Cable Releases for Analog Cameras

Cable releases for analog cameras are mechanical releases that fire the shutter on film cameras with a threaded release socket. This category includes Kaiser and JJC cable releases with a locking screw or locking disc, professional releases with a fabric sheath, a pneumatic cable and adapters.

A mechanical cable release helps prevent camera shake on a tripod and during long exposures. The lock holds the shutter open in Bulb mode. Choose a length to suit your work, such as 25, 40, 50 or 70 cm, or a 5 m pneumatic cable. A Kaiser adapter suits cameras without a socket, while an L-shaped adapter connects the release at a 90-degree angle.
