Anyone know the exact cord you would need to hook a skyport reciever up to a 580 ex II flash?

This cord (external link) works for any speedlite. You could get a 3.5mm to PC sync cord if you wanted to use the sync socket on the 580 II.

The Skyport comes with the correct cable, doesn't it?

Can the 580EX II accept a screwlock connector? If so then this, otherwise Flash Zebra can custom make you a cable.

PC connectors don't have a good reliablity record, which the foot thingy I linked to gets around. I use one of those with a 580EX v1 and a 550EX.

AH! I am guessing 3.55mm = 1/8th? If so Alienbees sells them.
