Just saw this post. I think for me, the 4 pin bent at 90 degrees will be more useful. This because the distance between the XL2 body and the battery bracket holder does not have much clearance for me to insert the normal length 4 pin firewire in. I tried it last week - it went in - but was very tight (wedged between XL2 body and the metal bracket above it. I will have to do mail order for the http://www.ntcdistributing.com/products/fwangled.htm now.

To folks in London -
Why must you insist on UK distributor? Can't you just do mail order? Not everything can be found in UK :-). I should say - worse - for Singapore. Those exotic stuff that are only US made - I don't have a choice.

"Why must you insist on UK distributor?"

Here are some of the "reasons":

1/- Wholesaler here might be able to swallow much of the customs and transport costs.

2/- A Dealer here might have other alternatives/variations I could go, feel, see and try and THEN pick 'n go.

3/- More chance of getting "returns" treated with urgency here in the UK.

4/- If the part is faulty I could invoke UK consumer law to back up any dealer issue.
