Sony a7 II hot shoe question

Sony a7 II hot shoe question

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 :slight_smile:

 

Any clarification will really help.

 

Thanks!!

Also read the comments in the link, when I was reading the article I had the same thoughts as Gary too :wink:

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 😄
