 Canon OC-E3 November 2, 2007

I purchased this as the cheapest way to get my 550EX or 580EX II off the camera. This cord has the weather sealing and supposed to be better built than the previous OC-E2 cord. The previous cord had some bad reviews so I bought this one and hope it holds up.
However, I found the 2 feet cord extension to be rather short. So I cut the cord in half and added female CAT5 sockets to each end. Now I can take any reasonable length of CAT5 cable and extend the flash off camera. It took all of 30 minutes to modify the extended cable and I am happy with the results.
What else can I say, the cord does what Canon claims it will do. I'm sure Canon would not be thrilled with my modification, but Canon: listen up and give us an extendable cord! I'm happy with the cord but only gave it 3 stars and I'll wait and see how it holds up to use.
 buy this one! September 15, 2007

I tried the off brand one for 40 bucks and it locked on my 30d to the point I had to destroy it to get it off. the canon one is weather sealed and double locked like the 580ex II flash. it works great.
Works well, and it should for the price December 23, 2007

When you buy a Canon-branded accessory you expect it to perform properly, be well constructed... and expensive. The OC-E3 cord satisfies all three criteria. Yes, it could be longer, but when you are using it on a bracket as I do, a shorter cord is preferable.
The tripod socket on the bottom of the hotshoe is terrific. This allowed me to remove the shoe mount that came with my bracket install the OC-E3 in its place.
The camera end of this cord has the same locking mechanism that is on the 580EX II flash, and it works well. No more missed shots because the cable slid out of place.
Off camera cords are notoriously delicate. This one seems better made that many that I've used on the past.
Good but pricey November 29, 2007

I find that the cord works fine. My complaint is that it's so costly for what it does. The Nikon that cost about the same has a autofocus assist lamp. I wish the Canon cord came with an autofocus assist lamp. The focus assist lamp from the flash doesn't work to well if the flash is hand held away from the camera.
I would rate this 5 star, if it had focus assist lamp or priced $20 lower.
 If using it professionally it will break monthly.... April 17, 2008

I hate this plastic crappy base with metal screws. It has problems with the 580 EX II. The weight of the flash will cause it to crack in the middle. I go through one of these a month. Some months I'm able to piece together parts from two broken bases to make one cord. Canon needs to make a stronger version for the professional market so it can hold the Canon flashes without breaking.
