I'm looking for something which will allow me to use full TTL exposure with the flash off the camera's hot shoe - something like a remote sync lead?

I'm not sure exactly what I need, can anyone advise? Just wanna be able to put my flash above my fishtanks to get some light in from above.

Cheers :woot:

Jessops do a Canon TTL cord which is cheaper than the Canone item.

I have one to connect my 430 to my 20d

Only niggle i have with the off camera flash cords is the coiled leads, they need a fair bit of force to stretch them, so you need a strong support on the flash or it can be pulled over.
