Hello,

I have a SIGMA 500 DG Super flash that a few months back I got in my vehicle w/ my camera around my kneck and still had the flash on (dumb i know) and it hit my steering wheel and broke the flash off. The base is what broke, the two little plastic pieces that goes into the hot shoe.

Does anyone know where I could get this repaired?

I will be forever greatful if someone can help out :)

Thanks!

With Canon flashes you can buy the part. Try calling a place that sells sigma gear, or else call sigma directly, and ask for the parts department.

Hello everyone,

A while back when I posted this thread, someone messaged me w/ a site that had the part I was looking for and I have since then had to clear my inbox and do not have the link anymore. I have been really busy and put off repairing this flash but am in the process of setting up a strobist kit so I want to get this repaired.

IF anyone knows this site, or if that night gentleman sees that that gave me his link, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Are you looking for the Canon or the Nikon version of the foot plate? Here is a link to an image on my site that shows both so you can match it up:

You can PM me, or e-mail directly, as I really can't give you more info here in this thread.
