Attaching LumiQuest Accessories
Do I have to stick Velcro 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 on their flash units. As a result we added the Cinch Strap, a non adhesive Velcro loop, to our product line. While it works fine, it IS easily removable. It can be made more secure by simply applying a couple of drops of super glue at the point where it connects to itself.
So, when you are ready to remove the Cinch Strap, it leaves no adhesive residue on the flash.
While the Cinch Strap is a very reasonable option, we’d like to offer the following regarding attachment alternatives:
- Self adhesive Velcro 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the value of a functioning 1-2 year old flash is a fraction of its purchase price, especially if the model has been superseded (check out eBay).
- And lastly, we have recently converted to Ultra Mate, a sleek, low profile, more attractive Velcro product.

informed decision is a better decision.
