Hi
I have now repositioned the camera tray. It gave a little bit more space, and with a careful sanding of the hot shoe connector, I think everything will work out fine. If not, I will be in touch again.
It might be good for you to know, though, why the connector was displaced. As it happpened during dives, no precheck routine could intercept it. When I looked at the camera sideways, it was fairly clear that using the buttons on the top right of the housing (the focus point selector or flash lock button) the camera tilted slightly, but enough forward to slightly press the connector out of the hot shoe. Not always very much, but often enought to make strobes act weird from time to time. Just a couple of mm more of pocket would be enough to stop this from happening.
Cheers
