came upon this little darling. i won't say where but it is an item well worth its price in saved space.
its very simple canon on their smaller battery chargers makes the plug so that it unfolds out of the body. that saves space. now nikon makes a nice charger that supports the D700,D90, D300 and so on. it comes with a 6ft extension cord. now thats real nice too if your socket is behind a couch. but for the most part in hotel rooms and other locations you can generally come up with a open wall socket. the stub plug makes you nikon charger and a few other brands into a wallwart type and basically halves your bulk.
Thanks for the plug (NO PUN INTENDED! :-) I'm glad you like 'em. It's been a long project for such a seemingly simple item! Too bad I didn't get these out a lot earlier (as in, before the holiday season--lots of other stuff going on (surf season and all). I have a few other very useful products coming out soon, hopefully mid-next year.
FYI, I flip mine around backwards plugged in to the adapter to store in my bag since the receptacle on the AC adapter is closer to the base that the top. This way, it takes up about 3/8" less space in my bag. If you look at your AC adapter, you'll see what I mean. I had another design that would fold flat, but it cost quite a bit more. I think sometimes simplicity is the best route.
As far as the Stub Plug goes, I hope to get these suckers into the hands of Scott Kelby and Thom Hogan...maybe even McNally. We'll see!
For Ishootsports3: What sync cord are you referring to? Maybe I can look into it.

id love some sync cords that are more like 6 inches long, i find that the foot long pw ones are ok but i dont need the length so having to deal with it is just annoying
just some nice simple short cord that get it done without having that extra that loops and is just annoying enough to be noteworthy
Skyvan: Thanks, that's why I started on this quest to make my (our) life easier. I'd like to build a custom bag someday as well, as I have dozens of drawings that I think would work well for most shooters.
Ishootsports3: Ah, I know exactly what you mean...and without the coiled wire would suit me fine too! I'll look into that. There was somebody doing that before the newer cables came out...I think it was related to a flash bracket company.

he ships to Canada. i do advise at minimum the 3 pack. it nice to have spares and you'll probably find something else it will work with too. i'm trying to come up with "The Island 6 Pack" pricing as a product sizing so well known to many.

From the main page :
(Sorry, US sales only, currently seeking international distributors)
and he will not accept paypal from non-us accounts
sorry i didn't realize that. i evidently didn't go that far in the paypal site. have you tried to contact him directly about that? iw ould do so go through the stub plug site contact me button to do it.
I initially set Paypal to accept foreign payments, but ran into a shipping snag when I tried to ship out an order to Canada. In fact, the lines were so long that I had to get back to work. I am learning more about the cost associated with Canadian shipping and trying to figure it out before I open it back up to Canada. I have received a couple inquiries from individuals requesting to be international distributors and I am researching that. Ultimately, I'd love to have B&H and/or Adorama sell these for me, as they have a great distribution network going that would make it easier for me to fulfill orders in a timely manner. I may also hit up Amazon.com.
Thanks for all you support during this growing phase!

I'd love to join you in that business...it would be a fun project to work on, getting bags and stuff made, super high quality custom designed bags. If you're serious hit me up via PM.
