This is one of those things where when you need one, you need one. I'm not aware of any workrounds, and this is essential for attaching your off-camera flash flexibly. I use it very often and it does the trick for me.

really connects to nothing and no hotshoe base
29 Aug 2009

I found the only item that can be used with this adapter is my Sb-800 flashes. There is no hot-shoe base it is a light-stand screw only mount on the bottom. The coiled sc-29 and sc-28 cords do not have a socket to attach to this adapter. So it is only good for connecting two or more flash units together at the limiting cable length of 5ft. The sc-27 cord (sold separately) is all that connects to this adapter, nothing else connects to it. Nikon fails to install the same socket on many of their camera bodies. Which makes this adapter useless to many models. The connecting cords are very costly and too. You need to piece together several units and cords to get any proper lighting or distance.
Equipment should never limit your art, but add to your abilities instead. A very poorly thought out system, where to few cameras use the required cord. None of the coiled cords connect to this adapter. So where was Nikon's thinking on this one?
The coiled cords just pull over or topple equipment and the Sc-27 is expensive and too short to do the job. Nikon just misses the boat with adapters and cords. Save your money buy radio triggers instead. This item is worthless, expensive and unsafe.

Good, but too expensive.

I assume the reason you are reading this review is because you are not sure what to use for what, as opposed to trying to assess product quality.
I connect a Nikon SC-28 to a Nikon AS-10 via an SC-27 cord, so I can mount two SB-600 flashes on a flash bracket. This gives me the ability to use two flashes simultaneously with full CLS support ala TTL - twice the light output. I don't know if there is a less expensive alternative to the AS-10, since I'm only using one of the ports - please leave a comment if you know. Beware - the flash on the AS-10 goes to sleep and won't fire until after it wakes up - so I have to put it in "always on" mode. The flash on the SC-28 will fire even if its asleep when its picture time.
$50 for a doo-hickey to put a second flash on seems outrageous to me, but I know of no alternative and its cheaper to run multiple cheap flashes than a single expensive flash to get the same output.
