So you are sitting in front of your SB-600 wondering how you can get it open?
I had the same issue. Upfront I need to tell you that you might loose your warrantie if you open the Speedlight by yourself so don’t blame me if you broke your Speedlight.
Before we start I need to tell you a little story to that. A while back Cosmo and I had been on a shooting with our friends from Fast Division. Later the day it got a little windey and Cosmo’s Flash fell over and the zoom was broken. Sad story cause the Flash was only a few days old. But the really weird part was, when I came home to show Cosmo my flash my zoom was also broken showing the same weird noise and no movement. Weird cause I didn’t use the flash all day and it was also broken. So we tried to find out how we can open the flash to check what was wrong. I have to admit my flash was in the corner since this day and I haven’t touched it. So today I found some time trying to find out how to open it and check what was wrong.
To open it it is actually not that hard once you found your screws. You just need a screwdriver, knife and some glew. There is 10 screws that need to be removed. The first 2 screws are just bellow the head (PICTURE1). But now the funny part. 4 screws are hidden below the push-button (PICTURE2) and the other 4 opposite from the push-button behind a rubber cover (PICTURE4). You have to remove the push-button and this rubber cover with a small knife slowly. Bellow the covers you will find the other 8 screws you were looking for (PICTURE4). When you removed them you can easily pop the speedlight open and check what’s wrong in there. When you finished you might want to remove the old glew from your rubber covers and put some new glew on them. That’s it!
I can not tell you how to fully fix your flash cause it can be thousand different things. In my case it was quite easy cause the little electric motor was popped out so it couldn’t move the flashbulb anymore. I need to check if this is the same problem on Cosmo’s flash but I heard that often little plastic parts breaking out which you might be able to glew back on yourself or not.
A while back I worked on a Video full of time lapse material and its not yet finished but I want to show you another part of it. You may have already seen “Dont watch your neighbors” which is also part of the full video. Until I finish it and I am happy with it you gonna enjoy this short clip.

the last weekend was to short as usual but also packed with lots of things to be done.
It all started with the Birthday party of my little cousin which ended up of being a crazy and nasty
halloween party with some crazy and scary visitors. The night was short so we had to get up early
to head down to Dresden to visit some friends. After some big greek diner the night ended really late and really wet but because we are young we dont need much sleep so the next morning we went to see a park called the “BAROCKGARTEN GROßSEDLITZ”. At lunchtime we had to leave and the day ended with a small shooting for a BMX Racing newcomer.
I would say this whole weekend was quick and dirty.
