The Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord provides creative photographers with the ability to remotely fire off-camera Sony flash units. Removing the flash from the camera's hot shoe allows the photographer to create unique and dramatic lighting styles that are not possible with a traditional shoe-mounted strobe.
One side of the TTL cable fits directly into the camera's hot shoe to ensure that all of the camera's exposure data is maintained. The other side can be attached to any stand, tripod, or device with a standard 1/4"-20 threaded stud or flash shoe mount.
This coiled cord measures 6.5' (2 m), which accommodates shooting with the flash mounted on a lightstand and with an umbrella, while staying in close proximity.
Other available lengths are:
- 1.5' (0.5 m) - ideal for hand-held lighting styles, or when keeping the flash mounted on a compact flash bracket
- 3' (1 m) - allows for handheld shooting at arm's length, and provides extra length for flash brackets with longer positioning arms
- 33' (10 m) Universal TTL Cord - ideal for a hard wired solution with more range of motion
- Compatible Flashes

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Sony Alpha Series - 6.5' (2 m):
I tested a number of settings compared to mounting my Metz 36 AF-5 directly on the Sony A55 camera at multiple angles of the flash. The results were identical.
The useful cord lenght is about 5.5 feet, not 6.5, as it will be too streched out at 6.5. The cord and ends are heavy duty and should hold up well to normal use.
Another review mentioned the cord coming from the front as a negative. Coming from the back would be worse. Coming from one side would be better, unless the flash were needed on the opposite side, further reducing the useful cord length. Therefore the back is a reasonable compromise.

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Sony Alpha Series - 6.5' (2 m):
It works very well with the camera. The flash mount attaches to a tripod which is helpful. The main problem with this product is that the cord on camera mount projects to the front of the camera rather than to the back of the camera. As a result, the cord tends to fall in front of the lens.
