Nex 5n does not have normal flash hot shoe - you will need to buy an adapter.

Yes, I've already tried using the mounted original flash as a trigger for the Metz, but what I need is a simple radio trigger (that actually works and maybe someone tested) that I can use without the orginal sony flash, more or less something like the one kuuan linked |

Be careful of the trigger voltage of the Metz, if high, it could fritz a remote trigger as easy as fritzing your camera.
If you didn't want the light from your Sony's flash affecting the exposure or lighting, then put it on manual and reduce the power to minimum, the metz will still trigger and will be the dominant light.

OP, have you gotten your situation figured out, yet?
i've been using the fotodiox wonderburst for a few months now to trigger my yong nuo 565EX and it works great. the build quality isn't great and all power will have to be adjusted manually but other than that, it does what it needs to.
