I bought one and it worked great, but I found mine to be flimsy and cheaply made... It broke into pieces after some light use and now I'm looking into either soldering it back together or buying the flashzebra version.

They are a little more expensive, but I'd go for the 24ft model from flashzebra.com for $55

Unfortunately, the Canon versions are also flimsy and cheaply made. Mine broke. A colleague of mine has had two break in the last year.

I've just ordered a yongnuo one. If the build quality is comparable to their battery packs then I'll be happy.

I have a Yongnuo one and it's fine. Never looked like breaking but then again, I haven't used it much at all. I bought some Yongnuo triggers and they're good too :lol:
