The KAISER camera kit 6105 includes a 500 mm remote shutter release cable finished in black fabric with stainless steel details. This mechanical shutter release is designed to trigger compatible cameras from a short distance, reducing camera shake during long exposures, macro work and studio photography. The cable features a threaded rotating tip and a locking screw for secure connection to the camera's shutter release socket, and its simple mechanical design operates without batteries.
Advantages
The remote shutter release cable offers reliable mechanical operation that does not depend on batteries or electronics, ensuring consistent performance in varied shooting conditions. The 50 cm length gives enough reach for most tripod-mounted setups while remaining compact and easy to handle. A threaded rotating tip and locking screw provide a secure, vibration-free connection, and the black fabric covering improves durability and resists wear.
Suitable for
- Long exposure photography (night scenes, light trails)
- Macro photography where camera movement must be minimised
- Studio and product photography with tripod setups
- Situations requiring battery-free, mechanical shutter control
When it may not be suitable
The KAISER 6105 is a mechanical cable release intended for cameras with a compatible mechanical shutter socket; it will not work with cameras that require electronic or proprietary remote protocols. It is also limited by its 50 cm length for setups requiring greater distance between photographer and camera.
Key specifications
- Cable length: 50 cm (approx. 19.7 in)
- Finish: black fabric covering with stainless steel details
- Connector: threaded rotating tip with locking screw for secure attachment
- Operation: mechanical, no batteries required
- Primary use: remote shutter actuation to reduce camera vibration
How to use
Attach the threaded tip to the camera's mechanical shutter release socket and tighten the locking screw to secure the connection. Hold the camera on a stable support or tripod, compose the shot and press the cable release to trigger the shutter; press and hold for as long as the camera's shutter mechanism allows for timed exposures. After use, loosen the locking screw and remove the cable to store it safely.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the camera has a compatible mechanical shutter release socket
- Decide if 50 cm length is sufficient for your workflow and tripod setups
- Check whether a mechanical cable release meets your need versus electronic remotes or intervalometers
Usage recommendations
Use the KAISER 6105 with a tripod for long exposures and macro work to minimise vibration. Ensure the locking screw is firmly tightened to prevent accidental detachments during shooting. Store the cable coiled without sharp bends to preserve the fabric covering and internal mechanism.
