I just got my Canon S90 with OEM housing and Ultramax strobe (woo hoo!). The fiber optic sync cord mounts to the housing with the 3M Dual Lock clear adhesive strips. I've searched and read umpteen threads here, on digital diver and wet pixel, but still have some questions. I've also read the Reef Photo instructional article on using these types of mounts and it is much better than the manufacturer's instructions that came with the sync cord.
First, the 3M Dual Lock strips are clear. If I decide to not use my slave strobe, would the internal strobe on my camera still be effective with the clear Dual Lock strip over the housing window for the internal strobe? If so, I'll just use the 3M stuff for mounting my sync cord.
On the other hand, if the 3M strip on the housing makes the internal strobe ineffective (and I'm not using my slave strobe), I want to make a different mount for the sync cord. I'm looking for some type of set screw or Inon type clamp that I can attach to a DIY, non tranparent, cover for the internal strobe, then clamp the fiber optic cord to the cover. Any ideas?
