How to break a Z220s

  1. How to break a Z220s

    DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

     

    1. Decide to use a nonstandard mounting method (I'm using loc-line arms).

    2. Purchase bolt to fit the thread of the mounting point.

    3. Measure bolt, discover it is too long.

    4. Select spacing washers to pack under the head of the bolt (to compensate for extra length).

    5. Assemble non-standard mounting.

    6. Tighten.

    7. Test for stiffness, tighten some more.

     

    Oops!!! :shock:

     

    8. Swear, scratch head :x

    9. Find spacing washers still on the table. :oops:

     

    Lesson: If the bolt is too long, tightening it WILL force the mounting point away from the body of the strobe. Enough force will break the mounting off the body.

     

    So now it's going back to Inon for a new case. At my expense, of course.
