5 Stars Back up a little please. … A little more. … Just a little more. … Great!
This does exactly what it is supposed to do. … It is supple, and easily transparent in my work. … I like the reach it gives my camera, by removing me from the equation.

3 Stars Less useful
I use it rarely. This is not a good product to use. Instead I recommend using a wireless remote like pocket wizard. This is not a good product to use except long exposure.

4 Stars pricey, but works well
I agree with the other reviewer- pricey for an extension cord- but it works well. My only 2 cents to add is that it can be tough to get the plugs lined up just right with the camera and remote shutter- especially in the dark.

5 Stars the cord does and excellant job
I bought this cord because i just bought a Canon 40D and wanted to take some christmas pictures of us and needed a remote to do it. i bought the remote button that plugs in and bought the 33′ extension so i could stand away from the camera, and it worked great.

4 Stars Very useful, but boy is this long!
First, the product works very well. No issues. Workmanship and materials are good. The chord remains flexible at 15F outdoors with no issues- which is nice as many cheaper PVC cables tend to get brittle when temps drop.

I guess Canon built this for nature photography where you need to hide the camera far, far away from the photographer. But boy is this extension chord long. You will be reeling this in and out like the Old Man and the Sea. I strongly recommend getting the cardboard core of a bounty paper towel reel and using that to wrap the extension cable up. Otherwise you will end up with tangled spaghetti in the field.

The original remote has, in my opinion, a chord which needs to be 12in longer to be useful.

5 Stars It’s what canon Left OUT of the Kit
This is what Canon left out of the kit. Well, not really but it would have been nice to find one in the box. Though it’s really only good for stationary studio work.

But, that is exactly why I bought these adapter. I can leave Liveview running full time while I do product shots and never have to swap out batteries after a couple hours or so…I would say for me it’s worth it;s weight in gold. Just slips into your battery compartment and on the 40D the cord exits sort of out the front of the body. There is a small rubber flap I never noticed until I bought the adapter and had to figure out how it was going to work given the battery door…hehehe…turns out Canon was thinking ahead on this one.

I highly recommend this to anyone who shoots a lot of static studio product shots and needs Liveview. It will save you 2-3x it’s cost in the first year you use it since you won’t need extra BP511A batteries for your studio time. There is pretty much no strain on the camera from the adapter so you could, with a long enough extension cord and some nimble feet, move around a bit with the camera off the tripod.

5 Stars Great Idea!
I don’t have to worry about battery power when taking many photos at one time.

4 Stars Works as advertised
Plugged it in, worked like a charm. Could stand to be cheaper… if you can get a hold of a cheaper, reliable alternative, go for it.

4 Stars Canon Adapter Kit
Compareble cheap and high quality item. I also admire that Amozon delivered it on time. Thanks a lot.

5 Stars Power for indoor shoots that doesn’t fail
I use these adapter kits to power my cameras on indoor professional shoot sessions. They are reliable and easy to use in my Canon EOS digital cameras.
