p.1 #1Old(ish) hotshoe flash keeps falling off
Not really a Sony specific issue, but I might as well start here.
I just got a new (to me) used flash, an HVL-F60RM. It performs beautfiully.

BUT

It also keeps falling out of the hotshoe.

I was shooting a wedding a couple days ago and whenever I was in a dash from one end the room to the other I'd end up having to retrieve it from the floor.
​It's old and the hotshoe mount doesn't grip as well.

Do any of you know of some sort of a retention strap thingy? I'm thinking a teeny-weeny bungee cord or somehting that attaches to the flash so when it DOES fall off it's not smacking the concrete floor...?
I can probably whip something up in the garage but it'll look like it was made by a caveman...


​Thanks!

Is the lock pin broken or missing?
