Yep. I've tried that, mainly to test my theory. The theory sticks, but the tape don't :-) I think I need a more permanent solution. One that doesn't involve taping the flash or the bracket every time I mount it. That's why I've been thinking about drilling holes in the bracket to ensure the pins don't make contact with the metall. What do you think, does this sound like a good solution?
