I don't understand why you need a locking pin?

On the flash units I've used (admittedly Canon) they just have a ring
that tightens down onto the hotshoe to keep it in place. I don't
remember what mechanism the Pentax flash I used to own had. hell i can't
remember the name of the flash, the one I adapted to fire in high
ambient light on the LX.... Oh brother, brain cells depleting rapidly now....
