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-

P.S. Tandy corporation has made some other unpopular decisions too- they
closed down the Tandy subway.

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.
