anyone know if a way to lock this sucker on the camera. I've seen the "tie wrap" idea and will do that if thats the only option left.
So far I like em just not the fact it falls off easy.

Not sure how often they might need replaced - just keep an eye on them for any tears in the "O" ring rubber.

"O" rings seem to work so much better and aren't really that expensive.

I have plenty and I tell you want I can literally hold the trigger by itself and shake the crap out of the camera and it doesn't budge. Stronger then the canon flash lock on my 430exII I swear.

Jul 07, 2013 21:23 | #9 I've been doing great with a couple of my daughter's 1" diameter elastic bungee-style rubber bands for her hair. They aren't as high friction as a regular rubber band, and two loops around the shoe allows for easy install and a good secure fit. I just haven't taken the time to head out to my shop to dig through my o rings yet. 1D MkIV | 1D MkIII | 550D w/grip & ML| EF 70-200mm f2.8L| EF 24-105mm f4L IS | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC | 430EXii | EF 50mm f1.8
