Any of you guys have a solution for keeping that damn terminal cap from coming off? I've lost 2 already. Glue?

for some reason i cant take mine off which is great!

Mine didn't come with one and I had to buy one. It's never come off and I am not even going to think of it. Knock wood.

Gaffer tape.

I'm out of gaffer tape. I think I might try just a tiny bit of Elmer's "school" glue. I'm never gonna use that terminal anyway.

Well, different strokes to different folks, but if I couldn't get to the cable release terminal I'd be a lost puppy, and I'd want access to the terminal for tethered shooting, even though I rarely use it! I'd say the tape is a better choice.

I assumed he meant the round terminal cover where the WFT gadget attaches...?

I lost mine a couple weeks ago and had to have my local brick & mortar store order one for me. Gaffer Tape is now firmly holding it in place.

Yes, the round one, not the other ones. I need those.

You can buy replacement or even a new design that cover the hole but also can connect directly to it without remove the cover

The largest I've printed is a 60"x30" canvas print and it looks great. I don't see why you couldn't print larger if desired.

Just rained out of nowhere here, made for some epic clouds.

I'm really out of practice shooting BIF! Especially with my "usual" setup for birds, the 1D3 with the 100-400 and a 1.4x TC -- yesterday I was at a meetup in Olympia, WA with POTN friends and we met at a lake with a lot of gulls and I decided to grab the "rig" and catch some flying. No support and I was just too shaky waving the gear around overhead!

A few shots survived, but not as good as I wished:
