Well, I'm grateful to you guys for at least, bringing the subject up, it serves as a warning about what could happen, and the importance of not stressing the cord. I don't shoot weddings, but do appreciate fully the benefit of a stroboframe bracket, and intend on its continued use. Now I'll take more precautions with my cord.

For those of you that have had problems with their Off The Shoe Cord II, you might look into www.paramountcords.com (external link) . They make heavy duty custom cords. They make one for the Nikon SC-17, I don't see why they wouldn't do it for Canon.

I was watching another photographer at a wedding. He used Nikon equipment, so we don't need to go there. His flash was a Quantum, and of course he had all of these coiled cords running to the camera and the battery and the flash unit and the radio control. The guy was getting into such a hurry that one item or another would fall off his tripod, which would stretch the coiled cord a lot before it hit the floor. Then after the wedding, he was throwing all of his gear and cords into a hard shell case without paying much attention to the pinching of coiled cords. To me, it seemed like a recipe for unreliability.
