I just checked and it doesn't appear to have one. It just has the wheel-type fastener that you turn to tighten the flash down onto the hot shoe. I'm sure part of the reason is that I don't like to tighten it down too much, because it's a real pain in the ass to remove if you do. It's just one

Thank you, Bruce. I have to say, the flash performed pretty damned well given all the negative things I've heard about PTTL. The biggest issue I had was the flash unit slowly slipping out of the hot shoe over time -- which happened a couple of times throughout the night. Other than that, I th
