cookie88 · 23rd April 2005

Just wondering, what do I need to mount my 5600HS(D) flash on a conventional tripod. Thanks

u need the shoe that fixes on the bottom of your flash.. below that is a screw thread where u can just screw it onto the tripod.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Specifically, do you have the brand and part number. Cant seem to find this in Minolta's System Brochure. Thanks

be gentle when screwing it in. The base is plastic while the screw is on tripod base is steel, too forceful or too fast may break the thread or plastic stand. Be careful.

The minolta OS1100 shoe ! Needs an OC1100 cable to route from the camera to the OS1100 Shoe !

Good luck !

No need. Minolta flashes are very capable wireless flashes. Only need to mount them.

BTW. Did the OC1100 have a tripod screw below?

forbytes · 26th April 2005

no, it has a smooth base. no lobangs

The OC1100 is just a cable to connect the body's shoe to a flash or other flash accessories.

Edit: OS1100 is a off camera shoe. It has a tripod screw mount according to B&H. Other sources indicate that there is also a ISO shoe at the bottom.
