YS-D1 mode switch move during the dive

[hezishohat]

Hi

I have a pair of Sea&Sea YS-D1
the mode switch move sometimes to TTL or to Pre Flash mode accidentally.
I think this is a known issue
do you have an idea how to make its harder to move?

Thanks, Hezi

I doubt they move spontaneously. Mine move, when I bump them adjusting light output.
Get a D2? Harder to move accidentally.

OK. Not spontaneously
but too often
I will try to do something so it wont move easily

I've gotten better at noticing when it mis-flashes because I've bumped it. I dive cold water, heavy gloves, with generally low viz so it's even more challenging.

OK, I think I just keep using it and pay attention
Inon just add a new strobe, 330 replace the 240
so maybe.... mayby S&S will surprised with YS-D3

What I do is tape the knob to the position I want. No problems

can't tap it permanently, I'ts also the On/Off switch... but I will use something to keep the position

The best way is to use some velcro tape, male on the switch, female on the body.
