Canon 580EX Broken shoe

jeffreaux2 · April 6, 2011

I broke the hot shoe/ foot off the bottom of my 1st gen 580EX last week. Ive seen that part for cheap before, but can't remember where.

Any ideas?:dunno

I think that this is what you're looking for:

Yes, they have great ResellerRatings:

P.S. This is the genuine Canon replacement part. I do not recommend the cheaper copies because they seem "too" cheap and probably prone to breakage.

I believe there is a way to change out just the show and not the whole bottom assembly.

I found this tute....

I dont coddle the gear as well as I should. Im suprised It lasted this long!!! One blown over light stand and she's toast!.
