[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 134653, member: 12496"] Yes, a hot shoe extension cable will let the flash do anything it could do directly on the hot shoe. Yes, this hot shoe extension includes acting as a commander, if the flash has that capability. Two downsides. Cameras without Commander can use a flash as a commander, but they still do not have the FV Lock feature. [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/awl.html#FV"]Using the Nikon CLS Remote Wireless Flash System[/URL] So there is high risk of getting pictures of the subject blinking when using Commander without FV Lock. And these cords are short, however they should work as a fill light in an umbrella, which should be very near the camera anyway. [/QUOTE]
