Title: DO NOT BUY!!!
Product review: I agree with other reviewers...DO NOT BUY. The plastic flash mount broke within 5 minutes of use. Split right down the middle of the seam and sent my 580 EX flash tumbling to the ground...completely useless!When I talked with the Canon technical rep and her supervisor, I was told this is a "safety" feature to prevent the flash shoe base from being broken when the flash is bumped against a hard object. Give me a break, the off-camera shoe cord breaks and the flash is also broken because it hit the ground -- the cord is 6 feet long. Canon hasn't published the "safety feature". The Canon Supervisor, Jim, told me that he carries two cords in case one breaks! Maybe I should carry two Canon 5D bodies and two 24-105mm lens!
