This is an old revision of the document!


ISO 518:2006 defines the mechanical dimensions of the standard hot shoe.

It can be used to connect external flash units, remote flash triggers or used as a mount for additional gear like spirit levels, magic arms, handles, etc.
Electrical specs are not covered and may be proprietary. If you are using flash units make sure to check for compatibility. Flash units with high trigger voltages are able to damage your camera permanently.


Example for “hot shoe”: Analog camera with center pin
