Sigma Flash EF-500 DG SUPER
Had a slight accident with the camera and flash.
My flash unit snapped off the camera, and now the hotshoe connecters are damaged. Where can I get a replacement hotshoe for this flash gun?

I use one of my cams with a sigma 500 DG-ST in a nightclub
ive done 3 of the hot shoe connectors in the last year
look up sigma's website and find the contact info
give them a call and they should after some arguing ship you out the parts
every time i have ordered parts they try and get me to send it in for repair even though by the time i am ordering the parts the flashgun is already in bits & i tell them this they keep telling me how dificult it is to do...
for the canon fittment do the following
at the base of the flash remove the 4 screws
this removes the bottom section
unclip the wireing harness
there are 2 screws securing a small metal plate remove them
now there are 4 screws securing the small PCB, remove them, you can now take out the boot from the bottom be careful as the pins and the springs will want to come out
pay atention to the locking pin and how its orientated
swap over the broken boot with the replacement then retrace your steps to get it back together
