Yes. Less red eyes and the possibility to bounce the flashlight to a bright 
ceiling or wall.

The 0,3m cord is the right one or the coiled version. Use the small hook on the 
cord to fix the cord to the eyelets, so it is not in your way or in front of 
the lens.

The bouncegrip is silly without a winder, I think. I always use the Bouncegrip 
on the right-hand side of the camera. In that configuration, you need the BG 
with the small extra trigger cord. It makes the whole unit very heavy, thus 
enabling to hold it steady.
