I finally got get up............

[480sparky]

Sorry.... title should be "I finally got fed up....."

.... and did something about it!

I got tired of trying to prop my RF triggers in the handle of my monolights.

Every time I moved them, they would fall out and hang by the cord. So I decided to fix this. Down to the candy store I went and picked up a flash stand earlier today. Tonight, I took my MultiTool to it.

Slop on some industrial-grade 2-part epoxy, and stick a shoe right on to the side of the light.

NO MORE flopping-around triggers!

Nice solution! I did this.... Pocket Wizards have a little ear on them where you can put a lanyard... so I ordered these > Amazon.com: COSMOS ® 5 pcs Black Nylon Hand Wrist Strap Lanyard For Camera Cell phone ipod mp3 mp4 PSP Wii and other Electronic Devices + Cosmos cable tie: Cell Phones & Accessories and now just hang the PWs on any of the various protrusions on my lightstands.

Take the film off the DIP switches!

I have the Twin Link triggers and they come with a magnet and magnetic pad for your flash

Take the film off the DIP switches!

Why? Will they work better without it?

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised they haven't gone for them already!

Hope you didn't jinx me....

I let mine dangle too. It's usually slightly to the left though.

I'm old fashioned. Plain old sync cords for me!

(translation: I'm too cheap to spend $20 on a chinese radio trigger)

And I thought I was cheap for spending $20 on a Chinese RF trigger!
