Works great for macro gives 1 m comfortable extension
So far its been working great, I can happily rate it 5 out of 5. I will update if I come across any issues or if the cable breaks off.Pros:It is very easy to use, the side mounting on the hot shoe has a lock stays in place, the other side mounts on a normal tripod quick release with 1/4" screw. It is small enough to take with you for outdoors photography or macro. which is what I use it for, doesn't take too much space.Cons:The same last advantage of this cable could be the downside of it depending on what type of use you intend, despite the misleading title, this cable is by no means 3 m!! it is 70 cm from both ends when it is not stretched, when you stretch it to the most reasonable tension it gets 140 cm although it is comfortable tension only up to 1 m. This is less than half of what it has been advertised, if you stretch it any further it could bring down all your setup or might rip off the cable. Now this is not an issue for me as I use it for macro, but if you use it say for portrait work it may be too short to give you adequate working distance.All in all, this works well for me and I don't see any quality issues so far.

So worth the money
As a event/concert/wedding photographer, I rely heavily on my flash unit. Using a flip bracket allows me to keep my light centered and above my subject, and this cord is a absolute necessity when using a flip-bracket. I use to buy the one from Canon, but they're about $70 and would fail in about 6months. Zeikos made a comparable version of the Canon cable for less than 1/2 the price and would last for 2 years. Sadly Zeikos only makes them for Sony now. This cable looks and functions just like the Zeikos model. Although most parts are plastic, it is very rugged and sturdy. I used it to shoot a concert 5 days ago and worked without a hitch. I can't tell you if this will last 6months, or 2 years.. Time will tell. But for now I'm very happy with my purchase.

Some work, but the cord does as promised (in manual mode - at least on my 6D).
It works. I'm thrilled with this. I have a couple of NW/TT580 (Neewer brand) speed lights that I need to control from my Canon 6D. I've had no luck with remotes thus far (please recommend if you have a 6D and the NW580 speed light), so I went the corded route for single flash off-camera control.Why four stars if I'm satisfied? I'm glad you asked because if you have a 6D this may solve your headache. Initially, I had the flash set in TTL mode (both flashes are E-TTL; the cord is as well - should be no problem). Problem right out of the gate. I tightened everything down to make sure the connections were aligned - they were - and still no good. I finally put the flash on the camera after removing the cord, finally got the Flash function settings to appear under the External Speedlight control menu item (second menu set when in PASM modes), and changed the 6D to Manual.I took the speed light off the camera, replaced it with the cord, hooked up the speed light to the other end, and voila! It worked. I've taken several images now and am remotely triggering off-camera flash. Next time, I'm going to go with a matched set of controllers / flashes. So, I am four-star happy for now.

Best money you can spend for photos with more impact.
Getting the flash off of and away from the camera is the fastest and cheapest way to give your pictures impact, drama, and that certain "something" that sets them apart. This cable works perfectly with your manufacturer or after-market flash to do that cheaply and quickly.The build quality is good, the length is perfect, and the cable feels really heavy-duty. It attaches securely on both ends and I haven't had a single issue with it not making connections (which I've experienced with cheap off-camera cables before).The only thing I don't like about the cable is that the cord comes out of the front of the hot-shoe adapter on the camera end, causing it to sometimes drape in front of my lens. Of course, if it came out the back it would drape in front of my eyepiece, so it's probably a wash. I paid $15 for this.

Plastic shoe
The image doesn't show the shoe side that attaches to the flash/bracket it will snap of easily.

Works great with my Quick flip flash bracket and a 430EX
Works as advertised. I use it with a Strobo quick flip flash bracket and it is plenty long for this. Maybe a bi too long as I need to make sure it doesn't swing and block the lens. Works well as I switch the bracket from landscape to portrait and back. Electronic connections are perfect and the flash acts as it should. Can't tell about longevity as I've only had it or a short period of time. That is the problem reviewing an item just after you bought it.

Not What They Promised
I received the cord, tested it and it works fine. UNFORTUNATELY it is nowhere near the 9.8 feet it claims so, as requested by their supposed company president, I wrote to inform them of the shortage and asked if they could supply one that actually was the length advertised. Since then I have received two more replies, neither of which was helpful. The last one ask me to re-measure the length. To those that suggested stretching the cord I would Say to be VERY VERY CAREFUL because the small wires within the coil and not designed to stretch and could easily break inside where you won't see the damage.I have strongly suggested to the manufacturer they offer an uncoiled unit but so far they have dodged that suggestion and continue with the silly questions. I see there are two other offerings from different companies, but they are of poor quality according to the reviews so my next step will be to build my own cord.I would strongly suggest they be make them re-write their ad or drop this product since it is an outright deception.

Works perfectly, fully control off camera flash... maybe not 4.9 feet
This has been an important part for my macro photography, it works nice, the perfect lenght for the purpose I'm using it. However, it looks like if you stretch it to its maximum lenght it can be damage.I don't feel any difference beetwen having the flash on camera or off camera, so there's no disadvantage of using this accesory. Something that was very surprising was the weight, it's actually kind of heavy for a cable. Really nice overall. Also I really like the box.
