Repairing the hot shoe on a Canon DSLR Repairing the hot shoe on a Canon DSLR

During a wedding shoot one day I noticed that my flash was only firing occasionally. After the initial panic, I quickly figured out that if I held the flash with a little counter-clockwise tension, then the flash worked fine.

We needed to try these out and see if they were worth the extra cost.
