  The Pentax bellows release is normally not
usable for two cameras because one end has
a larger straight threaded end for stopping down
the lens on the bellows. But my brother Pat
managed to acquire two of them and swapped
parts around to make a release with two standard
tapered ends on it.

  So if you could find a pair of Pentax
releases at a good price this may work
for you.

  On the subject of Rowi, their stuff is
still available in Canada. I've bought their
3/8 to 1/4" tripod bushings recently. If
someone wanted I could check if the dual
release is available. (Could you tell me
the Rowi number again though, I deleted
that email.)
