Re: long shutter release cable
For what you're planning I would try a long haul truck garage; maybe a shop that services either lawnmowers or farm implements or possibly an auto wrecker. You're looking for a "throttle" or "choke" cable. Maybe a good bike shop could fabricate one to your size requirements too. 5m might be stretching it. Does it have to be hand triggered or could it be a timer? I know there are mechanical wind up shutter release timers for sale on ebay. ~m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryuji Suzuki" <rs@silvergrain.org> To: <alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 3:02 PM Subject: long shutter release cable > I know this has nothing to do with alt, but so is everything > else I post anyway, so why not? > > I'm looking for a long (3 to 5m) mechanical shutter release > cable and bought an air release cable just to confirm it > doesn't work.
