(There is metal on the foot of the adapter part that goes directly in you camera's hot shoe.)

The breakaway nature is deliberate...far better to replace a relatively lower cost cord which you can buy in any Canon store, than to have to send in your flast to Canon repair facility and lose its use for weeks. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost! Keep POTN alive and well with member support https://photography-on-the.net/forum/donate.php

I just looked at B&H and found this, Canon OC-E3 Off Camera Shoe Cord : does anyone know if this has a metal construction for the foot (attaches to the top of the bracket)This should work
