For example you might want to use a Minolta Macro Ring Flash 1200 with 2 small 3600HSD flashes as fill or use a Sony HVL-F58AM as a key light and a sunpak pz40 as a fill flash. Basically it allows you to combine any 3 flashes and is very practical if one of these flashes doesn\u2019t support the Sony wireless system.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Disadvantages <\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>First off the cable set up isn\u2019t cheap but can be found for ok prices on E-Bay second hand. Secondly its time consuming to set up and Gets very expensive if you want to have a grater distance between the flashes (but I\u2019ll cover a solution for that latter).<br \/>\nThe third problem is that Sony have changed the hot-shoe for all future cameras so you will need an adaptor for this system to work on cameras with an ISO shoe system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2448\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/?attachment_id=2448\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?fit=938%2C798\" data-orig-size=\"938,798\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"613nduWJPPL._AA1500_\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?fit=300%2C255\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?fit=600%2C510\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2448\" alt=\"613nduWJPPL._AA1500_\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?resize=600%2C510\" width=\"600\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?w=938 938w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.scottlewisphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/613nduWJPPL._AA1500_.jpg?resize=300%2C255 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I can only home Sony continue to support this system with the new hot shoe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned a triple connector for Sony flashes in an earlier post.
