Long USB Extension

Mark Anderson said:

Hi

I am shooting a lot of interiors for a friend who builds kitchens.
I use a Pro90 (getting D30 in 3 weeks though ). I use BreezeSys
Remote capture, and the supplied USB cable. However, it's a real
pain as I have to hold the laptop most of the time. I want to use a
long USB cable so I have more freedom to place the laptop on a
chair and move the tripod around a bit more freely.

Has anybody tried any USB extension cables? If so, what's the
longest you've used?

Thanks

Mark

I always use a 3meter USN extension cable to connect my G1 to my
PC. My USB ports are on the back of my computer and it's just
impossible to plug in the cable everytime I wanted to download some
photos. It works great, never had any problems with it. It's always
connected to my PC, and I connect my G1 to the other end when
needed.

One thing: I tried to connect my scanner to the extension cable
once, and oddly enough that didn't work! Couldn't figure out why,
it just wasn't detected by the computer....

Hope this helps
