The short spiral cable is only 3 ft long, right? Why not just use the in-camera wireless capability, if that's how far off-camera you're going? Save your money for lenses! :)
My ttl cord is 6 ft, has the hotshoe connections built-in, and available on amazon for about $40. I'm not sure I understand why the 3-pc set is more versatile... What kind of jacks are on the hotshoe adaptors? Would they be used for anything other than the f5p ttl cord? Could you use a (pc or 1/8") sync cord to connect to manual off-camera flash with these?
