Re: eos m6 mkii - no wireless flash control

Thread rez, but I didn't see any mention of using a cheap ($20-$30) hot shoe extension cord.  It's enough to be able to put it on a bracket further from the lens, though (of course) you can't use the EVF at the same time.

I was very disappointed to find out that the M6.2 doesn't have optical shutter release or flash trigger, to use with a 270EX II flash (which can be a RC-6 - like trigger).

What I'm going to try is getting a EL-100 to mount on the camera, which seems to add IR send and receive, if the M firmware supports actually using that.  Hoping the 270 can be a slave flash that way.  Maybe also add remote shutter release.

Or, it won't, and I'll sell whichever one I like less.
