| Post subject: | Cyber Commander loose fit on Nikon hot shoe |
I bought the Cyber Commander for use with my Einstiens. When mounting the CC on the camera, it seems like a very loose connection. It doesn't lock into place and slides out too easily. I freak out every time I use it thinking it's going to fall off the camera. Does anyone know of an adapter that I can purchase that could be used to lock the CC more firmly down on the camera? |

For overall convenience, we recommend using a CST (http://www.paulcbuff.com/cst.php) in the hotshoe as the transmitter, and use the Cyber Commander separately on a lanyard or in a pocket for metering and adjusting. If you prefer to use a hotshoe adapter, this one, I would think, would work well. http://www.flashzebra.com/products/0262/index.shtml |

If you want to continue to use your CC in your hotshoe, you could also put a very small bit of gaffer tape on one edge of the hotshoe of your camera body. Craíg http://www.craigwasselphotoart.com |

Thanks so much. Don :D |

Craíg http://www.craigwasselphotoart.com Shimming with gaff tape is also a good idea, but I would probably shim the foot of the CC rather than the hotshoe of the camera. |
