I was looking for an off camera cable for my 20D and 580EX, I ran across these OC-E3
Clones for under $30. The OEM’s are $69.95 at B&H.
They are both made in China.
Anyone have one? Comments?

I have one of the OC-E3 clones. It is almost identical to the Canon OC-E3.
Check out this thread on the subject. https://photography-on-the.net …php?p=5616224#p​ost5616224

No, just regurgitated info I've seen and read.

Nice thing about using that cable is that it allows full function of E-TTL. I wonder sometimes how much difference brackets make regarding shadows. I find when using the demb flip it the flash head is high above the lens when bouncing.

I just got one off that site about a month ago. It works great, only problem I had was shipping took a little longer than expected.
