The Canon OC-E3 Off Camera Shoe Cord maintains all on-camera flash functions (including E-TTL II) for one Canon Speedlite used off-camera at distances up to 2' (60 cm). It is compatible with all Canon EOS cameras except the 630 and RT (which require a combination of TTL Hot Shoe Adapter 3 OA-2 Off Camera Shoe Adapter & Connecting Cord 60). The OC-E3 has been improved over the OC-SC 2 with better sealing against dust and moisture to better match the weather-resistant design of the EOS 1D Mark III and the 580EX2 flash. It also now features a sturdier foot.

Expensive Piece of Junk/ Breaks Easy

"I wrote an earlier review on this and was quite happy with it. I was shocked last weekend during a shoot that it just simple broke and split in half. I was using a Stroboframe RL Flash Bracket, with a Canon 580 EX II, and a Whail Tail Studio. The Flash on my bracket is stationary, and the Camera does the rotation so there is less stress on the hot shoe, as opposed to some brackets that flip. I was "Walking" up a..." Read Full Review »

"The cord is well-built and reliable. The flash fires every time. It has never let me down. It may seem on the pricey side but reliability and quality come at a price. When I'm shooting groups of 200 people I can't afford the flash to misfire and this cord works like a charm. Highly recommended. "

"It certainly works well enough, but I pulled it out of my bag over the weekend, and hooked everything up - seconds later, my speedlite is dangling ... the hotshoe portion of the cable split in half- yep, the housing is plastic- and for some reason the thing just split in half and fell apart ...

I decided to go with the Canon brand cord, since both my Camera and Flash are made by Canon. I bought th …"  Read Full Review »
