Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Miniphone to Hot Shoe Female, Pocket Wizard:

Worked right out of the box, does its job. I'm a little disappointed it doesnt slide all the way into my flashes OEM stand, but it goes enough in that it stands and can only fall an inch if it happens. Price is high, but your not left with many alternatives if your flash doesnt have a PC port (I'm looking at you Cannon)

Using with Canon t2i, 2 PW +II, and Canon 430exII

Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Miniphone to Hot Shoe Female, Pocket Wizard:

I have some older hotshoe strobes that do not have a place to connect my cybersync receivers. This adaptor works very well. I have not experienced any failures using this product, and feel it has a more secure connection than if the radio receiver were plugged into the flash.

Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Miniphone to Hot Shoe Female, Pocket Wizard:

I use these all the time for my off camera speed lights with pocket wizards. I am now buying my third because the metal thredds on the bottom where you would screw a stand into pull out of the plastic. I have tried to super glue them back in but with little success.

Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Miniphone to Hot Shoe Female, Pocket Wizard:

This is very poorly manufactured. I tried to use it with my SB600 but the hot shoe rocks on the rest of the plastic mount and made connection unreliable. Ended up buying a replacement elsewhere that was much better made and cheaper to boot. Would have gone that route originally, but other company was sold out and had a gig.

Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Miniphone to Hot Shoe Female, Pocket Wizard:

The product is a great solution but it is overpriced for what you get. I would have hoped that the construction of the shoe mount was made of better material.

After using this unit as a test I will be ordering a couple more. Great for building a light weight strobe kit with hotshoe flashes, [...] style.
