JJC Mechanical Shutter Release Cable Cord with Bulb-Lock for Fuji Fujifilm X-M5 X-T5 X-T4 X-T3 X-T30 X-PRO3 X100VI X100V X100F X-T20 X-T2 X-E4 X-E3, Sony RX1R II RX10 IV III, Lecia M10 M9 & More

okay, look...it takes a couple of minutes to look at the instructions and figure out the way this works. Maybe do that before rushing to write a bad review about how you can't make something work. Yes, out of the box, it appeared that the cable was locked in the fully depressed position, and would not spring back, but read the instructions, fiddle with it a little, and...jeepers, works like a charm! And yeah, the cable extends a good inch and a half - but who's forcing you to push the plunger that far? Plus, I believe the camera button would simply stop the extension without any damage being done... unless you're just DETERMINED to push that plunger ALL THE WAY - and if that's how you treat equipment, I don't think your gear is going to last very long anyway. Sorry to be so harsh, but figure things out before rushing to write a bad review.

This is not a good product. The travel of the plunger is, literally, 1-1/2 inches. I don't know of any camera that requires that much travel to depress a shutter. Also, it is impossible to set it so that the plunger retracts. It seems to always want to stay engaged, depressing the shutter and not spring back. This product shouldn't even be sold it's that bad. Now, I know there is a ring that you can finagle with that is supposed to allow for spring back but, it does not work and is hit and miss, even when you think you got it right. Horrible.

The remote shutter definitely works as pictured, but has a few strange quirks.For starters, the locking mechanism is a bit confusing, and takes a few minutes to understand. Essentially, the "lock, unlock" directions are printed on a part that doesn't actually lock the tool, but rather they describe what to do on another, smaller part directly above them.The metal button pusher thingy, for lack of a better word :p, extends out a good 3/4 inch, which seems to be a bit excessive for how small camera shutters tend to be. It doesn't really *do* anything poorly because of this, it just seems like a poor design choice.By far the most annoying thing about this product is the cap for the bar you push down to activate the shutter. I don't know why it's built this way, but the cap comes separate from the entire part, and has to be screwed on. It is EXTREMELY loose, and tends to fall off if left unattended. If I were to ever lose this part, I'd have to stab myself with the metal bar in order to activate the shutter, which is pretty painful. I'd recommend that you super glue this part if you are afraid of losing it.

I bought this for my fuji xt4, not that I really needed it , but it was something "Just nice" .Good : Finishing materials are good , beautiful presence, it works correctly .Bad : Even screwed with a heavy hand it get's lost !!!! In the end I opt to leave it at home.I am a birding photographer, (plus macro) who goes out quite a lot . For me it's important to have things secure, and not loose them while taking photos.

I love that I can use this on my brand new Fuji X100V as well as on my vintage film cameras. It's solidly built and looks like it will last a long time. As other people have noted it takes a few seconds to figure out the locking mechanism but it's actually dead simple. Keep in mind that the indicated length includes the button assembly so it seems a bit shorter than it is.

I have ever owned. I used an older one on my FujiFilm X-100F until it would fire the shutter anymore. I thought at first something was wrong with the camera but I looked at the cable release and saw that the tripping rod protruded very short. The new one works great, looks great, and feels terrific (didn't want to over use great here.)

I have been using this for the past week with my Zenza Bronica SQ-Ai; after about two shoots in Cape May, NJ, the very tip of the cable, where the threads are, broke off inside of my camera. It was a real pain to get out, but fortunately it still works (just doesn’t have much penetration into the camera, it only threads about half a turn before reaching the maximum). The needle that goes into the camera is super long, I guess to accommodate multiple types of cameras with varying shutter release ports, I haven’t had any issues with getting stuck or anything. For $10, it’s a good deal, just don’t leave the cable dangling from the cam, the threads are cheap, brittle metal, waiting to break.

I have a couple old film cameras... I like to take long pictures for smooth effects... having this remote control keeps my camera from jiggling. That's why I bought this and it does the job perfectly. CHEAPLY!!!! Recommended!!!

So many of these reviews on here well they clearly don't know what they are doing. This is incredibly easy to use and works well if you have common sense. Reading some of these reviews, you'd think that a person needs to hire NASA to figure this thing out. Not the case. Hooked it up to my Canon AE-1 P and it worked a real treat. Tested it several times and never an issue. I bought it because a fellow photographer lent me his and figured for the price why not. The quick release is quite nice as it will end the shot really fast when using it on a film camera. I'll admit the chrome plating is a little cheap but for the cost I can't complain. Don't hulk turn it into your camera and it won't break. You do NOT need it ridiculously tight into the shutter button to work. Just barely snug is fine. If you hulk tighten it in yea it will break I'm sure, so don't. It's not meant for that. Beware of all the bad reviews on this because it is very clear they just want to whine because they weren't smart enough to figure out a device so simple that a toddler could use it. You don't need instructions to use it. Use a little common sense and it will go a long way. Overall I am pleased with it but of course will upgrade to a German shutter release cable later on but at $80 for one of those, I figured this would suffice for now and it definitely has.

I don't abuse my gear, I only used this once with my Pentax 6x7 medium format camera and it fell apart on me in the middle of a street. The first exposure I tried, the end piece separated, which then didn't trip the shutter. I snapped it back on, but it only kept falling off over and over again. I had to glue it in place. The next issue was the threading is so thin and weak, some of it broke off inside the shutter release port. I had to fish that out.i've been using it since with these deficiencies because it probably isn't even worth the hassle to send it back for a replacement.

I was a bit confused on how to use it at first but I managed to get it working on my Nikon FM10. So for those who have something in that similar lineup of Nikon brand model cameras there’s a good chance it could work on yours too. Just check to see if there’s a tiny hole on your shutter button that works for shutter release cables. That’s my two cents.

I ordered this for the Sony RX10M4 as it has a mechanical shutter port on the cameras shutter button. This device didn't come with any meaningful, detailed instructions. It took some fiddling to attach, and I was worried I might be forcing it. I got it attached and it worked, but not always. It is also awkward and too heavy to leave attached to the camera, and it is a nuisance screwing it in and out of the camera port. It's been sitting in a drawer for now.

Poorly made. This was the only option on Amazon. It kept breaking at the trigger. I missed shots because had to put it together every time it breaks. And finally the the thread broke inside my camera shutter release. Nightmare.
