So, I'm looking for a camera PC socket cord with a female (?) flash shoe connector on the other end. In some situations, a bracket might be preferable to holding the flash, so any suggestions on a small bracket for the M6 that could hold the flash would be helpful as well. I did a brief search on B&H and Adorama and was pretty overwhelmed by all the options. Any idea what I need? Thanks Scott B. D.
