This socket on my Neewer NW985N speedlight (for Nikon) measures 13 x 6 mm and the pins are 3.5 mm apart. The centre one is longer than the others. On the manual and all other adverts for this speedilght, this socket is described as a charge or external power socket, but that's all I can find out.
Now, I asked Neewer about it and they said they don't sell a lead that fits it, but they think there would be other leads out there. They couldn't even tell me what the power requirements would be! Not very helpful!
The fact is, Neewer don't actually manufacture anything, they just market rebranded versions of other Chinese products. I have yet to discover the original make of this speedlight, so I can't find an appropriate lead.
So, does anyone recognise it, and does it correspond to any other manufacturer's charge socket? If anyone can help me find a lead, I'd be grateful. After all, the socket is there, and it would be helpful if I could run this speedlight off external power to save batteries while working in the studio.
