Quality cable used to connect my Pocket Wizard device to my Canon camera remote trigger port. Works great but does it have to be so expensive? It is a little tricky to remove after plugged in. I was concerned I might break the plug or my camera. There are no instructions for how to use the metalic retaining ring built into the plug. Also, the metalic ring falls off the cord easily so be careful not to lose it.

This cable does work yes, however if you are firing your camera from another camera's pocket wizard this is NOT for you. You must get the Pre Trigger cable. This cable shown here will put your camera to sleep. So if you are firing your camera remotely from another camera you would need to take 2 photos for the camera to wake up on the first shot and fire on the 2nd shot.
If you are firing your remote camera using a pocket wizard transmitter in your hand and pressing the TEST button to trigger remote camera this works perfectly.
However at what cost? This cable is i believe $50 more than the other cable and the pre trigger cable offers you more options with the pretrigger ON/OFF switch. I'd get the other cable if it were me.

Comments about PocketWizard CM-N3 Motor Cord, Canon N3 to Miniphone - 3':
Works perfect, but it's a little bit to slow, but the 1D is on the other hand a very fast shooting camera. Only negative this is the big plug on this cable (the end which goes into the camera) is a bit to tight and hard to get out again.

Comments about PocketWizard CM-N3 Motor Cord, Canon N3 to Miniphone - 3':
It does what it's supposed to. It attaches to the PW and the other end into my 5D. The end that attaches to the 5D also locks on pretty well so it won't fall out easily.
Pretty long cord, I usually have to rubber band it to keep from getting in my way.

Comments about PocketWizard CM-N3 Motor Cord, Canon N3 to Miniphone - 3':
This cord worked perfectly allowing me to fire a camera remotely working in conjunction with picket wizards and I'm very glad I did buy it because the alternative angles it allowed to be captured became crucial.
I am however only giving it three stars based upon it's high price. I can buy 50' of expensive cable for quite a bit less than this - I'm thinking the manufacturer bumped the price due to the "oh photographers can pay more" than the realistic cost of producing such an item

Comments about PocketWizard CM-N3 Motor Cord, Canon N3 to Miniphone - 3':
The cord couples my Pocket Wizard to my Canon 50D; and allows me to fire the camera and synchronized remote flashes from another Wizard without having to be at the camera position. It's been great for Portraiture and table-top shots, because it gies me freedom to walk around the set.
