REMOTE SHUTTER

2 posts
  1. Hi, guys

     

    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 (S6) 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 :):ninja::P (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!!!
