Nikon Extension Chord

Well designed. Good value for the money. Received it promptly from Adorama like always. Make sure if you want to use it to focus that you have one of the Nikon flashes in the description. It will not work with any other flashes.

Nikon SC-29

I have a purchased a couple of these units. The cords hold up pretty well even when getting pinched by the bracket many times. I also feel that you get a more accurate reading from the sensor in the SC-29 than when it come out of the flash.

As with all Nikon products, it works well.

I use this cable with my bracket to get my flash off the camera. It works very well, providing full functionality with Nikon's flash features.

NIKON HOT SHOE EXTENSION CORD

This does what it is supposed to without any issues. I like that it is coiled (which stretches) as it doesn't get tangled up in things and makes it easy to hand hold your hot shoe flash in various directions. Easy to use with or without a tripod.

A must for flash potograpy

For the best and most creative flash photography, you need to take the flash off of the hot shoe. This is a great way to do that.

Renforcing at strobe shoe should be heavier

My cord is frayed at the strobe junction. The cord cracked and there are bare wires showing. I will attempt to encase the frayed cord with silicone gel tapering it when I apply it, and then surround that with tape to stiffen the joint. That junction is where most of the movement is applied during shooting with the strobe off the camera.

I have the commercial printers turn off image intelligence. All kinds of issues now resolved

In order to use the full capabilities of 910 flashes in off camera mode, the chord is required. I like TTL for some work and I use it with the Stroboframe Camera flip bracket. I have also used it with umbrellas, shoot thru and bounce. It also avoids having to set the remote flashes where the on camera flash can trigger them. The on camera flash put out a disturbing IR component even in commander mode with flash set to off. I can not see it under normal conditions, but when I use auto white balance on a grey card, the picture goes green/cyan. I have the commercial printers turn off image intelligence. All kinds of issues now resolved.

SC-29 FLASH CORD

I purchased this SC-29 cord to improve my pictures by having the flash off the camera. It does great for lighting my pictures from a different angles.

works as it should with my 7100. light weight. I would give it a 5 were it not for the lack of a cold shoe on the off camera section and the extra-extra long cord.

Could be wonderful with a small modification

Right now, this is basically your only option if you want to shoot bracketed with your Nikon Camera and Flash, and maintain full functionality. The problem is, that 9' cord is heavy and bulky when working with a bracketed flash. If Nikon would modify the design of this unit to make it modular, and allow the swapping out of cords (shorter/lighter for bracketed shooting, and longer for other shooting scenarios), it would be a nearly perfect product.

Short Shelf life

I mean, they work and do what they're supposed to do, but only for about 18 months. I've had to purchase one of these about every year and a half to 2 years over the past 10 years.

A born skeptic chooses to accept

The CS-29 was my first purchase of used camera equipment via the internet and it was a pleasant surprise for the skeptic that I am. I only bought this CS-29 because a new one wasn't available and I knew I would return it if not satisfied. Testing all CLS and AF assist light functions determined that the sync cord works properly. The cord still has a tight coil and the connections are solid. It was in excellent condition as advertised save for some very minor dust in some crevices and tiny scratches on the red AF assist window. I will take the money that I saved on this purchase and apply it to the next item on my endless wish list, a flash bracket.

Improved my photos.

I love this cable. I finally got away from the awful red eye effect from my "on camera flash". The hot spots on people's faces are gone forever!! I have the freedom to bounce the light from almost anywhere (walls, ceilings, and objects).

Haven't used it, yet. But there is no Male Hot shoe connection for the remote end to connect to my stroboframe.

There is no Male Hot shoe connection for the remote end to connect to my stroboframe. I had to take the hot shoe adapter off of the stroboframe. This fact should be in the details and photos. Also not have a PC socket is a bummer. Its not the first time Nikon has forgotten important parts for a camera.

Worth its weight in gold

When you have to be mobile and can't get the flash off camera on a light stand, use it with a camera bracket to get the flash off camera without having to hold the flash in one hand. It also helps to eliminate red eye when used with a bracket.

Eliminates guesswork

By kozmo18

I recently jumped from the world of film to digital when I went from a faithful F5 to the D700. The F5 and an old Ftn still sit on a shelf in my library ready to go whenever I need them and over the years, a few other Nikon F series went as trade-ins for several newer versions. As reluctant as I was to go digital, the D700, SB900 and the SC-29 cord all helped to make the transition fairly seamless and opened new chapters of creativity for me. My bag full of Nikon glass all made the transitio...

Everything It Is Advertised to Be

By DENNIS A.

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 Off Camera AF TTL Cord, which mounts to the camera's hot shoe, enables an attached SB-600, SB-800 & S9-800 flash to accurately autofocus in low light when placed on a flash bracket, for beautiful shadowless lighting.
• The cord in corporates a new AF Illuminator at the mounting point that overrides the Speedlite's AF Illuminator, completely eliminating any possibility of autofocus discrepancies when using the SB-800 & SB-900 off camera.
• In addition, the SC-29 Off-Camera AF TTL Cord and the SB-800/ SB-900 Quick Recycling Battery Pack can be used as an off camera master controller in a Multi-Flash Set-up
