Does it wear out the flash mount and hot shoe faster when shooting a big flash on hot shoe especially when you always switch from horizontal to vertical orientation(& vice versa) in a swift manner? Most good flashes are of significant weight, but it is made of plastic. And the hot shoe too, if damaged duno whether it would affect the connection :dunno:
Stress on flash mount/hot shoe

I have heard about some issues with the hotshoe connector at the flash .. but never about a hotshoe on the camera giving way. I guess the camera manufacturer did some proper homework there. Secondly: don't underestimate the strength of certain types of plastic.
Wah?! Carry whole rig by the flash is really too much man...
.
But I supposed the body hot shoe can support the whole flash lah. I always switch the orientation fast and was kinda feeling paranoid after a while. Scared one day the flash drop off.:bsmilie:
