I used a bit of bubblewrap behind the flashgun to stop it rattling around.
Apart from that, nothing. In use it gets strapped to the flash bracket. I've
added AA cells external to the DF120 but inside the Otterbox to power it,
giving me three times the charge of the AAAs it uses instead, and which also
makes it less floaty. Small lead weights as used by fishing folk inside or
outside the box could be used if needed.

I got my otterbox and df120 this week too.
Guess what I'll be doing this weekend?
I'll post a link to share the outcome.
