Cable Release Adapter
I have recently bought a Nikonos V camera which doesn’t have a cable release socket. It does, however, have a B setting, and a tripod socket. I plan to use it for foul weather photography, which is never that easy with standard 35mm cameras. I’ve ordered one of the adapters that has a belt and Velcro to hold it in place. The cable action seems to simply push on the shutter button. Has anyone tried one of these? Are they any good? If so, they could also be useful with many 35mm compacts that lack a remote release option.

Alex, I used one with a Sony NEX-3 which, apart from not being a film camera, matches your scenario in all respects. My adapter has a bracket design, adjustable by sliding bolt fittings. It works perfectly adequately. I think it came from FirstCall.

Thanks, Michael and Richard. I’m sorry I never asked first! I have the Firstcall catalogue, but it never occurred to me to look. I’ll see how the Velcro one fits, although it sounds like reliability will be the issue.

Fret not, Alex. I put mine away safely in the garage when I stopped using it and it's yours if you want it. Just got it out and it looks as good as new.
