The suction cups just don't seem to hold very well, even after swabbing the screen with a wipe and I'm a little reluctant to press too hard on my LCD screen to try and get them to stick better. When it lets loose the cable tends to turn it. I've thought about attaching some wire legs to it and just let it rest against the screen which tilts back a bit. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

I was thinking if I held it in place it may not take a true ambient read due to shading by my hand. cdifoto wrote: Lick the suction cups. I suppose that would help and swab the screen after. Yuk, spittle on the screen Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

Besides, the forward looking sensors are in the middle so you can hold it at top and/or bottom without blocking them. Elie / אלי

That settles it. I'll just hold my Huey and not lick it. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.
