Another you tube video offering test of 2 non-Sony flashes. Not a definitive answer to my problem as I still do not know voltage @ synch contact & fear frying A6300 innards. Link2>>

if interested.

You tube via Google search came up with interesting solution, if interested Link2>>

Thanx to all y'all for comments & advice.
Remember f8 and be there?

I made one from some old climbing sling. It is ¾inch nylon tubing which is soft, flexible, washable & if needed can be made into a diaper sling!
I doubled the sling so it is variable length usable as on: 1- shoulder, lengthened to single tube across chest, or even around neck. I attached it to camera with quick release connectors from pair of binoculars. On the back of them are Velcro patches to hold lens cap, etc.
When detached (2nd foto) the binoc part works as short around my hand strap for instant snapshots. Also the slide to lengthen the nylon sling is shown.
I do not know what sling sells for these days, but I would imagine less than commercial straps + it comes in various colors! Good luck, hope you find one that fits you perfect.

Thanx

Thanx. What does it weigh? Is it Sony E mount or other make w\ adapter?? TIA

Thanx

Thanx for the advice. Iwill talk to B&H, etc.

My apology to you. My snippy reply was meant for someone else. Plz no offense intended. I hope none taken. Thanx for prompt original reply.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what is an OP?
My apology for my dyslexic 85 y.o. 👎👎.
I believe I mentioned both lenses functioned with their respective adaptors tho manually. I have 5 OM Zuiko lenses all function with the OM-NEX adapter as does the 500mm even tho it is not OEM. However, my question concerns the ability of the magnesium alloy die-cast body to take the extended weight of these two heavier (than the kit lens) lenses when the 6300 body is tripod mounted? Can you help answer it?
P. S. My moniker is notBert. Get it?

Thanx for your prompt reply. My concerns were heightened when I first tried mounting the 6300 to tripod using a Giottos MH 652 quick release. The camera plate half screws 3.94mm into the tripod socket on the bottom of the 6300. When I turned the 6300 on it did not recognize the 16-50mm Sony E mount kit lens. Removed the camera plate and viola lens & camera were friends again! I think this may have been a problem with the length of the plate screw?
P.S. Surely the >6kg weight is a typo?

Thanx, I never thought of sack of rice. This might be ideal if I mount camera above my 5" Celestron scope for astro-fotos.

I have a 500mm f8 mirror lens I would like to attach to A 6300 body. It weighs 585 grams w\OM to Fotodiox NEX-mount adapter. If I mount the 6300+ lens on tripod via the threads on the camera bottom will the Mg-alloy body take the stress? There's no tripod attachment on the lens.
I also have a micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8 weighing 560grams which may present the same problem for the small 6300 body when tripod mounted?
I realize both lenses will not have any contact with the 6300's electronics. Both lenses work manually with the 6300.

Is the A 6300 compatible with the Mecablitz 32-MZ-3? It has one central contact (see foto)
Is the A 6300 compatible with Fujifilm EF-42 with 4 contacts which I have used on Fuji's HS20EXR?
I remember that some flashes in the past had quite high voltages @ synch contact & do not wish to fry the 6300's electronics! Also I understand the contact shoe atop the 6300 is multi-purpose and thus may not send to synch signal to flash.

Patience, they will come back time and again and wait for just the right light or event. And many times not to panic waiting it out to get the picture no matter how scary the risk. I do not know if the story is true, but: " For a series of fotos of elephants a NG photographer had a foxhole dug near a watering hole which was daily visited by a herd. The foxhole had a sturdy cover of bars allowing him to pop up and snap a series of frames. So in he goes before dawn, patiently waiting for the herd to come down. However, he once did a series of “out west” fotos and remembered that when the cattle came to their watering hole they relieved themselves. Now it was a small foxhole & he began to wonder if his fate would be to drown if elephants also did the same, filling his foxhole?”
