Hi guys,

I've just come across this :-

http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33478

This person has taken a normal off-camera flash cord and with a bit of network cable has extended it...up to 5 metres so far.  Clever way to overcome one of the major irritations with these things (short tightly coiled wires) and for a fraction of the cost of a wireless thingy!!

Has anyone else come across or done any interesting modifications to their equipment to solve a problem, or just make it work better for them?

Or perhaps a homemade version of something that camera companies feel justified in charging us vast sums for.

Time to share your ingenuity with the world!!

:-)
