Sony a7 II hot shoe question

reverse_blade93 — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 11:26:00 GMT

Thinking on buying the a7 II, and I'm pretty much on the side to buy it very soon, but I have 1 question, I have an elinchrom DLite RX 4, I was looking for information if the hotshoe from a7 II, is it the generic hot shoe now, cannot find this yet in my local camera store, will it fit to an elinchrom skyport trigger, and most importantly will it trigger the Elinchrom DLite RX 4 lights

Any clarification will really help.

Thanks!!

I have been using an A7s in the studio with the Elinchrom skyport triggers without a problem. I have just ordered an A7ii and it has the same hotshot as the a7s 😄
