The E-TTL Off-Camera Flash Extension Cord is an extremely useful accessory for Canon EOS series digital & 35mm film SLR cameras, allowing an external flash to be used away from the camera. The flash can be located as far as 3 feet away from the camera and still perform all the automatic functions possible with flash photography.
Using an off-camera flash provides the photographer with the flexibility to direct light from a variety of angles, allowing simple but effective fill lighting for balancing outdoor shots or hiding shadows under harsh indoor lights. An off-camera flash is also an effective primary light source when less direct lighting is desired.
Customer Review: TTL flash cord for Cannon Rebel Digital camera
Excellent quality for the cost. It would cost 2-3 times more in a camera shop.
Customer Review: Poor build quality
I had two significant problems with this cord. It doesn't maintain function when you use a 580exII fully locked on the hot shoe. If you only slide the locking mechanism over halfway you can get the synch function but flash wasn't secure. My first shoot with this cord was a wedding. Halfway through the reception the hotshoe on the cord became loose from the bottom portion where it connects to a flash bracket. Bottom line if you are planning to use a 580exII save your money get canon or another brand. It worked okay with my 430ex but after the bracket connecter started to wobble that rendered it useless.
