bob_salomon Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 <p>Randy, Did you read what it says at the top of that page?<br> He might try a 16 or 32' air release.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall ellis Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 <p>Doh! No, I didn't see that. George usually has all that stuff on hand. Sorry about that...</p> <p>- Randy</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_staples Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 <p>I have a couple of Kopal self-timers. Got them on the Bay for about $10 each. They have a maximum 15-second delay.<br> Brian</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_staples Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 <p>Sorry I spelled it wrong. it's KOPIL. Search for that and "self-timer" on the Bay and you'll find some from $10 to about $50.<br> Brian</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec1 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 <p>If you will look around you'll probably find some old Kodak selftimers made to attach onto the end of a cable release. There are types - geared and pneumatic. Both work perfectly well for what you are seeking to do.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.p._dahl_n Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 <p>I recommend an old Autoknips IV ot V. I own a IV that I use with a cable release extention adapter:<br> http://www.xn--drahtauslser-djb.com/SESSION/28305/P1.html<br> http://www.submin.com/general/collection/accessories/autoknips_iv.htm</p> <p>There are also selftimers that you attach on a cable release, but I don't find them reliable and can't be used on some cable releases. I have an example of the modern black self timer Randall Ellis linked to, but it vibrates a lot so I never use it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
