Adjustable Mechanical Cable Release Adapter for Digital Cameras
Description
This is a "generic" flash/hot shoe-mounted adapter for a digital camera's shutter to be remotely triggered using a standard mechanical cable release. I don't actually recommend doing this -- it's usually better to use the wired or wireless electronic remote means provided by your camera. However, I've gotten more than a few cable releases thrown-in with camera/lens lots purchased via eBay, and if you've got these nice cable releases, why not use 'em? This adjustable adapter mounts in the flash/hot shoe to allow positioning the cable above the unthreaded shutter button of the camera so that the extending center portion of the cable release can trigger an exposure. The cable releases generally have an odd tapered thread, which I have implemented based on the V2 OpenSCAD design in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:186443 ... and thus this inherits its attribution, non-commercial, license. All other aspects are my original design.
