| | Features | Keep your camera constantly ""awake"Same effect Pocket-Wizard CM-N3-P Motor Cord
| |
| | Description | Motor drive cords connect to the camera's remote cable socket, and enable the Pocket Wizard radio slave to trigger the camera's shutter remotely. This pre-trigger cable is designed to keep the camera constantly "awake", and has the same effect as holding the camera's trigger button pressed down half-way. A camera will trigger much faster in the ""awake"" mode, but will also use up more battery power. However, the pre-trigger mode can be switched on or off from the cable itself. This cable is 3' long, and will trigger Canon N 3- Pin type cameras, such as EOS 3, 1V, 1V-HS, D2000, D30, D60, 1D Series, and 5D. Triggers any Canon camera that takes a Canon RS80N3 remote trigger cord. | |

 why pay more? . . . Jul 19, 2009

When the consumer has few options, proprietary camera accessories often have exorbitant price tags. Fortunately there are some lower cost alternatives, for the camera trigger cords for use with older generation Pocket Wizard (PW) brand, transmitters, receivers, and transceivers.
Triggering a monolight using PW gear is simple. Connecting the PW receiver to the strobe, generally requires only a cord with two male 1/8 inch pins. Triggering a camera shutter using a PW is almost as simple, although the cord required to accomplish this is generally much more expensive. Basically the required cord has a 1/8" male pin, and a CM-N3 connector on the other end. PW's dedicated cord for the EOS system costs about $80. This Satechi cord is $50 (plus shipping). I don't know if it is identical, but I got a similar cord on eBay, from a distributor in China, which looks very much like the one pictured here, for $18 (free shipping).
My cord did not come with any instructions, but these are my findings. One end connects to the N3 terminal on the camera, and the other is inserted into the 1/8 inch `CAMERA/FLASH' port on the PW receiver/transceiver. There is a small switch in the cord (which appears to be more sturdy than the one on the PW cord). When the switch is `off', the camera will autofocus and fire, when the `TEST' button on the attached PW receiver/transceiver is pressed. You can also trigger the camera remotely using a PW transmitter/transceiver, by pressing the `TEST' button. In this setup, the camera can display the image for review.
To have one SLR trigger a second remote camera, you mount a PW transmitter/transceiver on the hot shoe of the primary camera, turn the switch in the cord 'on', and you are good to go. Using this setup, the secondary camera does not display the image for review after a shot. However if you flick the switch 'off', image can then be viewed in the LCD. Using a PW, any camera with a hot shoe can be used to trigger the secondary camera. The correct procedure is to connect the PW to the camera with each component powered `off'. Then turn on the camera first, followed by the PW.
I tried my cord with Canon's 20D, 30D and 40D, using different combinations of cameras as primary and secondary. The results varied slightly, but were mostly similar. I'm not sure if this cord enables the `active' mode mentioned in the description, but with the switch is `on', there is only a momentary lag while the secondary camera auto focuses, before it fires.
If my cord is not the same as the Satechi, my findings may be irrelevant, but I think there is a good chance that the Satechi cord works in a similar manner. Consumers should be aware that there are lower cost alternatives to the proprietary PW cord. Pocket Wizard may not recommend using aftermarket components, but if they do work, why pay up to four times more? Assuming the Satechi cord is the same as mine, it rates five stars for functionality, but the $56 price results in a two star deduction.

Works Awesome with my Canon 1Ds Mark II and Pocket Wizards! Love being able to remote fire my camera from a long way now. Gets a little tricky remembering which way to toggle the switch to shoot and review but I just mark the switch to help me remember.
Works as advertised and for half the price! Jan 23, 2009

I needed this cable in order to fire my camera remotely with a PocketWizard, but I didn't want to spend the $100 that the 'official' version costs. This product works perfectly, and it costs half the price. How can you go wrong?
