| Post subject: | Small issue with the SLFA |
Hi, I received my order this week and used everything (cc, einstein, speedlite with receiver...) yesterday night for the first time. I have to say I'm really amazed by the ease of use of everything, including the cc/meter and everything. The CC and Einstein combination is incredible. There is one issue I'm having and their might be an easy fix for it, the SpeedLight Foot Adapter. After a few hours of shooting, I noticed that my speedlight, which I aimed upwards, was sliding off the foot. Why isn't there a locking mechanism of any kind on it? Is there an easy fix for this that people found? Is it possible to do a little hole in it for the Nikon locking mechanism? Sure, I could turn the head of my speedlight around and have it slide downwards as a solution, but I'm a bit protective of my equipement and I would hate to have a 500$ speedlight fall 6'. Thanks, |

The actual locking mechanism is located on the flash units. It's a generic hotshoe, and different brands lock differently. Most models now have a locking pin that is spring loaded, meaning the pressure lock can be activated, even if there is no pin hole. I see no harm in drilling a hole, if you have the tools to do so. Just be sure as you break into the open cavity inside, you are careful to not drill into one of the contact wires. |

Thank you! I will most likely try to do that little whole. |
