|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Replacing a SB-800 foot Marty Price, Photographer Concord | NC | USA | Posted: 1:40 AM on 11.29.09 ->> Has anybody replaced a SB-800 flash foot? I searched the threads and all I found was a discussion about older models. My flash got hit directly with a stray pass and it bent the metal foot so I need to replace it. Any advice appreciated!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They have replaced the shoe on my Canon flash twice for around $30. Or your local repair shop, if you trust them.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Pull a couple screws, one electrical connector, screw it back together.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I guess I'll send it in, in the meantime I am using it with my D-200 in commander mode and the TTL function is fine. Thanks to everyone for the quick advice!!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I sent a few lenses in with credit card info. They shipped lenses back repaired with an invoice. I sent a check. Such great people.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
