REMOTE SHUTTER

Hi, guys

I post here becouse, after all, my issue is related to a flash connector

Question is: I am leaving this friday to Bahamas with Wetpixel expedition and Seacam wanted 1500 USD for a remote control to shut my camera remotely (from the polecam)

Since I have a remote Nikon cable (MC-30) and noted that the right bulkhead of my housing had 4 cables loose, i thought I might be able to set up the rig myself.

As you can see, I have already connected the remote plug that goes into the camera inside the housing with the wiring (the MC30 uses 3 cables to fire the camera).

Connecting the MC-30 shutter release to an S6 cable that goes into the bulkhead as normally, actually fires the camera (only issue is that I can not override the AF mode, but I will pre focus to the hyperfocal on land and set the camera in manual, so no problem here)

The point is that I would like to have a "clean" connection. That is, a cable that simply has the MC30 shutter in one side and the S6 socket in the other one, so I do no have to worry about connections getting loose while shooting (I have tried to connect 2 S6 cables one to the other so I have lengh enough for the pole cam, but does not seems to be failure proof)

Here are the 2 connectors involved:

Does somebody know how to open the S6 socket and whether I could mount it again on another cable while being yet waterproof?

thank you!!!

Pedro, does your housing have an extra accessory bulkhead hole, if so I know Eric Cheng got a remote from Aquatica for his Seacam housing, in his case I know he had that extra hole to install the bulkhead for the remote.

Maybe Eric could chime in on how he set his housing up, I don't remember if he used a Nikonos V or Ikelite bulkhead that he wired to his Canon cable release end (in this case your MC-30 10 pins plug) but once this is done all you need is a standard Ikelite cord and their extension (if you want longer) and a grip either the other end spliced in of the MC-30 or if you need water proof the grip from Aquatica that connect directly to the Ikelite cord.

Cheers
