Is there a Hot Shoe to PCB?
Looking to make my own flash transmitter circuit board that connects to the hot shoe of a camera. Is there a hot shoe to PCB component? Haven't been able to find one and would prefer to avoid soldering wires to the circuti board from the hot shoe. Even something with a cable coming off would work. I could make my own but would prefer not to.

Even something like this could work

Here is what I use. This is a pc board that brings out the metering, flash trigger and ground pins. The contact is made using pogo pins. (not shown in picture)

Wow Jeff, it's incredibly nice of you to offer gerbers for something that you took time to design, I really apprecaite the offer. I need a way to lock the hot show adapter onto the camera so I'm going to adapt a hot shoe mount that already has a locking screw on it and then 3D print a housing to go around it. Very much apprecaite the offer!
