Multi-interface shoe adapter for "Intelligent Accessory Shoe"

Hi  - I have bought a used HVL-IRH2 Infrared lamp to use with my FDR-AX100E, but didnt realise that the shoe fitting has changed to multi-interface shoe, whereas the lamp has an "Intelligent Accessory Shoe" fitting. Does anyone know if there is an adapter available which would allow me to fit this lamp, or do I need to buy a more recent version (i.e. the HVL-LEIR1) .

Many thanks if anyone can help,

Hi @Gilesman,

 

if I am not mistaken the Sony ADP-MAC adapter does exactly what you need: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B1NS9QM/

Unfortunately the ADP-MAC adapter arrived and it is not the correct solution. The adapter converts "Multi Interface Shoe" (which I have on my camcorder) to "Active Interface Shoe". The infrared light actually has a "Intelligent  Accessory Shoe", which is NOT the same.

 

How many different types of camcorder shoe are there for heavens sake?!

 

So - is there an adapter that converts "Multi Interface Shoe" to "Intelligent  Accessory Shoe"?

Hello @Gilesman,

 

I am utterly sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

Would you mind posting an image of the shoe on your light?
