EX Flash (Nikon version) and the Yongnuo RF603N II Flash Triggers and they both worked great on the Sony A6000 hot shoe without any modifications to the hot shoe. The only thing I had to do was lower the lock a little on the flash and/or trigger before pushing them onto the hot shoe and to not push them in all the way onto the hot shoe--like you said. Worked great. Thanks !!

[@RazorTwelve]

+Sean Saldan Thanks for sharing your setup. I have yn568ii Flash Nikon Version and that's the same technique i'm doing every time i use yn568ii without sanding the hotshoe. Will RF603n work for my YN568ii? I'm about to buy yn622 tomorrow.

[@MrDudedb]

+Sean Saldan Hi Sean. How did you set it to wireless flash in the settings? Mine is still greyed out

[@soumen8388]

+Top Monk I am about to buy the same setup as you. have you faced any issues since posting your comment? and how is the HSS performance. thanks.

[@ombrevisual]

was the flash canon version or the nikon version ( the yongnou 560 III ) that you used in the video? and same question about the trigger ( yongnuo rf 603 II ).. thanks..

The strange thing is, that this applies at least to the Alpha 6000. On my Alpha 7 the problem does not occur. When just sliding any flash or remote controller fully into the multi interface shoe everthing works fine. One the Alpha 6000 I have to move it back a little bit.

[@rhondamoore9842]

Thank you for making this "mistake." If you hadn't talked about this, I would not have figured out that my transmitter was not connecting to the shoe correctly. Everything is working now!

[@j.badinter988]

Thank you for your humble statement.... The thing to remember is when we install a flash or a transmitter int the hot shoe we should hear the click of the pin going down into the hole, if we don't, contacts might be compromised.

[@DaveyD4419]

love the videos, very helpful. what camera did you use to record this video?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

DaveyD4419 It was recorded on the a6000.

[@sjsphotog]

Canon 320 EX seems to be a good choice if you want to get a compact and bounceable on camera flash for the a6000 that works for me every time with NO issues even with the hotshoe painted black as it is on mine. Only think I did was slightly sand the underside of the hotshoe rails previously based on your 1st two videos but never got around to sanding the hotshoe all the way.

[@themobileman4287]

Thanks for pointing this valuable info out! Most appreciated....and good on you for publicly correcting yourself.

[@michaelstelmasek9159]

Hi great video... What setup would you recommend for HHS with the a6000? Also when using the Nikon and canon flashes are you able to go into TTL and get it to work?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+Michael Stelmasek No on the TTL. that's camera specific. and the Di700a is the preferred right now and it will give you ttl.

[@leeleslee6247]

Hi all member, I've purchased the godox x1t-S and X1r-S for my Sony but one problem is when I attach the transmitter to the hot shoe all the way in and locked it, it wouldn't fire the flash, but when the transmitter was placed in between the pin, it would only fire the flash. I don't know what is the problem with this. Please help me. And also the buttons wouldn't work as well if the transmitter was attached all the way in. But it work if it was attached half way. Please share some tips if you have the same problem as well thanks.

[@nicPesante]

Wow, thanks! I just got an a3000 and Yongnuo flash, haven't had time to play with the flash yet though. This is going to save me some headaches.

[@merihim666]

hi, what radio transmiter can u recommend? Does any non sony brand will work in sony a7ii? What transmitter did you use here in video?

[@sammesamme-nlar2829]

Now i am getting it. I was already regretting buying a sony due to all these complex routes. Hopefully, you could do a video tutorial next on how to mount these these yn560s and 560-tx in a studio situation, then how they can best work whether manual or ttl modes. Talking of ttl, that is one other tricky topic, thanks.

[@oscarm4154]

Thank you info just in time for me :) just ordered the Youngnuo 560-TX & a couple of 560III´s for my A7S thx for all the SONY Flash updates. cheers´

[@RomanTG]

Just took your advice with my Sony A7rii with a TT850. Thank you!

[@floriankomorowski7074]

What adapter would I need for a Sony a77ii if I have a Yongnuo 560III speedlite, since it has a different hot shoe?

[@pappalove]

i recently purchased the Yongnuo 622n tx (for nikon) thinking it would work with my a7mk2 and sb700. Unfortunately i had no success and sent it back. Is this issue the reason why it didn't work? If not, what trigger setup would you recommend

[@davidkmillerphotography]

Have you tried using the Youngno YN-622 trigger for Canon on a Sony? I bought a couple Youngnuo speedlights that are made for canon as well as a Photttix Strato and they popped off every time. The reason I ask is I just bought a strobe that supports HSS and I can't find a trigger for it and I refuse to "go backward" like you said on the adapters and all when I'm already doing that with my Phottix Strato because it is the Minolta hotshoe and it's frustrating every time I'm doing a photo shot that I have this transformer of a set up.

[@sammesamme-nlar2829]

Very pleased with your review of nissin i40. I wonder if you have tried the neewer mk320 or mk300, thanks.

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+Samme Samme-nlar No Sorry. Those flashes are terrible. 6 second plus recycle times and no HSS. Meaning you can't shoot over 160th of a sec.

[@DogzDinette]

Found your video thru someone linking from one of the "paint scraper" vids. I just bought an A6000 and have been working out my flash options using pocket wizards, Vivitar 285, Canon flashes and Canon TTL Yongnuo triggers (manual op, no TTL of course). They all work generally. But you've confirmed things if I want to go the Yongnuo flash flash route. Great sleuthing on this subject!

[@LavikkaPhotography]

D C If you go the yonguo route, Stay away for the 560 iv. It doesn't work well on sony camera bodies but the 560 III and II work fine.

[@DogzDinette]

Lavikka Photography Thanks for the follow up. Do you have a preference for triggers to control multiple manual flashes?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

I use the Yonguo RF 603 IIs.

[@Lyng201]

Hi there! Guess have to thank you cause I'm struggling with the issue I can't find a flash for my Sony DSH 400v (multi interface shoe) was considering to order the Youngnuo. Still thinking about it . If you have any recommendations about how useful could be get this flash, I will really appreciate it. Thanks and regards from Costa Rica

[@trancebynature4]

I have a Sony hx400v camera,my question is when I connect my XYST1M Stereo Mic For Multi-Interface Shoe.How do I know that the camera is recording through microphone 🎤??does it show up on screen or something??

[@stevemoundzouris276]

Thanks for the video... I have a Sony a6000 and I"m wanting to purchase 3 or the Yongnuo YN560 IV along with a trigger.. The problem is, Not sure which set to purchase, the set that says it works with Canon or the Nikon version? Or does it matter?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Don't do it! 560 iv has reliability issues. Buy the TT685s and X1 amzn.to/1sIPn7Q. It's so much better!

[@paulsimpson2060]

Brilliant, I had actually abandoned flash photography as I could not get a cheap flash to work.I only only use manual flash so I did not want to pay silly money for the Sony flash.Thanks very much.

[@jimgentry4740]

Which kind of hot shoe transmitters are you using with the sony a6000?

[@sonvfave]

OE, NO! say its not so haha.. I really love this guy! Humility goes a long way...

[@robmulally]

Great info, I have a Sony Flash and YungNuo Receivers. What Combo do you have there, I noticed the flash doesn't require a receiver if its Yungo Transmitter! can you let me know what models they are. CHeersRob

[@billjaynes9234]

Lavikka, It's be 3 and a half years since this review. Since that time, have you had any problem with the A 6000 hot shoe loosening or even worse, falling off all together? Mine just did yesterday and while Canon and other hot shoe allow you to remove a plate and tighten from the top, all I can find on line is that I need to take the camera entirely apart because the hot shoe tightens from the bottom. I now have a one year old camera with NO interface with outside lighting of any kind other than the useless pop up flash. Certainly I can't fire my studio lights. Do you know of a resource where I can learn to fix or replace my hot shoe? I'm at least 3000 miles from the nearest repair center in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

[@jasonfields6514]

Lavikka Photography Have you ever had any problems with the Yongnuo 560iii or 560iv only firing in full power no matter the settings?? Im having this issue & Im hearing about it everywhere online. I just have't seen any videos yet with a fix for this issue. Most think its a resistor that could easily be replaced & most also dont care about voiding the warranty because Yongnuo's warranty department seems harder to reach than Mars at this point! lol..Have you heard of this issue or any fixes? Any help would be great. Thanks!!

[@Stampajoey]

Great update so my question is with the YONGNUO YN560 IV work on my Sony a6000 using your suggestion on the hot-shoe video???

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Joe Cascio I would think that it would but I'm still hearing people having issues with that flash.

[@biggerpicturephoto]

Hey, I'm new to A7iii, I have Canon gear but all my 7 flashes are YN600s and I trigger them with a YN560tx from my Canon 5Diii. The A7iii doesnt trigger the 560tx but I tried on a A7ii and it works. I tried your method but no luck. Any other ideas?

[@karmatseringstar]

what transmitter, what compatible speedlite for sony a6000 camera. Do I have to buy hotshoe adapter ?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+karma tsering kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzdf3qkhKukfZo

[@BomJimmy]

Thank you for reserch about this locking pin going into a small hole. I never knew before you explained. One thing here odd is that this is not Sony multi interface hot shoe, this is just a two contact, ground and trigger, hot shoe.

[@sammesamme-nlar2829]

I am not blasting all you are doing, on the contrary great finding as solution. I am just confused as a newbie with the terms 1) standard, universal &multi-interface. 2) the number of pins on your flashes shoe are all different from the holes on the a6000 hot shoe (3), which seems they were never meant for each other. 3) wonder if the yn560-tx is same hot shoe design. 4) do you get any ttl effects in anyway or it's totally manual.

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+Samme Samme-nlar All flashes come with a center firing pin which is universal. The pin allows the flash to be fired and the powered is controlled from the flash. The other small pins control info for TTL and HSS for each brand. The mulit interface hot shoe has the one firing pin then all of the little pins at the front for TTL, HSS and Audio control. Yonguo flashes are mostly brand specific but work fine manually on Sony in manual mode.

[@Freekygrandma]

omgosh! I just returned my Promaster trigger and transmitter for this very issue. I have a Sony a58 and the hotshoe has pins at the beginning but the rest looks universal. Anyhoo I ended up doing optical slave mode but my camera flash goes off as well and gives harsh light on the subject. I will try the triggers again. 🤦🤦🤦 Thanks for sharing this....

[@chak_dz6961]

Damn, what video, really helpful mate, thanks

[@AmishCrusader]

The YN622C-TX fits on the Sony MIS with no problem, I use that to trigger the other yongnuo flashes. As an added bonus, I mounted a cheap Vivitar FB-100 ($20 on sale) to extend 2 other cold shoes on the A7II, mounted a pocketwizard plusX on it, and ran the PC sync cable between the PlusX and the YN622C-TX. This basically lets my sekonic L-478DR talk to the PlusX, and the PlusX tells the Yongnuo to fire, and the yongnuo controls all the other Yongnuo receiver groups (in manual mode). It's pretty slick! Take it easy :)

[@nitsan]

Thanks for the video. I still can't get the Sony A7S to work with my 80light brand trigger, even when the pin is in.

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Make sure you are below 200th of sec, camera is set to flash+fill with red eye off, and there should be a little wiggle room in the hotshoe with the transmitter in. twist the transmitter to right until it stops. that will help ground it a little.

[@behindthescenes_withnasalinks]

Hey I a problem with my a600 I can't get the wireless flash mode to work it's tell tell me that's it is disabled

[@slavkocesnovar6136]

Hello there..... I need some help...will this setup work in hss mode on sony a6000, Godox trigger X1T-C and V850 flash? tnx

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+Slavko Cesnovar No it won't in order to get that to work you will need hss triggers. Phottix Odin, Nissin Air R, or Pixel kings with adapters.

[@Vibes2me]

I just got a A6500 and I have a ton of Youngnou Flashes and receivers. So I tried what you said and it seems to work for the most part. I put my 622C on the A6500 and then put my awesome YN568EX II for Canon on a 622C. And it seems to fire with your concept of "Wiggle Room" I'm not sure it always works but 99% it fired and hopefully do the trick.

[@Vibes2me]

One last comment on your very helpful video (Wish I would have this morning before ordering a GODOX Flash for SOny) I noticed with the Trigger on my A6500 I can't select WL from the menu for Wireless Flash. Big Concern?

[@CarringtonAdkins]

So...Canon flashes will work on my A7R2 if adjusted as you've done here?

[@HembreeBoudoir]

I have a long winded question. So I have the sony a7riii and I'm using two Godex TT600s with Yongnuo transmitters. If I put the transmitter on the cameras hotshoe and then put the flash on it, it does not work. the trigger will make the camera take a photo but will not trigger the flash so I have to put the flash directly on the camera and then plug in the transmitter with a cord to the camera so it has to dangle. Any idea why that is?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

That's an odd one.i haven't played with those transmitters. The simple solution is get a Godox transmitter and have full control over those tt600s.

[@SmokeGCH]

I have a6000 and flash Matz 44-1 for Sony (with Sony Multi-Interface Hot Shoe). Flash for some reason doesn't work via the universal transmitter. Why?

[@hardnyx786]

[@laparks007]

I have watched your videos about the Sony hot shoe and liked them all, thanks. My question is, I am using a TTL / Manual dedicated flash for Canon. I am planning to purchase a new Sony RX-10 and would like to know, should the flash work in TTL mode on the Sony Multi-Interface Hot Shoe with or without an adaptor? Thanks Lp

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Lee Parks It will only work in manual mode with or without an adapter.

[@laparks007]

Lavikka Photography Thanks for your response. One last question? Do you think some of the after market brand flash units will come out for the Sony Multi-Interface Hot Shoe that will allow the TTL features? Thanks Lp

[@markhadden8421]

Hey there. I found this incredibly useful for my a7r. I got the a7rii a couple of weeks ago and to my amazement the yongnuo flash and yn-622 triggers slide right in and work perfectly. not sure if you have experienced this but it seems something has changed in the new model. just thought i would share that with you. maybe i have a "bad/good" hotshote. ;-/0

[@LavikkaPhotography]

You say it's not a paint issue, but your hotshoe plate is silver, mine is black. Did you remove the paint also? I have tried moving the flash back and forward but no flash

[@johndavid39hotmail]

I've seen that when you use the yongnuo flash in a Sony camera. It only works in manual. Is it still true?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Still true.

[@EagerSnake]

Hi David, how are you doing? I have a brand new a77mk2 and I'm looking for a flash. Can I use this flash with it? Also, can I use it in HSS? Thanks in advance.

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Yes it will work but only manually. for HSS look at the godox v860II or the tt350. I reviewed them .

[@sammesamme-nlar2829]

I found something online called multi-interface hot shoe adapter for canon and nikon branded flashes. So, maybe this could give ttl or hss with a yn560c or yn560n. what do you make of that?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+Samme Samme-nlar Nope its just a clean connection. I reviewed the Travor adapter here on my channel. I understand you really want ttl. Here is what I would recommend. I don't like sony flashes but fl32 is ok for its size and does HSS and ttl only facing forward. It's very easy t use. So is the Nissin i40. Your best bet though is the Nissin DI700a. It gives you everything wirelessly. They are all about the same price.

[@bomanisarkibeyislam2743]

I like this review very much.........it's a 10 in my book........

[@kennethconstantino4149]

What triggers are you using? Is it for the canon or the Nikon? Or either will work? Thanks!

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Either will still wrok but just for basic manual flash functions.

[@batex3]

I have the YN560 III flash and RF603 C II, works great on the Canon 7D but not on the a6000. For me, the flash works perfectly on camera without the issues you show. Unfortunately the transceiver does not work with the camera. I tried sliding it back slightly, and can't get it to work. The locking pin you show, on mine does not stick out even when you tighten the locking ring. Could that be the problem? You don't say whether your 603 II are for Canon or Nikon, does it make a difference to the Sony? I have several of these and really need them to work!

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+batex3 I had a look and the base of the transmitter should be hanging of the back so it is flush with the screen distance wise. also try twisting to the right. have transmitter set on TX and the camera on Flash-Fill.

[@GEOVISIONTV1]

hey man it work with yognuo hss and ttl flash ? for example 568ex II

[@LavikkaPhotography]

+CANAL GEOVISIÓN No you can only shoot manually with off brand flashes.

Oh! Thanks you I had the same problem. Was driving me crazy.

[@Rodrigo-Digao]

Does it work for a3000? When I put the flash into the hotshoe, the Power Save Indicator is always "on" (red) and the flash get "stuck".

[@LavikkaPhotography]

It should. its the same hotshoe.

[@michellopes9750]

Have you gotten Wireless HSS/TTL on 3rd party flashes/Transmitters on Sony?

[@pematamang9268]

Which speed flash is better with Sony a6000 and can i shot 1/4000 to 1/8000. I really need advice from you I am going purchase in few days?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

Your a6000 only goes to 4000 of sec. My current favorites are the Godox v860IIs if need a lot of light and the if you want something portable that is balanced on the camera then look at the Godox tt350s. I reviewed both.

[@strattheodoratou7391]

thank you for your video. Do you know if JSC -8 hot shoe adapter is compatible with Sony a7 sii? Or, have you ever used a hot shoe adapter with this specific camera?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

It will work but not very well. The only advantage is the pc socket for older strobe kits but even then no hss or ttl. Just get a Godox flash for Sony like v350s or the V1. Life is so much easier that way.

@@LavikkaPhotography I found this Godox TT600S, much cheaper, if you can, I would appreciate your opinion www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07FL4C2VT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3UE58Y23ZMYFY&psc=1

Does the Autofocus Help Work?

[@kalyantulabandu9522]

Great video ! Is it the same case with RX100 II ?

[@LavikkaPhotography]

No. Just the a6000.

What’s the issue between YN and Sony that are you guys experiencing? I have a YN565EX II and it works manually on my A7iii no TTL. Because it’s a Canon flash!?!

[@LavikkaPhotography]

You are correct. You need a flash made for Sony to get TTL

OK so i have sanded all paint off, bent tabs up, treble checked that locating pin is engaging. fires sb900 every time when mounted directly on shoe.It also fires sb 900 every time when using 2 622n's. If i attach my 622n tx it will not fire. it is sending a signal as the light flashes on the back of the sb900 but no flash. if i take the sb900 off ttl the 622x fires it in manual???? whats going on here then?

+Gordon Mackinnon Another reviewer told me he added a resistor to his 622n to get it to work. I'm trying to find out specifics.
