Pros: - really good quality (no cheap feeling at all) - good price (almost 3x cheaper than original Canon's version) - very easy to use and very handy - everything fits perfectly in hot shoe - no communication problems between body and flash unit
Cons: Not found so far even if I'm using it pretty often.
Other Thoughts: DX should sell also same quality versions with longer coord (I know YN is making them).
Bottomline: Really worth of buying and very helpfull if someone wants to get better results with flash. Great quality to price ratio.
Pros: It is simple and easy to setup and use. I have been using this product to do macro photography where the light is not coming from above and this cord allows me to move the flash around without a fixed harness. Very sturdy build, however, a little more cord would be nice. It works fine with my speedlite 430 EX II and Canon 500D. I had intended to also use it handheld a little further away, however, I guess I'll have to utilize a PocketWizard for those situations. Unbeatable price.
Cons: The cord is too short.
Bottomline: THE EASE OF USE and the advantage of consistently great photography, this set-up will make you a believer.
Pros: If this one works, it should be a good cord to buy. The price is better than most of the branded cord. The length is enough for you to raise the flash with one arm.
Cons: but mine doesn't fit to my hot shoe, I have a canon 40d, I also tried it on canon 5d mark II. The connector for the camera hot shoe is slightly too big. I can't even push it all the way in. Just doesn't fit. I guess if I force it harder, it might get in the hot shoe, but it also might break my hot shoe & so hard to take out.
Other Thoughts: The built quality looks ok.
Bottomline: But if it doesn't even fit in the hot shoe, what's the use of it?
Pros: Works just like when the flash is on the camera.Metering works properly.No sync related problems.Excellent build quality.Quick release is handy for attaching to camera.Tripod screw mount is handy for mounting to second tripod.
Cons: Cord could be longer, but then it would get in the way for flash-bracket use.
Other Thoughts: It would be nice if DealExtreme sold some off-camera flash brackets. I couldn't find any on here.
Bottomline: If you have a Canon camera with a TTL or E-TTL flash, get it!
