VL-7 light compatible with XM-2?
Does anyone know if the VL-7 is compatible with the XM-2? it looks about the same size as the VL-3, but it has two pins poking out the front which suggest it wouldn't fit into the XM-2's accessory shoe.
cheers |

Sorry, not at all compatible with the XM2/GL2. The reason is as you suspect, the pin layout prevents the light from properly attaching to the camera.

The VL10i actually uses the exact same batt and charger as your XM2. However, I think it's kinda big and bulky compared to a VL3, with only a seven watt difference between the two lights.

Oh I see! Maybe if they hand't given the batteries names like 'BP-945' I might have realised!
Still I have a motto of not bidding for anything on ebay unless I have handled the product and deifinitely want it. I have never used either the VL-3 or VL-10 and would like to compare them on out my XM-2. i am also currently £700 in debt due to purchase of said camera..! |
