Canon A620, WP-DC90 - strobe mask setup

[amajamar]

Anyone willing to post a pic of their A620 and WP-DC90 that has the Sea & Sea strobe mask installed?

I want to make sure I am positioning the sensor properly and looking for the ideal place to install the velcro strips.

I'm setting mine up for the first time, as I am headed to Aruba next week.

Thanks in advance!!

(I posted this in the strobes forum, as well!)

The idea is to have the hole in the aluminum part they supplied in the kit directly in front of the flash, but that's not as critical as it might sound. As long as you are relatively close the flash output will hit the tip of the fiber optic cable because the clear plastic that the housing is made of will also carry light just like the cable will.
I wasn't that pleased with the way they expected it to be done when I ordered my strobes about 18 months ago so built a better system for the housing I had, and just did it again for my newest one.

Well, I'm impressed! How about you make one for me? I'll be happy to pay you $25 for one, LOL!!


I'm afraid I don't have the aptitude to make something like that, but that's awesome!


I also want to spend, like, 20 minutes doing it...


Should I cover the little orange focus light? Probably not, huh.

What do you think about just siliconing the little black receptical to the housing and just blacking out the inside of the housing with electrical tape?

Would silicone stick well enough?

In the case of my G9 set up I have the focus light blocked but after seeing where it is placed in my housing I just can't see that it would work anyway. As for the idea with the black tape & silicone I suspect it would work as long as the plastic is properly cleaned with alcohol or something like that, plus you could use a piece of tape over it all once the silicone has cured.
