Summary: Essential equipment for ALL canon EOS like 30D,40D,Rebels,etc
Comment: This small item is one of those very useful accessories that everyone should have.Getting the flash off your camera makes a huge difference in your photos. That said, people seem to have problems in keeping it working; I use care in operating but have had mine for 2 years with no problems. Works great on my Canon EOS DSLRs, and I highly recommend. It also works on the film cameras; I don't know why this is listed as oly for the Pro1 & G series.

Summary: Okay but can break easily. Bought 2 both broke.
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2WY8W0TVWP584 This is a good product. However, caveat emptor (buy beware), the build of this product isn't the best. It's made of plastic and the part of the cord that is attached to your bracket can break very easily when your camera and flash are horizontal. The weight of the flash (and your diffuser) can break the plastic that keeps it in place.

I recommend screwing this piece in place to a bracket such as the Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket. Hope this review helps.

Summary: Great device
Comment: I had used the off camera shoe code for years with my 35mm equipment. Waited too long before buying this one for my digital gear, but am happy I finally bought it. I have a stroboframe bracket and it gets the flash up high enough above the camera that the shadows disappear along with the red eye problem. I bought this in combination with a Omni-bounce flash diffuser, which I had also used in the past and was very satisfied with the results.

You can't go wrong with the Canon off shoe cord, it's very handy and works like a champ.

Summary: Does what it's supposed to
Comment: Does what it's supposed to. The price is a little bit on the costly side considering it's just a wire. Of cource it's needed if you are going to do off camera shoe flash photography with a dedicated Canon flash.

Summary: Good piece to have....
Comment: but I agree with other reviews - should be more reliable - seems very flimsy and will have a short lifespan.
