An engineer from Sweden has developed the first ever hotshoe adapter for the Nikon 1 V-series mirrorless cameras. The V2-F1A adapter allows photographers to mount Iso-hotshoe flashguns and radio triggers to the Nikon 1Ă‚Â V1, V2 and V3.
The proprietary accessory port on the NikonĂ‚Â 1 V-seriesĂ‚Â only works with a single model of flashgun, the Speedlight SB-N7 (and the discontinued SB-N5). The situation isĂ‚Â exacerbated by the Nikon V1’s lack of a built-in flash, contributingĂ‚Â to my personallyĂ‚Â getting fed up and switching to another system.
The “Adapting Camera” V2-F1A provides an Iso-standard hotshoeĂ‚Â as well as PC sync port, bothĂ‚Â for manual triggering of small flashes, sync cordsĂ‚Â and radio transmitters. Its manufacturer — who makes them himself — is now selling them directly for €83 / Ă‚ÂŁ59 / US$91 / 785SEK. Visit the Adapting Camera blog for more information.
