Nikon Speedlight adapter for Sony A7ii

[TravisO]

There's no forum for hotshoe/flash related chat but since you guys talk about adapters....

 

I own a Nikon Speedlight SB-24 and I want to use it on my Sony a7ii, already bought one adapter and I had it complete wrong.  I've been looking around Amazon but adapters aren't very descriptive or labeled well.  I can't figure out the name for the mount standard Nikon uses for speedlights, so I'm not sure what to use.  I realize an adapter won't convert the signal information, so I'll have to manually set the speedlight to the proper settings, but I just want the camera to fire off the flash at the right time.  Although if there is an adapter that can convert the signal so it knows what f stop to pick, I'd be open to spending more.  Either way I appreciate any advice you people can share.

For reference, here it the wrong one I purchased

The top mount is correct for the Nikon, but obviously the bottom isn't for the Sony a7 line

Nope the bottom on that one is for the old Sony/minolta hotshoe

I use my SB26 with a Hahnel triggerkit for Nikon. Being a fully manual setup it works a charm. Jason Lanier has a video on 4 options for wireless flash on Sony cameras. It is datid by now but should bring you some usefull info anyway.

Update: the flash works fine, no adapter needed

After further Googling I discovered the center pin is universal and it triggers the flash to fire, and all hot shoes have the center pin connector, so I charged my batteries and tried the lense, no adapter and it works.  Obviously I have to go manual on the settings but it appears the first time I tested the flash my batteries weren't outputting enough voltage.
