Yah, the problem with SP is that it will cost me $19 to ship up to canada. that's the same price as the cable itself... hardly worth it in my mind. The cable looks so flimsy and cheap. I would feel much more comfortable with a big fat braided cable like this... I emailed the seller to inquire about the flexibility at the ends. If I end up buying this I will take some pictures and try it out. Perhaps it's a good choice for those wishing to run UA-5s or optimod V3s upright in bags...
