Product Information

Full details

The Sony ADP-MAA Shoe Adapter is designed for photographers who want to use older Sony Alpha auto-lock accessories, such as flashguns and viewfinders, with newer Sony cameras featuring a multi-interface shoe. Its key benefit is expanding accessory compatibility, allowing you to leverage your existing gear. A minor caveat is that it specifically adapts Sony's auto-lock system to the multi-interface shoe, not other brands.
