That's strange...my OCSC2 has the groove...and it fits my Hama folding
bracket. But if your cord is missing the proper groove, you can buy a
small ball head to fit between the bracket and the OCSC2. I have a couple
of these (no brand on them...they are not expensive) that are made
specifically to mount flashes. They can be mounted in a hot shoe or they
are threaded to mount on a tripod or light stand. At the top is a shoe for
your flash.
