Instead<br \/>\nof using his big rubber bands I went with a Velcro design. The attached photos should<br \/>\nshow if fairly well. It&#8217;s simply 10-1\/4&#8243; of the fuzzy side of sticky hook &amp; loop material<br \/>\non the outside and about 9&#8221; of &#8220;3M&#8221; rubbery shelf liner on the inside. I used a piece<br \/>\nof double sided carpet tape to attach the shelf liner to the foam bounce card, and of<br \/>\ncourse, added a one inch piece of the hook material at the end. This really makes it<br \/>\nquick to attach and remove. As you can see I applied this to your flag idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Please forgive the background, I was outside enjoying an ice tea at the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/lighting\/8U8O3358.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This idea of how\u00a0to modify that black foam half-snoot that I use to flag my speedlight with, was sent to me by Randall Todd.\u00a0 It allows the flag to be attached to the speedlight much easier than my\u00a0less sophisticated\u00a0method of using hair-bands. &#8220;I have made and used Peter Gregg&#8217;s ABBC and found it to be&nbsp;<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/modifying-a-modifier\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read more inside&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,16,1],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[4482,9139,9141,5633,6743,9138,2584],"class_list":{"0":"post-141","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-flash-photography","8":"category-gear","9":"category-uncategorized","10":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48646,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/48646"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
