Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon OC-E3 - Flash synchro cable
Customer Review: Excellent Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
My photos are now more creative, this a necesary tool if you want more control and freedom with your flash.Customer Review: Cheap plastic for your flash
Summary: 1 Stars
Broke instantly when I attached my 580EX II onto the mount. Cracked in half. Left my flash hanging in the air. Terrible design. Perhaps not using cheap plastic on a part that has a fair amount of torque would be better. Not impressed. Waste of money.Customer Review: Improves casual photos immensely
Summary: 5 Stars
Using this product with my Canon 580ex and a flip flash bracket greatly improves the casual photos that I have taken. By using the flip flash braket I can always keep the flash vertically over the lens so that all shadows from the flash fall behind the people I am shooting instead of to the left or right.
I highly recommend this setup for people who take casual photos at any sort of group function.
Customer Review: It will break. It can't handle the weight of the 580 Ex II
Summary: 1 Stars
Broke within 5 minutes of use. Split right down the middle and sent my flash tumbling. Completely useless. DO NOT BUY.
Update: Canon is refusing to replace the cord stating: "please note The warranty does not cover physical or accidental damage."
Update: After escalating to a supervisor at Canon they agreed to make an _exception_ and replaced the OC-E3 with a new one. Their default stance is physical damage is not covered. Unless you're willing to reinforce the OC-E3 in some way I wouldn't recommend trusting it with an expensive flash.
Update: The replacement OC-E3 came. I disassembled it immediately, with the idea of filing it with epoxy to reinforce it, and discovered that one of the plastic posts was already broken.
Customer Review: If using it professionally it will break monthly....
Summary: 1 Stars
I hate this plastic crappy base with metal screws. It has problems with the 580 EX II. The weight of the flash will cause it to crack in the middle. I go through one of these a month. Some months I'm able to piece together parts from two broken bases to make one cord. Canon needs to make a stronger version for the professional market so it can hold the Canon flashes without breaking.
