Faster battery replacement for flash...

Faster and easier! I started arranging my spare flash batteries ahead of time so when it comes time to changing them out, I just drop them in and go. So, I thought I'd pass on my method in hopes that it will help others!:D

I found that my wife's hair "thingies" (:dunno) work very well. Rubber Bands are too resistant (sticky!)...

I tie the batteries together in the correct orientation (+ and -), and offset them by 1/2 a battery - same configuration as the flash...

When I'm ready to swap, I just dump out the old ones and drop in the new ones!

Once the batteries are in the holes, just push them in and the band slides right off...
