I'm always a bit nervous about single points of failure when traveling to far flung locations. Some things can't be helped, like I can't really justify packing two housings or two OM-1 bodies but I'm wondering about this little gadget that connects the hotshoe to the strobe trigger. If that breaks (or gets lost), then I can't fire the strobes at all, which is kindof unfortunate. I guess I should get a spare eventually, but I'm wondering how much of a priority it is. Has anybody had one stop working on them? The not-losing-it I understand is my problem. I did read the thread about not working with certain lenses in RC mode.

I have a spare that I bring in my Save A Dive (photography) Kit. It’s good insurance because if you need it, you need it. I also have a spare o-ring for my housing, and a set for ports.

I also have a spare, but it's the 01 version that's manual only. $50 from Backscatter seemed like cheap insurance, cheaper than the extra fiber optic cable I also bring.
