Why wont this mic fit into Nikon D7100 or Nikon P7800 hot shoe? It will only slide half way in and no matter how much 'force' used will go no further!

Newer Nikon digital cameras have a special hot shoe designed to work with their "smart" electronic flash units. To fit the SVM or other accessories using a non-Nikon shoe you can get buy adapter that slips on the Nikon shoe and has a standard shoe on top. I use those often with my Nikons and SVM and shotgun mic. Several accessory companies make them, but quality varies. Check the reviews.

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

That won't work unless you can get clever about giving the mic power. Part of the hotshoe wiring includes the power to the mic as well as the audio outs to the camera. You'd be better off getting a different mic for that camera.

Hi I don't have the D7100, but I might think works with that one. the N in the reference stands for NIKON.And the hot shoe of NIKON is almos the same in all the new cameras so I might give it a try, is cheap and so far are good.I get 2 boxes so I have 4 triggers. I am very happy with them.NIKON D600.

I use it on a Sony SLT 77 and it fits on the hot shoe then plugs into the MIC port on the camera

I just received my eyecup and the rubber was split/cracked all the way through the leftside. ANyway, im sending it back but i tried it on my camera, Nikon D7100, but i could not getit to slip on, it seems like it is a bit too small.

Most likely it's a faulty cable. Make sure all connections are screwed on tight. Or the triggers won't fire. Make sure the trigger meets the hot shoe 622 (n). N = nikon.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry you purchased this unit. I did a few years ago and it lies at the bottom of my junk drawer. I went through 5 cables (2) replaced by the seller, the rest by me in 1 month. On my review I would have given it a (0) stars but (1) was the lowest I could go. I found a dealer in Hong Kong http://di-gps.com/shop/di-GPS-Eco-ProFessional-M-PF1-M that will provide the PERFECT match for your Nikon D800. It screws into your 10 pin connector and it works better that even Nikon's own because there is NO CABLE. I have this unit as well as the one that fits on my backup camera D7000. I used both at the London Olympics and just return from Paris where they worked perfectly.

Mic has both a shoe mount and a tripod thread. Output is by 3.5 mm stereo plug. Because of the length of the output cable, your mic input jack needs to be within about 10" from the shoe mount.

It should just pull out the mic slot, you can try to youtube it. I know some of the reviewers show pulling out the mic.

Hello J Dixon. What do you mean cold shoe? This turns the Sony "multi media" connection into a hot shoe. I used this to trigger a wireless flash system for my NEX 5N and it has been perfect! Not one problem. I wish I could say that with all the cheap Chinese flashes I've gone thru. What a joke! I hope this helps? I see you're going to use it with a mic? Not sure how you probably no better than i do

Hi. We have tried this or dealt with this before, but if all you are doing is transferring the audio coming into the Mic to the Camera, it seems like this should be fine. Thank you

I ordered one of these for my D90. it was supposed to come with an MC-DC2 connector, which is compatible with the D90 D5100 and D7100 Nikons. The product I received had an MC-DC1 connector which is incompatible with these cameras. I shipped it back.

Take the complete unit to your local hardware store and they will have the correct screw size for the unit, This would be the easiest way to solve the problem. Good luck with this unit. It works very well on my cameras as it will on yours.

There are alot of hot shoes, and sometimes one is compatible with a whole series of cameras , and then again sometimes not...I suggest, what I did . That was to go to Amazon and check on all the hot shoes..Usually the cameras and devices they are compatible with are ALL listed either in the actual title, or in the Technical Info....I have 4 hot shoes, for different cameras ..One of them is for two different cameras, so they are interchangeable.. Just make sure you know with WHAT ? :-) Hope this helps...

I see no reason why not. Unless the configuration of the D7100 popup flash is vastly different then my D810. It slips into the flash shoe and then covers the popup allowing only Infra Red through. No guarantees here though... might want to go to a store and look at the two cameras side by side?
