Is there any option besides velcro to attach the transmitter to the camera or flash? i was thinking maybe an adhesive clip that will fit on the transmitter and clip on to the neck strap.

Rubber bands? They always work, and if not they won't do harm or leave marks :)

Well I am looking for something a little more professional looking since I shoot weddings. I have some bungee cords that may work though.

Indeed the rubber bands don't look professional. :( Maybe something like this - http://m2.sourcingmap.​com …_a09071500ux000​5_ux_n.jpg (external link)
Similar but in black, would not be so obvious to see.

"Urban" beauty supply stores.


No bragging list - I just rent whatever the job requires.

I made these for my cycbersyncs. They are a mp3 holder that i found at a $1.00 store. Then add the grommet for the hole. I use the loop to just hang right off my lights stands. and works well.

I've got the situation under control for the receivers on the light stands. I went with the cheap lanyard idea looped around the battery door. I am just trying to attach the transmitter to the on camera flash.

So you just want to attach the CST to the camera? Why aren't you just attaching it to the hotshoe?

I am planning on using the transmitter while having a 430ex on the hot shoe.

Get black and it won't look quite as "cheap" as the tan colored ones.

Yeah, plenty of uses. I've been using them with my Cybersyncs for a while now.

Hmmm. I live 12 miles away from Case Logic's HQ and factory. I might have to go on a recon mission....
