Camera Tripod Screw
Need longer cable to connect to a camera flash to set distance.?
The cord for my external flash for my camera is only a foot long, I get a hot shoe for tripod screw adapter so you can put this flash on a tripod, and thus also need a longer cable. The cable connections seems to be universal. Where can I find a cable 6 to 12 feet to replace the little that comes with the flash unit. This is for an Olympus camera. My camera already has an integrated flash, but I want to use the remote control, as there is a bounce flash or slave flash, and attach to the shoe of the camera, but instead a tripod can be done?
You might be better to buy a red activation infrastructure to mount the camera instead of giving real long cables everywhere. Try B & H. It is likely to have what you need.

You Will Need
- A piece of string as tall as you
- A beanbag
- A quarter-inch bolt
- A washer
Step 1: Tie string to your camera
Take a strong piece of string that is a little longer than you are tall and tie it to the part underneath the camera where it attaches to a tripod.
If you can’t tie the string directly to your camera, tie it to a quarter-inch bolt and screw the bolt into the camera’s tripod attachment.
Step 2: Step on it
Step on the other end of the string and lift the camera until it is at the correct level and the string is taut.
Some people like to tie a small, heavy weight, like a washer, to the bottom of the string to make it easier to stand on.
Step 3: Shoot
Keep pressure on the string so that it stays taut while you shoot. This will stabilize the camera and eliminate any vertical shake.
Step 4: Carry a beanbag
Another trick is to carry a small beanbag around for times you want to steady your camera on an uneven or sloped surface. The beanbag easily can be manipulated to get the camera at just the right angle.
Step 5: Lean
If there is a tall object like a tree or a pole, lean the camera against it to help steady your shot.
Step 6: Use your body
If you have nothing to lean on, use your body. Bend your arms so they are tucked in close to your chest, and place the camera in the palms of your hands.
Step 7: Sit
If you’re on the ground, try sitting with your knees pulled up to your chest, and your camera resting on your knees.
Step 8: Show off
Show off your crisp, clear photographs.
Did You Know? The 1999 horror movie The Blair Witch Project made many filmgoers sick—literally—because of the shaky handheld camera work.
