The AP-7 is a universal Flash Adapter which securely holds most flashes, shoe cords or shoe adapters attached to other devices. It was designed to mount natively into the M-3 recessed mount portion of our flash brackets. The AP-7 also works with a large array of 1/4-20 mounting applications, using the 1/4-20 female thread hole or the included Accessory Mounting Thumbscrew to attach the cold shoe to a variety of flash brackets, light stands or audio visual mounts.
