Radio Shack used to have right angle mini plugs, that's where I got mine. Tandy corporation must have decided that they shouldn't export sensitive equipment to Indiana any more. ;) About all I could find in their catalog is this adapter- <http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog0.000000name=CTLG&product0.000000id=274 0372>

P.S. Tandy corporation has made some other unpopular decisions too- they closed down the Tandy subway. <http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/local/3976326.htm>

Really, though, what is it these people know that I don't? It's just two right angle sub-mini plugs and a couple of inches of cable. All parts available at Radio Shack.

Thanks, Steve Goss, Dallas Tx usa


True . . . for the most part. Radio Shack has numerous types of sub-mini phone plugs, but doesn't have a right angle one. Been looking for sturdy right-angle versions for quite some time to make more of these little cables. The diameter of a sub-mini phone plug is quite small and I've always been afraid of accidentally snapping off the tip on the straight ones.

Reason for wanting to home-brew these small cords? The Metz G15 and G16 grip have a sub-mini phone jack for exactly the same purpose as on the Bounce Grip 2. However, the M.Grip Cord will not reach its location (too short by just a hair). In frustration, I modified an In.Focus cord which is slightly longer. Took it apart and bypassed the ultra-mini PC board inside the "button" end.
