5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, and it should for the price, December 23, 2007
By R. MacKay (Stow, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When you buy a Canon-branded accessory you expect it to perform properly, be well constructed... and expensive. The OC-E3 cord satisfies all three criteria. Yes, it could be longer, but when you are using it on a bracket as I do, a shorter cord is preferable.

The tripod socket on the bottom of the hotshoe is terrific. This allowed me to remove the shoe mount that came with my bracket install the OC-E3 in its place.

The camera end of this cord has the same locking mechanism that is on the 580EX II flash, and it works well. No more missed shots because the cable slid out of place.

Off camera cords are notoriously delicate. This one seems better made that many that I've used on the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy this one!, September 15, 2007
By tavegas "tavegas" (las vegas, nevada) - See all my reviews
I tried the off brand one for 40 bucks and it locked on my 30d to the point I had to destroy it to get it off. the canon one is weather sealed and double locked like the 580ex II flash. it works great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Canon OC-E3, November 2, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this as the cheapest way to get my 550EX or 580EX II off the camera. This cord has the weather sealing and supposed to be better built than the previous OC-E2 cord. The previous cord had some bad reviews so I bought this one and hope it holds up.

However, I found the 2 feet cord extension to be rather short. So I cut the cord in half and added female CAT5 sockets to each end. Now I can take any reasonable length of CAT5 cable and extend the flash off camera. It took all of 30 minutes to modify the extended cable and I am happy with the results.

What else can I say, the cord does what Canon claims it will do. I'm sure Canon would not be thrilled with my modification, but Canon: listen up and give us an extendable cord! I'm happy with the cord but only gave it 3 stars and I'll wait and see how it holds up to use.

This is a must for portrait pictures (when using a flash), not sturdy but good quality. Works well, does what is expected to do. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a charm... Opteka's version is identical and is cheaper though.
I own one of these and one of the Opteka versions. They are identical except that the Canon's coils are tighter while the Opteka is looser. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Does The Job
Quality made and does the job. Could be a bit longer, but gets the strobe away from the camera enough to eliminate most red eye.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Canon: Well built, but pricy
By now, I shouldn't be surprised that Canon's accessories are a bit expensive. I mean, $70 for a cable to take my 580EX II off of the hotshoe? Read more
