Hi, Ken.
I've actually done this several times. It's easy; just use any hot shoe or
cold shoe adapter that has a tripod screw in the bottom. Just make sure
that the bottom surface of the mating shoe that the T-32 will fit into is
flat, as there is a little plastic "nubbin" in the bottom of the T-32 shoe
that must be pushed up by the shoe adapter when the two are mated. Pushing
up the "nubbin" holds up the two auxiliary contacts in the bottom of the
T-32 shoe, preventing them from being shorted. It does NOT hold up the
sync contact, however, so your best bet to avoid problems is to get hot
shoe adapters for the purpose, and connect the T-32s with the TTL cords.
All of the shoe adapters that I have seen are built this way, so you
shouldn't have a problem finding what you need. The real problem is that
these shoe adapters are of toy quality, so don't expect them to stand up to
severe service.
Regards,
Mahlon

Subject: [OM] T32 TO LIGHT STAND
olympians
I am trying to get two OM T32's set up for some portrait photo's.
Plug each into the multiconnector then plug a 2m and 5m flash
cord to the multiconnecter then to the OM4T flash socket on the front of
the
camera.
Then it dawned on me - how do you mount a t32 to a tripod stand? Did Oly
make a connector that will allow the t32 (and t20) the bottom of the flash
to
fit a standard light stand?
If not, how is this connection done?
Ken M.
PS - I also need the 2m and 5m flash cords and a multiconnector - anyone
have
an extras?
Thanks
Ken M.
