Q: 1. It is not clear from the single photo of this adapter how it attaches to the 244 friction arm. My 244 arm has a standard 5/8" spigot on each end. So how does this adapter connect to a spigot - does it fit over the spigot and set-screw tighten? or is there a 1/4" or 3/8" thread somewhere?

A: Via 1/4 opening.

Q: 2. 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: 3. Will this work with the iFootage Komodo K5S?

A: No, the Leofoto CF-06 Lens Foot for Canon RF Lens is not compatible with the iFootage Komodo K5S Fluid Head (B&H # IFK5S). The fluid head only adapts the 501PL type plate, like the Manfrotto 501PL Sliding Quick Release Plate with 1/4"-20 Screw (B&H # MA501PL).

Q: 4. 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: 5. Will this work on a r6 MkII? If not, what will work on the R6MkII that has a PC sync connection?

A: The Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera has the Canon Multi-Function Shoe. The Vello HSA-PVU Hot Shoe Adapter with Safe Voltage Conversion is compatible when using the Canon AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter, BH #CAOCSAADE1.

Q: 6. 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?

A: Yes, the Vello HSA-PVU Hot Shoe Adapter with Safe Voltage Conversion will protect the Leica CL when using older flashes that had a higher voltage from the Shoe. And the flash should work in manual on the camera.

Q: 7. can i use this unit with my metz 45 ct1 on my nikon d7200???

A: I've used it with an Olympus E-M1 and a Sony A7R using older Sunpak flash units without any problems. I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Nikon D7200 with a Metz flash. You may want to check your camera manual regarding older flash units with high trigger voltages.

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