Thanks for the link, figure I'll order a couple and convert one to be the hotshoe support for the Wireless remote shutter release (external link) since it's bugging me to have the reciever dangling in its cord.

Glad to help, I was lucky my wireless remote has the hot shoe mount built into the receiver.

Well the price difference kinda scared me off from using the phottix cleon.
Here in Denmark the going rate is $80 compared to the $30 from POTN shop, so the choice was made with no second decission.

The "cleon" design is a genric design that has been rebadged by Phottix, you should be able to get it on ebay for less than 20 bucks http://cgi.ebay.com …motes&hash=item​45f3e5d288 (external link)

The mark up on some these items are huge, even the POTN type remote is overpriced.

In 45 years of SLR photography, I've never seen the need for a hot shoe cover and I still don't see the need now...

Same here although I have not been shooting quite that long.

I just had the most outragious result from this order, instead of recieving three hotshoe bubble spirit, guess what I found in my mail today...

Three quickrelease plates..

Who would have thought they would mess up an order like that... :confused:

On the other hand, paying $3 for a quickreleasee plate isn't the most expensive :D

Thought about it, but then figured Id be a hassle to keep track of then I actually had to use the hotshoe so I never got one. Kinda silly anyway, not really necessary.

Wow they are about USD 40 each, they are not even listed on the dealextreme website.

Sounds like an opportunity to sell them on POTN at a large savings to POTN members and a considerable profit for you!

I have never used them or felt the need. But I have to say that bubble level that Iannes posted is a pretty little trinket, like camera jewelry.
