This is the best thumb grip on the market

It was scratched, NOT NEW

There are significant scratches. Obviously, it was used before. Second-hand item should not be sold as NEW.

How do I make this fit around the M2's bulb sync port? It is directly below the cold shoe and the only way I can think to do it is remove the rubber strip, but even then, it still does not fit all the way into the cold shoe mount, not to mention no longer protecting the finish on the top cover. Any suggestions?
Asked by: Chris
Dan - Thanks for the info, the product description says it is compatible with the M2. I suppose I'll put in for a refund, any way you can put in a request to update the product description accordingly?
