Description:
This adapter allows for mounting a flash on a tripod and connecting it with a F5P cable to the camera.

The adapter can also be mounted in a flash shoe. It has no electrical contacts at the bottom and will not make contact if mounted in a hot shoe.

The adapter has 5 pins (incl. ground) and thus works with any PENTAX flash.

The photo shows a blitz connected for off-camera use with:
- Hot Shoe Adapter FG
- Off-camera Shoe Adapter F
- F5P (short) Extension Cord

Pros: Build quality
Cons: Price

I acquired this several years ago, and it's mounted on a Manfrotto flash bracket. I can use it alone, or mount another on camera flash with the Hot Shoe Adapter F for a dual flash system.

Pros: Workmanship
Cons:

Recently purchased this hot shoe adapter off ebay and although have not yet had a chance to use it, it looks sturdy and made with good workmanship. I intend to hook it up with the hot shoe adapter F and sync cord F .

Pros: works as advertised
Cons: should not be necessary

This works, but why doesn't every higher level Pentax flash have in or even in and out ports for the sync cords? I feel nickled and dimed by the current line of flashes.

Pros: Does the job
Cons: Tripod threads are made of plastic, expensive

This adapter works as advertised but you have to be careful not to overtigthen the tripod screw since the threads of the adapter are made of plastic.

You may want to look for a more solid solution if you use wireless flash and thus do not need the F5P connection.
