I got this cable to connect an external flash to Sony Nex 6 and 7. The electronics are reliable and it is made of high quality material with a durable cable. The problem with this unit is that the cable sticks out rigidly from the hot shoe and gets in the way of the lens, especially a short lens. I had to use a thick rubber band to bend the cable sideways just enough to avoid the problem - too much back bending blocks the viewfinder and turns off the LCD. Hopefully I can hold the rubber bandโฆ
