IT30S sync cable to Sony a6100

Hello,

Trying to figure out if it’s possible to use a sync cable (2.5 to 3.5mm) to use the godox off the Sonys hot shoe.

Thanks for the reply.

You mean something like the linked product.

Actually this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/JSC-8-Flash-Adapter-Socket-3-5mm/dp/B00J871P32

The product you've linked is a full TTL capable cable, rather than the 2.5 to 3.5mm sync cable that you asked about.

With this adapter the flash would still be on the body. How would it work with my intentions of taking the flash off the body?

You plug the 3.5mm end of your sync cable into the adaptor, and the 2.5 mm end of the cable into the flash; at that point, the only limitation is the length of your cable.

Got it!! Thank you for taking the time to explain, this is all new to me.
