Hot-shoe compatibility

This flash works with most Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and other brand cameras that have a standard hot shoe. It is explicitly not compatible with Sony and Minolta bodies. Check your camera shoe type before purchase.

Questions about this item

How does the 4000 model designation translate to flash power in actual use?

The 4000 designation identifies the model series; real-world output depends on the bounce head angle, zoom setting and the camera's metering system.

Which hot-shoe standard does the flash use and what limits does that impose?

It fits a standard ISO hot shoe on Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and other brands; Sony and Minolta bodies are not supported.

What clearance and mounting hardware are needed to attach the unit?

The flash weighs .77 kg and ships with a camera bracket; it mounts directly on the hot shoe and the bracket adds a tripod socket for extra stability.
