Do I have to stick VELCRO ® Brand on my flash?
No you don’t . . .
Over the years it has become apparent to us that some photographers are concerned about/reluctant to use self adhesive VELCRO® Brand on their flash units. As a result we added the UltraStrap, the strongest product of it's kind on the market. UltraStrap's unique patent-pending design features loops that stretch and apply even pressure to hold it firmly in place on the flash head. Allowing all your VELCRO® accesories to attach to your flash head while still retaining the same strength as VELCRO® adhesive.
So, when you are ready to remove the UltraStrap, it leaves no adhesive residue on the flash.
While the UltraStrap is a very reasonable option, we’d like to offer the following regarding attachment alternatives:
- Self adhesive VELCRO ® Brand is unquestionably the least expensive and most secure attachment option.
- It can be removed (with some effort) and the residue cleans off with Goo Gone adhesive remover (it can slightly dull the finish).
- The negative effect on used flash
resale value is negligible since, as mentioned, the residue can
be removed and, in reality, the value of a functioning 1-2 year
old flash is a fraction of its purchase price, especially if the
model has been superseded (check out eBay).
We offer this information not to imply that there are bad decisions, only options...an informed decision is a better decision
