Flash Sync Adapter KAISER Synchro-Adapter hot shoe (male) to PC terminal (female) — pack of 2

The KAISER Synchro-Adapter converts a camera hot shoe (male) into a PC sync terminal (female), supplied as a pack of two. These adapters allow photographers to connect studio flashes, monolights or sync cables to cameras that do not have a built-in PC socket, enabling reliable flash triggering and integration with legacy or professional lighting equipment without modifying camera electronics.

Advantages

Each adapter provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection between the camera hot shoe and a PC-sync cable, preserving contact alignment and minimizing the risk of misfires. Supplied in a twin pack, the adapters are convenient for multi-camera shoots or as a spare. The simple, passive design requires no power or drivers and is compatible with a wide range of flash systems that use standard PC synchronization.

Suitable for

• Connecting studio strobes or monolights to cameras without PC sockets
• Triggering external flash units during studio and location shoots
• Integrating vintage or third-party lighting gear with modern cameras
• Providing backup sync adapters for multi-camera setups

Key specifications

• Interface: camera hot shoe (male) to PC sync terminal (female)
• Quantity: pack of two adapters
• Electrical: passive mechanical contact for standard flash sync circuits
• Construction: compact, low-profile housing suitable for mounting on camera shoe
• Compatibility: designed for cameras and flashes using standard hot shoe and PC sync protocols

How to use

Slide the male hot shoe end of the adapter into the camera’s hot shoe until it seats firmly. Attach a standard PC sync cable to the female PC terminal and connect the other end to the studio flash or sync input on a lighting unit. Ensure secure connections and test a short series of triggers at low power before full shooting to confirm correct operation. Remove the adapter by sliding it out of the hot shoe when not required.

Recommendations

For reliable triggering, verify that both camera and lighting units are set to compatible sync modes and voltages. Avoid excessive mechanical force when inserting or removing the adapter to protect the camera’s hot shoe contacts. When using multiple flashes or long sync cables, consider cable routing and grounding to reduce interference and ensure consistent timing.
