NEX-7 with extra flashes

Canon Speedlite does not fit in NEX-7. What is needed to connect EL-Skyport to NEX-7 and shoot the flash/flashes with skyport system? Several options?

You have two options if you plan to go down a third party flash route.

FA-ST1AM which gives you a PC Sync connection

FA-HS1AM gives you a standard hot shoe port for mounting on triggers and then allow you in turn to use third party units. I would go for this option.

Thanks for your tips. The adapter looks like handy and stylish. Minus side is the price over 100 euros here in Europe. There was also a comment about the battery life, but in my case this would not be in hard use.....or this is the plan sofar.

Do you have a comment about

which Amazon UK offers? The users' comments are positive.

I do have lot of expectatios for(?) NEX-7 comparing to my present 5D Mark II, which is too heavy and big e.g. in suitcase.
