    Andrew ★★★★★

    Finally put my old Vivitar 285HV on a modern trigger without worrying about frying the contacts. The safe sync circuit dropping high voltage to 3 volts gives me real peace of mind, and the battery check button is a handy touch.

    Matthew ★★★★★

    I've been using this adapter to connect my older studio strobes without worrying about frying my camera's hotshoe, and the Safe Sync circuit gives me real peace of mind. The build feels solid enough for daily gigs, and the voltage regulation works exactly as described.

    Kevin M. ★★★★★

    I was nervous about using an old flash on my new mirrorless body, but the Safe Sync circuit dropped the voltage to 3v and the camera works perfectly. The battery check button is a nice touch too, and it’s a solid little adapter for the price.
