Tethered Shooting 40D in the studio

[Bend The Light]

I want to have a go at tethered shooting in the studio. I tried at home and it's working fine in EOS Utility. Problem is, the USB cable is quite short...

Any problems with using extensions, or are there proper alternatives out there...longer, curly, or whatever? What do you use?

Cheers

16' is the longest USB cable you can rely on with out a powered hub in between. This is what I like for tethered shooting in the studio.

That camera stand is badass - if I ever have a studio it will have one of those in it.

For a measly $1,300.00 plus shipping and handling and it can be yours.
