kstllwrt Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I remember reading about a simple way to make your own electric cable release for the bronica cameras, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link or instructions? Thanks, Kristopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tor_kviljo1 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 taking from memory (my GS1 is in the closet, but the cable release back home) I belive You just buy a 2.5mm jack plug, solder on a 2-lead cable, connect a push-button swich on the end (making the cable release as long as you want) to connect the leads to make the exposure. As a lot of super8mm movie cameras had similar release and they were very common, yuo can find them in the more messy drawers in old photo-shops. Possibility to go wrong here is if the Bronica have a 3.5mm plug instead of 2.5mm: use a ruler and measuer (diametre of plug hole). All wires should be soldered for positive connection.

bob_b. Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I use the cable release from my Canon Elan7 - model RS60-E3. Same connector, no modifications, works perfectly. I think I recall seeing a website or two with information about building one of those. Pretty straightforward. But also pretty inexpensive to buy.

kstllwrt Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Thank you both. I have an Elan II, so I can kill two birds with one stone. Kristopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
