Self timer Cable Release 20sec
Nifty accessory that allows you to put yourself into the picture. Most newer cameras have an electronic self-timer. Many older cameras have a mechanical timer built into the camera. But no stereo camera from the 1950s has a self-timer. That`s when this accessory becomes useful.Before using the timer on a specific camera, you should first adjust the plunger travel to make sure it will fire the camera. First release screw B. Then rotate part C to adjust the plunger length. (For Stereo Realists I found that a good setting is when the tip of the plunger is at the level of the threaded part). When done, tighten screw B. Screw A is free to rotate and can be used to screw the timer on the camera.
How does it work? | It screws into your camera`s cable release socket. (Note: The threads of this timer have a standard tapered thread while the Stereo Realist has straight threads. So the fit might not look/feel perfect, but I have been using tapered threaded accessories in my Realists for years without any problems.) |
Turn the red handle counterclockwise to generate a 5-20 second delay (adjustable). | |
Cock camera shutter ready to take the picture. The camera must be placed on a tripod or other sturdy support. | |
Push button on side to release and run to position yourself in the picture. | |
After the preset delay, the plunger will come all the way out and press the camera`s shutter. |
