I have a question. How is the ir red plastic cover held on to the flash unit? I have two of these and both of those covers are not tight, they have some movement if you touch them. Not a lot, but it doesn't seem to be glued on.

Mine's pretty tight. I can feel a very tiny bit of movement if I press firmly and try to move it in multiple directions. I imagine it just snaps on using plastic tabs on the red thingy. If its not falling off....leave it. If it bugs you you can try to get a bit of super glue on the tip of a pin under the junction.

Its not a lot of movement in fact. Can feel ot sometimes when handling it. In fact the black plastic cover above it has slight movement too.

No movement at all in my case ... even when I apply a bit of force.

Unless you use IR commands for Master/Slave, to use the 430EX as an optical slave, it really does not matter.

Mine (2) don't move at all, with reasonable pressure and side force.

I use the Flash Commander with the 60D for quickie photos with OCF. For all others I use Yongnuo 622 T/C triggers.

they look to be held on by a clip at either end, see: http://i.ebayimg.com …/mVkAAOSwiCRUiN​kA/$_1.JPG (external link)


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
