Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing the Custom Brackets Mini-RC.

Rather than having 3' of coiled cable to deal with, I was wondering
if anyone has, knows about, or recommends a "short" flash cable
to attach a 530 EX to a 5DIII

thanks!

Even though it's a 3' coiled cable, the actual cable is about 14" before it starts to stretch..... And if you wrap it around the shaft of the bracket, then you should have little to no slack, assuming that is your concern. I was using this type of set up through out my film days with an RZ-67 for shooting weddings. I only use it today when I have an outdoor night wedding or event.....
