Help finding hotshoe for 580EX/PocketWizards

[tim]

I need to get a hotshoe thingy so I can plug pocket wizards into a 580EX, but I can't find it on B&H. Can anyone tell me what they're called, or link me to B&W? :)

This one will let you use the short sync cable that comes with the PW unit but I don't think it has a tripod screw hole at the bottom:

This one has a screw hole at the bottom but you'll need to swap out the PC plug for a mini-phone plug to use with the PW:

This requires no rework and has a tripod screw hole but is rather expensive:

Just make sure you avoid the General Brand stuff like the plague.

BTW, FlashZebra (formerly known as LonDuck) also makes hotshoe adapters if you care to check his stuff out:

Easier to order everything from B&H given shipping charges, thanks for the info :)
