I dropped my Nissin Di866 flash out of my camera bag this morning and (luckily) the red sensor cover got broken. Thankfully, the flash seems to work fine. I've put a bit of sellotape across the bottom to keep the broken bits in place, but I'm a bit annoyed with myself as I've only had it for a few weeks. So, the flash functions fine, but cosmetically, I'm not happy with it.

Basically, I want to know if anyone has had to have their Nissin flash repaired and how they've gone about it. I only need the red cover and I'll be happy again. Although, I think the little lugs that keep the cover in place have snapped off and are now ratlling around inside the flash body.

All comments appreciated.
 
I tried ebay but there aren't any on there at the moment. I've also emailed Nissin themselves and their UK distributor so am awaiting a response from them.

It's my new toy and I'm just seeking answers which may help me sleep better tonight :D

All the same, I'm relieved it still works - despite the fact that when it fell I thought it was fine as it was inside the case and seemed to land flat.
 
Just an update. Kenro, the UK distributor, has replied to my email and have quoted £4 inc. P&P for the part. I think that's very reasonable indeed. Thumbs up to Nissin from me!!

Thanks for your replies guys. :thumbs:
