Can this be done with winder I or winder II or motor drive or whatever?
I am not quite sure what the differences are between these anyway,
except for price. Can someone clarify? I have a few OM bodies (1N, 2N,
&4) and I have occasionally used them together paired together with a
manual dual cable release, but synchronization isn't easy to maintain.
The winder option sounds interesting, although I hate adding a lot of
weight to the rig. Do the winders actually have plug sockets in them
already, so that all you need is a cable with the right plugs on the
ends to connect them?
