Make your TTL flash work for you
(5 out of 5) by David B. Seltzer on Sep 10, 2007 (Fairfield, CT USA)The flexibility this cable gives you is well worth the money. Especially when shooting in the dark. The off-flash AF-Illuminator lets you point the flash anywhere while still being able to paint your subject for autofocus.
The build-quality is outstanding - the cable is heavy and doesn't get "over-stretched" easily.

Needed off camera flash cord
(5 out of 5) by Beanster on Feb 25, 2008 (NYC)The Nikon SC-29 flash cord,although pricey, is a necessary addition to off camera flash attachments. Having looked at other cheaply made cords, with their flimsy attachments, I was convinced that the extra money would be better spent on the stronger construction of the SC-29. In addition, since I am using a non Nikon speedlight, I wanted a cord which would allow usage of my Sigma flash in both ttl and non ttl applications. The SC-29 has a nifty little switch which allows this to happen.On my Nikon D80 it has performed outstandingly with my non dedicated flash.

Oh my, what fun
(5 out of 5) by Arhtur H. Self III on Feb 7, 2007 (Chicago, IL USA)I dont use this product in it's intended use in the studio. I wanted this cord to take out to the streets to get some weird flash angles similar to those of Bruce Gilden and my own original ideas concerning a whole matter of subjects. This works flawlessly with my SB-800 and D200. Giving a wide range of flexibility.
No matter what use you find for it, it'll work just fine.

Satisfied
(4 out of 5) by D. Moreno on Feb 21, 2008 (Los angeles, Ca)I was looking for a way to connect my SB600 Flash to my Nikon to avoid redeye and harsh light. This little attachment worked great. I set my flash on a collapsible strobe frame for my Nikon and shot away. I am not a professional, all I know is what works. This works for me.

Be sure to get the Anti-Twist plate!
(4 out of 5) by William on Dec 21, 2007 (Summit, NJ)This coil is great for mounting the SB-800 on top of your Nikon with the 350 flip bracket from Tiffen. I bought both, and found that with my battery pack on the Nikon D200 it would not go full center. In other words, I could not position the SB-800 center to the camera with the Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 Flash Bracket. So I had to do two things:
1) Unscrew the attachment and move it to the far right so that the flash unit was not hitting the infrared component. (Very easy to fix - I'm a novice, and if I can do it, you can, too.)
2) I absolutely needed the anti twist-plate. It's essential. If you don't get it, you may as well chuck the whole 350 flash bracket out altogether. It is needed so that the SB-800 doesn't spin around.
Get both and you'll be happy. 4/5 stars because I can't center the flash, but really, it's only a matter of an inch or an inch and a half, and I don't think it's going to ruin my photographing experiences beyond repair. Happy shooting!
Note: I love this thing.
