[MF3D.FORUM:252] Dual Cable Release

There have been several messages about dual cable releases recently.
I'd just like to say that this is an item that's pretty easy to build
yourself, and very inexpensive.  The attached JPEG image shows one I put
together for about $10 (two $4.95 cable releases, a bit of angled
aluminum, and a piece of plastic 1" x 1/2" x 1/4").  I would suggest you
remove (unscrew completely) the time exposure locking screws if the
releases you use have them.  "Dynamic synchronization" is achieved by
rocking your thumb until you begin to feel resistance in both plungers.
This kludge has worked well for me, never "locked up", and the price and
availability couldn't be beat.
