I have the Nikon SC-28, but it's not possible to put it on the
stroboframe. What kind of cord/connection do I need so that I can
retain TTL functionality without making use of the hotshoe on the
SB800?

Thanks in advance.

The SC-17

The strobo frame should have come with a plate and screw to mount a Nikon
speedlight via a cord like hte SC-17, which has a tripod mount opening on
it.

It does make use of the camera's hotfoot, though...not sure why that would
be a problem.

I mount mt SB800 (and 28) on my Stroboframe brackets. The SC17 cable
does the trick. You need to hook the camera end to the hotshoe, as
that is the only place
he TTL contacts are present.

I also have the sc-17 which I was told would not work, but does just
fine with both the SB600 or SB800 and fastens to the stroboframe
bracket easily.
