The reason for the flimsy hotshoe foot is exactly what you said - If you drop the camera, the flash foot will break away. This is considered cheaper than ripping a hole in the pentaprism of you camera.

I tried the little lighting tents from Maplins - cost around £12 - ok for very small items.
I then cought a pasting table and chopped it in half and the hinge, then mounted the extra half ontot he long side, giving a wider table to use. I now have enough room to postion lights etc, plus I can...
Built 3 or 4 of them, but not happy with the quality.
Bought mine from Argos - 2 sizes available.
The ones on eBay look better, but cost about £15 more depnding on the size.
