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.

The SC-29 sync cord simply makes my life easier. I love the SC-29 sync cord teamed with my SU-800, SB-900's and SB-800's for my wedding and special event photography.

I use the extension cord on a flash extender on my Mongoose. It allows fill flash to illuminate the subject much better with long lens

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Works perfectly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 star is because the price is alittle expensive.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
I use mine for portraits and sometimes tabletop shots. Amateurs should get one for family shots, etc. Your photography is going to benefit from getting that speedlight off the hotshoe.

Bought for use with Nikon SB-900 but found that it extended capabilities of my SB-600 also.

Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
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:
I use this cable as it is intended - that is to separate the flash from the camera. In that regard it works very well. Like most all nikon gear, the design is good, it works as intended and is expensive.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
i use this on my D90 and my sb-600 and it works great! i couldnt ask for anything better.

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:
This is great and worth the price to have the AF illuminator. The best wired solution.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
A solid Nikon product; no issues so far; works exactly as advertised and the AF Illuminator is worth the extra $$.
Good way to get your flash off camera
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:
This is a tool that I couldn't be without. I use it with the SB-800 on a Stoboframe Pro T bracket and it works great.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
I use mine with the Stroboframe flash holder and the Nikon D200.

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:
Great item to get off-camera flash. I've got a D40, so while I can't make use of Nikon's CLS without a second flash, this cord allows me to get the flash off the camera so I can get more creative with lighting.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Very quick and easy to use to get a speedlight off the camera. I am still experimenting to find all its uses. The cord is coiled pretty tight. I have no complaints, it has worked fine for me so far.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
It Is Perfect For Off Camera Flash For Use With My Custom Bracket.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Just another quality product from Nikon! Couldn't be happier!
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Gets flash off camera for close up and detail work. Great for casting shadows and enhancing detail
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Cord is too stiff to get 9 feet. Anything beyond 4-5 feet topples the lightstand. Uncoiled cord would have been better.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Good length for just "off" camera use, hand held or attached to flash bracket. Stiff cable that can be firmly wrapped around the bracket to keep it out of the way.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Works just like Nikon advertises

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.

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

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.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Improved AF-Illuminator but Coiled cable should be soft like Canon,other than that is very good.

I use that for portraits

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

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.

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:
very good product but prone to breaking easily
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.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
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
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
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.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
It has met every expectation, very reliable and actually does what it says it will do.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
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.
Comments about Nikon Nikon SC-29 Dedicated TTL Coiled Sync Extension Cord, with Male / Female ISO Hot Shoes & AF Illuminator:
Works all the time every time
