Works sometime
I bought this to use for Panasonic 4/3rds cameras(just like Olympus) Was advertised to work with Panasonic too. It does work with Panasonic sometimes. My G6 works great and every time, my GH3 does not work. They are both Panasonic Lumix cameras, but the GH3 does not fire the flashgun. I have check the setting and they all seem to be set correctly. So if you have a GH3 look for something different. The reason I ws attracted to this cord was how long it streaches. That was a important to me the longer coiled cord give you much flexibility. For that reason I'm happy with the cord. Just does not work with some models.

Does its job
Using on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 camera as an extension for a strobe flash off camera. Fits well, timing of flash fire is accurate and is well constructed.I wish it had a hot shoe on top of the end that connects to the camera hot shoe to connect a second flash, but found a way to work around that on the other end of the connection.Cord is a little bulky and has to be held away from the lens to prevent blocking image.

No TTL with Panasonic GH-2 and Panasonic FL-360
The item description is deceitful ("Provides TTL SYNC for Olympus / Panasonic flashes") and I purchased it in good faith.The cable Product Manual NEVER says anything about TTL, just that it is "...for off-camera [use] to control the flash gun. It makes the flashgun to be more flexible...". No TTL mention anywhere.The cable makes my Panasonic DMW-FL360 flash work only in AUTO or MANUAL with my GH-2. Unfortunately I just noticed it recently (never used flash off camera so far...).The unit I received seems to be well built, I just think it was not designed to be a TTL cabe... Please correct that description, Amazon!!!!

Nice product, poor construction
This is a great flash cable until you mount it on a bracket with the flash. I had two of these cables crack at the bracket mount. Should include a screw to help stabilize and distribute the weight of the flash

Excellent product and vender/
This is a well made item - has the feel and heft of quality. I works well with my Panasonic G5 and Bowens flash. It is a bit longer than some of the flash cords for my DSLRs, and that adds capability. I highly recommend this product. The product also arrived well packaged and very fast from the vender.

Excellent product for using your speedlight off camera
Very easy to use. Plug one end into your camera's hot shoe, and your speedlight into the other end. Then hold the flash unit anywhere you want in order to create better lighting... high left or right, or on a tripod to the left of the subject. No need for flash triggers, etc. Excellent product. Love it....

Necessary accessory ...
... if you want to avoid the flat horrific lighting red eye from a camera mounted flash. This permits one to hold the flash at a more flattering angle. I was glad to see that one is available for the Lumix GX7 at a much lower cost than I spent on my prior Canon off camera shoe cord.

No TTL Connection; Poor Quality
The lower price and longer length of this flash cable compared to Olympus' OEM cable seemed too good to be true -- and they were. Through this cable, my FL-50 flash only occasionally talks to my E-620 and PEN E-P2 cameras and my FL-36 won't communicate at all. Only Manual and (non-TTL) thyristor Auto flash modes work, and sometimes the flash won't fire at all, Poor quality control seems to be at fault. The hot shoe pins don't line up very well. By contrast, I've never has a moment's problem with my two (expensive) Olympus FL-CB04 OEM flash TTL cables, even when linking two together end to end. Save your money and pass by this Chinese after-market knock-off.
