possible to DIY pc sync cables?

hey guys

i was wondering if its possible to make your own PC sync cables? i cant really justify paying $15 bucks for something that costed less than $3 bucks to make.

i cant seem to find anywhere that sells just the male connectors though, any of you guys know where i can source some?

thanks

eric

I think http://www.flashzebra.​com/ has some PC connectors on a 12" pigtail. It's worth a look.

thanks for the link!

im looking for individual parts since i really only need a 2-3 inch long male to male pc sync port. (i need about 4-5 of these short cords)

i want to get my poverty wizards off the hotshoe since they wobble a lot when used in an umbrella stand.

Yes, everyone seems to initially purchase these devices because they have a hotshoe, then very quickly cast off that functional mode as undesirable.

This movie plays over, and over, and over.

We'll either that, or i'm going to have to CNC some shims to go between the bracket and the unit itself so it wont rotate.

FlashZebra, do you sell the male connectors seperate?

FlashZebra, I may be ordering this & noticed that you might want to edit it?

This is a heavy-duty yet flexible cord with a standard PC male connector on each end and a Vivitar connector on the other.
