The more I practice the more I think most of the issue is with my
technique.
The main worry now is the tight bend the tubing had to make. But it's working
the way I've rigged it. I guess an elbow fitting would be a smart thing to
look for.
Do you know how the flash setup is supposed to be? At the top of the
shutter
are two wires. One is soldered in place. One is soldered to a small piece of
metal that is loose. Not sure if it's broken loose or if it's supposed to be
that way. Some how I doubt it left the factory that way. OTOH maybe it was a
latter mod to the shutter.
