Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3' (1 m)
The Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord provides creative photographers with the ability to remotely fire off-camera Canon Speedlites. 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 3' (1 m), allows for handheld shooting at arm's length, and provides extra length for flash brackets with longer positioning arms.
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
- 6.5' (2 m) - accommodates keeping the flash mounted on a lightstand with an umbrella, while staying in close proximity
- 33' (10 m) Universal TTL Cord - ideal for a hard wired solution with more range of motion
- Compatibility
-
Canon SLR/DSLR cameras with TTL hot shoe

- 3.0' (1 m) Coiled Cord
- Its 3.0' (1 m) length accommodates off-camera hand-held technique
- Off-Camera Lighting

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
I use this product for portraits and macro photography. It allows for dramatic lighting and reduces the hard light of a direct flash. Cord itself is pretty tense but hoping it relaxes a little over time. Overall great product especially for the price.

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
I have used and broke quite a few TTL-Off-Camera flash cords over the years. I have used Canon and many other brands. While I would always recommend Canon products, but for less than 1/3rd the price of Canon, the Vello cord is great. The cord seems much more durable than other off brand cords I have bought.

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
This product seems more sturdy that the Canon cord, but is 1/3 the price! It locks twice instead of just having a wheel to tighten, and has a metal foot on one end. Oh, and it worked! Great product!

TTL function is perserved with my 430 EX II. Build quality seems very strong and sturdy, can't see it failing on me anytime soon. Will update review the cord breaks/fails prematurely.

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
Strong attachment and connection when you first get the product. I find I need to replace this about 1-2X a year because I use so frequently. The connection must get weak after awhile?

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
This does everything I wanted and expected it to do. There are times that the light needs to be off camera and this does it for me. When shooting people and the light is on camera and a portrait shot will put a large very distinctive shadow to the side of the subject. I use this cord and hold the light above the camera in one hand and shoot with the other hand. IT WORKS GREAT! I actualy bought two, one for me and another for my friend that has like equipment. We both are very satisfied

Comments about Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord for Canon EOS - 3.0' / 1.0 m:
I wanted to purchase a quick off camera flash cord for my T2i so I could take pictures of models and still life with a level of shaded depth in play instead of facing my flash toward the subject or bouncing it from my camera's position. The tripod mount was a plus, I didn't really expect to be able to utilize it as well as I have. The cord isn't lengthy, but any offset from the camera's starting position is better than what the usual result would turn out to be.
For the price, this product honestly can't be beat.
