Given that this mounts on the hotshoe, does it remove any ability to also mount a flash? How does it compare to the Vello ShutterBoss?

Yes, it does remove the ability to mount something else on the hotshoe if you choose to mount the receiver there. However, what I usually do is that I take a little risk and just dangle the receiver from the cable and keep the hotshoe free for something else.

you can let the Giga Pro hook up to a aux. Handle while leaving your hot shoe for a flash

The receiver doesn't need to mount on the hotshoe to work. The mount is only there to hold the receive. The receiver will still work hanging on the side of the camera.

The shock mount will fit in the hotshoe on top of the camera but if you don't have an external line in on the camera then it won't work. You would also need an XLR to 3.5mm converter to connect it. I would strongly suggest running it through an external audio recorder like a Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H4N. Syncing audio is easy. Hope this helps.

Depending on how you define "work" and what your settings are, yes, it whould work on any camera with a standard hotshoe. Remember that you are probably buying this because it's far cheaper than a Nikon Flash, so don't expect the balls & whistles, and don't expect it to be rugged. It's not.

It doesn't work for the stock flashes ie; the ones on the camera. You could get it to work, I'm sure, but it's DEFINITELY a hassle and not worth it. It works best with a flash that you buy and attach to your camera via the hot shoe. It has elastic, so it works with most sizes. Hope I helped!

The kit only consists of mounting equipment, so you would still need to purchase off-camera flashes to use for it. The kit itself is intended to support anything that mounts a standard hot shoe. You would also need to make sure that your flashes would be able to be triggered by the camera's pop-up flash, or else also purchase remote triggers.

It does have a built in flash. I believe you can use any flash that can mount to a hot shoe.

There are two ends to the cord: one that attaches to the hotshoe on the camera and one that connects to the flash. The end that connects to the flash does have a threaded hole on the bottom of it so you can attach it to a standard light stand. However, this cord is relatively short when it's coiled, so it might be a little awkward to attach it to a stand at times since one tug on the cord would knock the stand over. If your camera is also on a tripod, that won't be as much of an issue since you will be much less likely to accidentally tug on the cord.

the mount bracket has a knob that tightens or loosens depending on the hot shoe of the flash but i have a nikon 600 n ive never seen a canon flash in person so i cant give you a definitive answer sorry

Sony uses a proprietary hot shoe so they can milk you for more money. You will need their overpriced adapter to mount a standard manual flash or triggers.

This has no use in your camera, it is for cameras with a Proprietary Sony Hot Shoe, in other words if your camera have a Sony(the older hotshoe version) hot shoe and you want to use a standard hotshoe flash then using this you can connect it to the camera, also if your camera does not have a pc(for a flash with a pc wire) connection, then this enables your camera to fire an external pc connection flash. you can use this on the Sony a 700 camera for an example. Your camera is a compact camera without a hotshoe, it has its own pop up flash.

I doubt it because it the Sony flash doesn't use a typical hot shoe attachment. This Sony proprietary shoe requires that the flash be attached to the camera with its built-in thumb screw. Perhaps Sony sells the attachment, but I have not seen nor been offered it.

I was told all the canons use the same logic...while this might be true it is 'knock off' and will not work with some off-camera flash controllers. Wow... Canon 5D mk2-- go with a canon flash and you will not regret it. If you want something on camera with a little more bounce capability than stock 5D this is ok.

I have a Nikon D300s and it works fine on that. I am not sure about the Canon, but if it helps, the section that slides into the hotshoe has a gap in the centre of it, perhaps this is designed to bypass the switch?

Dear friend,Thanks for your inquiry.Sorry to say this one does not come with the hotshoe.You can tell me your SLR models since some can also use this item without hotshoe.Thanks a lot.

Yes, the hot shoe mount is with the flash control / dimmer / etc. I use it for macro with D-series Nikons

This device uses a Velcro strap to size to the flash. A Canon 320x has a sloping head on it, so at most you may need a little Velcro tape on the head of the flash to insure it does not slip. I have used this on may flashes and it works well on everything I tried it on.

This product is just the softbox to mount onto any aftermarket flash head. The end that fits over the flash is of a size designed to fit the flash units one plugs into the hotshoe on top of the camera body, not for any built in flash. Product works great to soften the harshness of full flash, but product isn't the most sturdy. I've been using the same one for years but I have been very careful with it.
