Anyone have a flash bracket and hot shoe cord combo they can recommend for the KP?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Are you needing one with Pentax compatibility (5-pole shoe, foot, and cord) or just capability for corded manual flash?

I'd like to use either the Pentax AF-200FG in TTL or the Macro Twin KX-800 in manual, I presume. I'd like more separation with the AF-200FG, but also don't like the weight of the KX-800 pivoting on the pentaprism, so the bracket would help with that as well. For off camera I'm headed toward Flashpoint/Godox.

I was thinking maybe the Vello 3' off camera flash cord. Not sure about bracket, or frame.

Thanks for asking.

The Vello 3' OCS-P is a popular and reasonably priced option and should work well for you. As for brackets, what works well often depends on intended use and whether a tripod is part of the equation.
