Excellent backup cable in flash accessory

In the photographic industry it is very important to have backups in case something goes wrong. It was received quickly and worked as I expected.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • No instructions

Decent value, works

Fine. It would be nice if the zip tie was more collapsible in case the socket you plug it into isn't deep enough or doesn't have threads.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Works great with my Canon camera and flash

Works great, shipped overnight! I like the fact that it has a screw mount that needs to be tightened - unfortunately the screw mount is not compatible with my Canon camera and flash.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Expensive

These flash sync cords are hard to find but this one is perfect. It has both a standard friction fit and a mounting screw option if your camera or flash has that capability. It's a beautifully coiled cord that stretches easily to fit a camera with a flash grip, like the setup I use with my old Hasselblad with a Zeiss lens that has a female sync mount.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Quality

I really wanted to like it because I really believe in it.

I really wanted to like it because I'm a firm believer that sometimes you shouldn't buy branded stuff. Yesterday I used these cables for an hour and a half and the cable that was properly attached to my camera body came off right on my head. I filmed and looked down and the cord was just dangling there. Clearly it wasn't overwork, I was just filming a wedding and all that nonsense. Super bum, it didn't work. But if you're filming something on location, do yourself a favor and buy a big-name…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

I would buy again as locally sold out.

Works as advertised (with 580EX II). The wire seems to be of better quality than what I got with my bag maker. The locking mechanism is strong and keeps the connection intact even when pulled. Will definitely buy again. Delivery was quick. The only downside is that I bought a 3 piece set. It only came with a carrying case, which was odd. EDIT: December 6th, 2014 As others have stated, the screw connector came loose immediately after a month of use. I'm ordering another set as the other two I…

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Only available in black

My advice to anyone doing a review is that if you find a better quality version of these cables please include the make/model number information and the location where it can be found. If I stumble across one (while the other two brands did just as badly), I'll update my review with the same information. So, here's what I like about these cables: 1. This is one of the few 3.5mm PC sync cables with screw connectors for PC sync that I've been able to find online. There are other, better known…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some defects
