question
The Canon flashes quick release system (like the Canon 600EX-RT) has a PIN that drops into a hole that helps secure it. Does this shoe have the hole to secure the flash?
I don't have this particular model but I do have the Vello HSA-PSN ADAPTER FOR a Nikon and it does have the hole you are referring to.

question
Does this work with a Nikon SB-800 speed light without damage to the pins? I can't tell if the tapered ramp area is wide enough to accommodate the pins on the bottom of the speed light.
The tapered area is for the spring loaded locking pin, the rest of the pins are already tapered at the tip, so it makes no difference. I have this and am happy to use it with my SB-910

question
is this or the Joby Universal Flash Shoe thinner?
The Joby measures 1.9 x 1.2 x 0.5 (30 x 29 x 11 mm) - we don't have specs for the Vello but the Joby looks to be a little shallower. The flash may sit a few millimeters lower.
