Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

The SC 29 works just as it is advertised to do. It is very reliable and easy to store for travel. Another negative is the strength of the coiled cord. The working distance away from the camera is much less than one would think given the advertised length of the cord. It will not stretch out very easily. Otherwise, it is a great piece of equipment.

Great off camera cord. Use this attached to my Nikon SB800 flash, which is attached to my Nikon D300 and Stoboframe. Syching my flash to camera when I swing the flash from Horizontal to Vertical easy and effective allows me to easily take beautiful Vertical and Horizontal flash pictures without annoying sideways shadows.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

The SC29 extension cord works flawlessly with my SB-600 flash. It makes it easy to bring the light off center with one arm while shooting with other. It is much faster and easier to set up than the remote Commander mode, thus an advantage when only 1-2 flash shots are needed. For a long session I would probably still use the Commander appraoch.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

Bought this for the flexibility of getting my flash off camera. Sure, I can use the remote mode to fire, but I find using this cable is quicker and easier. My experience is that you pay for quality and get it with Nikon. No exception here. The cable is heavy duty (emphasize heavy) but performs like a champ. I am very pleased and this cord goes into my carry around bag along with my flash unit.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

Getting the Speedlite off the camera is a must for better lighting control. This cable does the job nicely while still communicating all the "technical information" between the Speedlite and the camera.

I like the fact that it will mount directly on a tripod head so that it leaves me hands free if needed.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

I shoot location portraits, and weddings with my Nikon D80. I hate to use the 'distracting' focus-assist light on the camera and the SC-29 lets me avoid that. I get to use my SB-800 off-camera AND keep the focus assist when necessary. The option to turn off the beam when unneeded is a plus too.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

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.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

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.

"Must-Have" accessory

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

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.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:

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.
