Wireless shutter remote for Hasselblad H4

Recommended Posts

<p>Guys,</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me of a suitable (and of course cheap) wireless shutter remote trigger for the Hasselblad H4D?<br>

I have a set of Phottix Atlas II triggers, which I used successfully on DSLRs as a wireless shutter remote, but that didn't seem to work on the H4D. Ideally I'd like to be able to do focussing as well as remote shutter release. And yes, it needs to be wireless.<br>

Any suggestions?</p>

<p>All digital shutter remotes work in much the same way, by shorting electrical contacts (i.e. they're effectively simple switches). The only thing that differs between cameras is the proprietary connector.<br>

The "official" Remote Cord H for the H4D appears to have a simple stereo jack on the camera end, so all that's needed is to make a lead with a standard 2.5mm stereo jack as used by the likes of Y-N RF603 remote triggers to the correct sized jack for the 'blad. Cost - about $3 for two jack plugs and a length of 2 core co-ax cable. Then add cheap remote triggers.</p>

The atlas II triggers used with that stereo jack did not trigger the H4, so it looks like it's not that straight forward. The plug I

got is a perfect fit, but doesn't trigger the H4 with atlas triggers. Is it possible the H4 needs some internal setting set to "remote trigger"?
