Hello fellow divers
I have a underwater housing (Canon WP-DC28) for my Canon Powershot G10 camera.
And I have just bought a Intova Pixtreme PX-21 Underwater Strobe Flash.
Problem is, when I try to attach the underwater housing to the base of the external flash unit it does not fit. On the small hard plastic mount on the metal base, there is a small edge that gets in the way of the mount of the underwater housing. So it is impossible to screw the two pieces together. (please see images)
I have tried to turn the plastic mount several ways but the hole on the plastic mount and the hole of the underwater housing just don't match.
I have asked the supplier and they suggest to grind the edge off!?
I suppose the edge is there to stabilize the underwater housing so it doesn't turn from side to side. So grinding it off would surely spoil the whole idea of having the strobe fixed to the camera.
Have any of you experienced this and might you have a solution?
I really hope somebody can help me otherwise I can't use the external flash unit when diving!
Thanks
