Olympus FL-CB02 Hot Shoe Cable
This piece of equipment is probably one of the most taken for granted units in my photographic equipment arsenal, but yet without a doubt this has to be one of the most important pieces of equipment I use when taking photos. I am a photographer for a lot of events. Most of them occur in dimly lit venues. To capture them I need to use a flash. I know that in dimly lit t areas as part of the autonomic nervous system the Iris of the eyes relax and open to permit more light gathering power for humans, A sudden flash of light into the eyes during a photo shoot will cause the light to reflect off the retina in the back of the eye which is a series of blood vessels. Thus you get the effect known as red eye. I knew from the outset that in order to alleviate this problem I had to make sure that my Olympus FL-50 flash was mounted as far away from the axis of the lens as I could achieve. To accomplish this I bought re FLBK01 Flash bracket and the CBL-01 hotshoe cable to connect the 2 units together, and I have been happy ever since.

This cable works fantastic!
Just a quick note to say that anyone interested in this cable for your Olympus Digital SLR should get it. It works seamlessly.Easy to use and provides my TTL with all the info it needs.

Good but has faults
The concept of the Hot Shoe cable is good but it has a major flaw. When the hot shoe cable is attached to my camera's hot shoe, the connection physically prevents the pop-up flash from popping up rendering the pop-up flash inoperable. There are times when I would like to use both the pop-up flash and my external flash at the same time but that is not possible with the hot shoe cable attached. I must turn off the pop-up flash before I can use the external flash. My camera is the Olympus Evolt
E-500.
