Gets strobe away from camera
from Tennessee on 7/10/2008
Currently use Portrait Settings, Weddings, Special Events & Sporting events at dusk. The SB800 Flash attached directly to the camera doesnt give enough distance between the flash and the camera, I get too many shadows. I use the Stroboframe Quick Flip 350. I prefer to rotate my flash rather than the entire camera using the SC29 Sync Cord w/AF illinator works best with my SB800 flash.

Very good stuff

This cord is necessary if you want to use your digital camera compatible flash off the camera. Nikon has improved its design, since I lost the first one that I owned.

It is really nice to have the flexibility of getting the flash off the camera and in a position that I want. It does exactly what it is intended to do.

I have had second party brands that try ti duplicate the functionals that this Sync Extension Cord has but non compares this the Nikon SC-29.

Improved AF-Illuminator but Coiled cable should be soft like Canon,other than that is very good.

It works as described. Easy to use. Focus assist illuminator is nice. It is a bit more fragile than I expected given the price and considering there's a flash mounted to it adding torque as you swing your camera on a bracket. The plastic casing is crackable if you're a bit rough. Else, it's a fine product.

I tried using my D200 camera with the SB800 flash on a bracket using the built in speedlight as a commander, but the recycle time was too slow. The sb29 helps speed that recycle time up quite a bit.
from Centerville, OH on 11/11/2007
This - and a decent bracket like a Stroboframe - is a must. This accessory WILL mount on a Stroboframe by simply removing the Stroboframe hotshoe mount (screw is underside) and using the same screw to mount the SC-29 hotshoe.
The SC-29 works well with both my SB-600 and SB-800. The extra elevation provided by the SB-29 and frame totally eliminates red-eye without having to bounce the flash, thereby allowing me to extend the flash distance.

very good product but prone to breaking easily
from Ladera Ranch, CA on 6/8/2007
Great Product. The problem I had with it is trying to attach it to a bracket. It wouldn;'t mount on my flat bracket shoe. I was able to get it to mount to my stroboframe digital folding frame but only sideways and with the thumb screw. I am still searching for a screw to shoe converter. Coolest use: I was able to mount it to a joby small gorilla grip tripod for some interesting placement of the flash up to 5 feet away.
Buy this one over the sc28. If you find yourself in low light situations, the AF assist comes in handy.

the sc-29 is a great flash sync cable , i use a stroboframe camera flip and it works well togather. no more side shadows. just order yours quick cause they run out fast
from San Jose, CA on 3/1/2007
You can use the old SC-17 or newer SC-28 to save money, but this has an AF assist light built into the hotshoe foot, which is nice. I have two, on stroboframe flip brackets, for wedding photography. Totally satisfactory.
from West Virginia on 2/12/2007
Works all the time every time
from Bay City, Michigan on 2/12/2007
I would probably use this feature more if I had more ways to hold the flash off the camera. It lends itself more to home-base work than in the field.
from Summerset, SD on 2/12/2007
It has met every expectation, very reliable and actually does what it says it will do.
