Not sure which flash cord or module works with your gear?
Your decision should be based on your camera brand, flash type, and desired level of automation. TTL cords allow full flash communication even off-camera, while sync cords and trigger modules are great for manual or multi-light setups. Some modules even offer wireless triggering or multi-flash coordination. If you're planning to shoot outdoors or in variable lighting conditions, UV, Skylight & Haze Filters can help protect your lens and manage environmental factors.
Popular Types of Flash Cords & Modules
TTL Flash Cords
TTL (Through-The-Lens) cords maintain full exposure control and communication between your camera and flash, even when the flash is mounted off-camera. These are perfect for photographers who want both flexibility and automation.
Sync Cords
Sync cords are basic, reliable connectors that trigger a flash manually. Often used in studio environments, these are popular with photographers who prefer full control over flash settings without relying on TTL.
Trigger Modules
Flash trigger modules enable remote or wireless activation of flashes. Some support multi-light configurations, TTL passthrough, or even radio-based communication for more advanced lighting setups on or off location.

- Preserve TTL Functions - TTL cords keep auto-exposure settings working off-camera.

Flash Cords & Modules FAQs
What's the difference between a TTL cord and a sync cord?
TTL cords support automatic communication between your camera and flash, including exposure and zoom settings. Sync cords only trigger the flash manually, which is ideal for manual studio setups or film photography.
Can I use a flash trigger module with multiple flashes?
Yes, many trigger modules support multiple flashes and offer group settings or channels to manage them. Make sure the module and flashes are compatible with each other and your camera system.
Do these cords and modules work with mirrorless cameras?
Most newer cords and modules are designed to work with both DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Just ensure the product is compatible with your camera's hot shoe or remote port before purchasing.
