Speedlite 580ex ll off camera lead

[stephen ley]

I am looking to get an off camera lead for my Canon Speedlite 580ex ll. I was wondering where the best place to get one would be, and has anyone else used one?
Also will the Canon EOS400D remotly use this flash as a stand alone or do I always need a unit attached to the camera?

Hi Stephen, I bought mine from Ebay which worked fine, even with the I/R remote. Hope this helps

Do a search on ebay for the cable, you will find buying a 3rd part one considerably cheaper.

As for using the Flash remotely, do a search on here for ST-E2 or Skyports or Pocket Wizards or Ebay Triggers... there are lots of ways of doing it
