"Some people may find pen-hold grip with flashing f56 can not be inclined to hit the rear of the change on to the ramp to the rear it can play"

:faint:


a word of caution on modding/opening up such equipment - watch out for the capacitors, they can give a nasty high-voltage shock.

Hope my poor translation skill works..

1. Preparing necessory tools,
- electronic grinder (This modification will require a lot of work in grinding, so it will be quite challenging if you do not have an electronic grinder).
- cross-type screw driver (both 2.5mm and 3.0mm)
- plier

2. Lift the head up and turn it to 90 degress angle as shown in the picture. Use the 3.5mm screw driver remove ONLY the 2 screws located at the front half of the flash (remove left then follow by the right). Do not remove the screws located in the rear half of the flash.

3. Turn the flash down. Use a 2.5mm screw driver and remove the screws located around the hotshoe mount.

4. After removing the screws, turn the head back to original position and ensure there is a sound heard.

5. Remove the 4 wirings using plier (also can use hand)

6. The bottom section should be removable by now.

7. Lift the front section, may get some help by using the screw driver. Making sure both left and right side are remove at a same pase (lift a bit on the right then a bit on the left) until the whole piece come out. Remove the wiring on the left (on the picture) and remove the component using a 2.5mm screw driver (right side arrow on the picture)

8. This should be how it look like when the front section is removed.

9. Use the electronic grinder and grind away the unwanted part in the middle of the picture (grinding remains seen on the picture). Grinding to the middle, the flashhead should be able to turn until 120 degrees, grind further more, it can turn all the way to the back.

10. Follow step 1 to 7 and slowly put the components back.

11. There a tiny spring at the battery compartment, make sure it is in place or else the front section cannot fix back properly. Fix the front section back in place, might be a bit tight when fixing back. Make sure you do the wires are out of your way. The wires should be arrange back to the original state, or else the pressure might spoil some of the components.

12. Put back the 4 wiring. All are in different sizes, but it should be an easy task.

13. Put back the bottom section. Making sure that no wires are in the way.

14. Put back all the screws to where they belong, and you are done with the modification!
