I use the Off-Camera Shoe Cord a lot, handholding the flash for precise control, both for macros and for portraits. Typically the camera is on a tripod, so I have a free hand. Now Canon did put a dead hot shoe foot on the bottom of the flash end so you can mount it on a bracket, but I wish they had put a dead female end on top of the camera end box. Reason being when handholding the flash there's no place to put it between shots, and I don't want to leave it dangling on the OCSC2.
I'm thinking of attaching such a unit to the top of the on-camera terminal, perhaps with epoxy, but I'm a little nervous about the strength of the joint, loading the hotshoe too much, etc. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter? I can't be the only one who's thought about this! Do you have any other solutions for lodging the flash when not in use?
