->> I am wanting to fire my Canon 580 EXII Flashes with Pocketwizards. I am looking at the cords from Pocketwizard and I also found a cord from Flash Zebra.
My question is, has anyone heard of flash zebra? And if so, are they reliable? Or should I spend the extra cash and go for the Pocketwizard version?
Thanks in advance everyone. |

| ->> I've used remote cables and other flash items (hot shoes, etc) from Flash Zebra. I haven't had any problems and I like supporting the small business versus the giant corporation. |

| ->> I have both of them and they both have worked perfect. I'm glad I saved over $70 in buying the Flash Zebra cord. I heard about it on here |

| ->> I bought their 580ex modification (puts a miniplug jack in the base). The mod has worked great for me. |

->> When (or maybe if, the way the economy is going) I get my 30D a new shutter, I plan on purchasing a Flash Zebra Screwlock sync cord. (The backup camera doesn't have a PC port.)
I've also read they have good customer service on other forums. |

| ->> Might not even be worth mentioning again, but my Flash Zebra cords are great. And the hand written note in the box is a nice personal touch. |
