Typical, I just threw one out about a month ago. Hadn't used it for years, and as soon as its gone there's a use for it, sorry!
It was just as you describe, and old cable release & solenoid that were "custom" fitted into a small maplins project box Power source was a 12volt dc battery (I think.) Simple, yet effective. I used to use it to fire a 645 camera that was positioned up a 100 pole...one of those ideas that everyone thought great, but very few actually went ahead and booked! > Hi list > > I went to buy an IR remote release for my Fuji S2 and found they > don't exist.
