Is the PC Sync socket on the S2 one of the locking variety? I.E. Nikon "screw lock" or "push lock"
I hate having these things fall out. Especially on rotating brackets!

"Fits Nikon F2, F3, F4, FA, FM, FM2, FM , SB24, SB25, SB26, and all Nikon cameras and strobes with the screw in housing. Also fits Cannon A1, Quantum Radios, Wein Infra Red, Wein products and some Minolta light meters. (Be aware that your equipment may have a screw-in feature; check the PC sync housing carefully for a fine internal thread inside the metal housing surrounding the PC.)"

"Fits older classic Nikon cameras that had a internal spring loaded locking mechanism. Excellent for most Nikon cameras, this tip has a heavier metal housing and locks in without the use of the screw-in feature. Can also be used with other professional cameras when clearance is not a problem."
