I just sold all my Sony stuff, but there was a kludge to make it work with cables. I used two adapters, the Sony adp-maa and the Vello hsa-csc:

The latter has a standard pc socket (that works with the old Sony/Minolta hot shoe). The A7-series has the new multi interface shoe, so you need the ADP-MAA as well. Ugly, but I made it work.
Another option, indoors, is to use a small flash, like the HVL 20, to trigger the strobe optically. I also used that method. In the end however, it was too much pain and fiddling, not only with the strobes, but with AF and ergonomy (or lack thereof), so I sold it all and got a 1DX mkII and took a big sigh of relief
