Oh btw, FlashZebra now makes a replacement foot assembly that has a built-in mini jack sync port.

Guys.. there's a less expensive option. I know I keep touting this and you're probably sick of it by now, but the Paramount bit isn't the only option for a PW to Canon adapter. http://www.flashzebra.​com/wizardcables/hotsh​oe.shtml (external link)

I've been using that adapter for the last few weeks on location shoots and it's been flawless.

I should be getting some sort of kickback.. :D

i have this and i got the paramount ones from b&h. part#pm-mhsf1. they work flawlessly. you can also go to radio shack and get a 6 ft extension cord for $4.25 and lower your pw to the bottom of your stand. solves the interference issue on the 580

I use the items from flash zebra and pocket wizards. Works great. Never have any issue. Its part of my main wedding bag.
