p.1 #1 · Canon N3 shutter release to mini phono cord?

Hi,

I am looking for an inexpensive Canon N3 to Miniphone short cord, no more than 3 feet but would prefer shorter (say 1 foot). Something like this Pocket Wizard cord, but not at the PW price:
BH PocketWizard N3 to Mini

Anyone got suggestions?

Details: I am trying to connect a Canon 5D to a Profoto Air Sync so that I can remotely wirelessly trigger the camera when not tethered to a computer. Currently, when not tethered, I use a Profoto Air Remote in the camera shoe, to adjust and trigger the lights, and wired Canon release.

I want the Air Remote off camera as a transmitter and the Air Sync as an on camera receiver to trigger the shutter. Seems like I will lose half-press capability, but gain a lot more maneuverability otherwise.

Yes thanks, that would work, but I don't know what I would do with 54" of cord. If I can't find anything shorter I may well go for the FlashZebra.
