Jim, Julian and All,
I have my OCSC2 in front of me and the connections I have are as follows:
On the body end there is 5-pin connector plus the locking ring.
On the other end there is the 5-pin flash unit receiver and underneath that
is a plain plastic moulding (8mm x 8mm) with a 1/4" threaded tripod socket
. There are no grooves on this moulding, should there be a metal plate on here?
Thanks,
Bob
