Q: 3. Will this work on a r6 MkII? If not, what will work on the R6MkII that has a PC sync connection?

Q: 4. What is the warranty on this product?

A: The Vello HSA-PVU Hot Shoe Adapter with Safe Voltage Conversion includes a limited 1-year manufacture warranty.

Q: 5. I have a digital Leica CL and a Contax G flash. Will this adapter work properly , fire the flash and protect my camera's circuitry?

Q: 7. This unit runs on a battery. My question is, if the battery fails in the middle of a shoot, will it make it impossible to fire the flash from an older power pack? Or will it still fire with potential damage to the camera?

A: According to Vello, they state that if the battery dies, the HSA-PVU Hot Shoe Adapter would still provide voltage protection for your camera. However, the PC sync terminal may lose the ability to trigger the flash or power pack connected to the adapter, depending on the voltage needed to trigger the unit. So the short answer is if the battery dies, your camera remains protected, but the flash connected to the adapter may not fire.

Q: 8. Is this sturdy enough for a 7'-0 umbrella?

A: Yes, you may use a 7-foot umbrella with the Photoflex Dual Shoe Flash Adapter Kit. It is a heavy duty mount. I would recommend to ensure the light stand you use has a maximum load capacity that may handle the combined weight of the umbrella and flashes used on the bracket; the light stand's load capacity would be the determining factor for your needs.

Q: 9. This unit runs on a battery. My question is, if the battery fails in the middle of a shoot, is the voltage protection disabled or will it allow high voltage from an older flash power pack to go to the camera?

A: Don't know. It doesn't work at all on my Olympus or Nikon cameras. Total waste of money for me.

Q: 10. Can I plug my Norman 400 into the PC connection of the Vello and install my Nikon SB-910 on the hot shoe connection of the Vello and have them both fire simultaneously on my D300 and D3s?

A: Sorry, melahat m, your question is out of my range. I recommend that you contact Vello directly via their website and ask them the question. They were happy to answer my questions about this same vello adapterand were very helpful. Good luck in your search. Barry.
