lykaman Posted May 2, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted May 2, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) X1 - I want to use a Leica flash unit Off camera, I had a Pentax once that I was able to buy an adaptor that fitted in the camera hot shoe and via cable/hot shoe could be mounted onto the cold shoe on the bracket.. How about a double shoe camera side to accept an external VF & wired for Off camera hot shoe...

pgeobc Posted May 3, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted May 3, 2011 Yes, it works well. I use a Metz handle-type flash with mine and that must use an adaptor that fits in the equation, too. It shouldn't be too hard to take the X1 down to your dealer and see whose adapter cord has the same contact pattern and spacing. That should allow you to do what you want. Maybe a Nikon cord?
