RF-602 Help

[PeteMo]

Just been trying out the Rf-602 trigger i've just bought.

I've attached it to my Yongnou 460 speedlight and then attached both of them to the umbrella adaptor on the the light stand.

However, the RF-602 has no wheel to secure it to the adaptor hotshoe and it feels as thought it'll slip out when the umbrella is angled. It doesn't seem to though BUT I don't think it would take too much of a bump for it to do so.

Does this make sense ?? Anyone had a similar issue ??

No doubt pictures would help explain.

Probably just me being a berk

YOu need either

1. a pinching cold shoe

or

2. A manfrotto style umbrella bracket with a brass stud:

Better umbrella bracket is what I would opt for.

Flash in the pan,or Others have mounts that have clamp type tops. I have both types and use them as required.

Cheers guys,

Think I've sorted it. I just took the hotshoe adaptor off to reveal a thread and screwed the receiver directly onto that. Seems more sturdy.
