Jamie,
Not a lot of help. I cannot find info on the flash mounting. This " Most wireless triggers for studio flash systems can't be used on Minolta cameras. They either have the wrong flash foot, ......... " makes me suspect that this is not a common ISO hot shoe mount. If you can find a slave to fit, and the unit can be set to manual, then it can operate remotely with any camera. Don

Perhaps a couple of pics in order to help. one of the foot and one of any posible connections. I have found this link http://www.mhohner.de/minolta/flashcomp_acc.php#cables
So it appears it could be one of two foot styles. Don

Not too sure about Minolta OS-1100/Sony FA-CS1AM as that may rely on cable connection only, and I bet that is not a common cable either. I will see if I can find out info on the Sigma EF-430ST. Check the body of the flash to see if there is any sign of a cable connection point. If so do a pic. Don
