Re: [photo-3d] Twin cable release (was Re: OM1 twins)

I know that Reel 3D has not carried these for quite a while. (I spoke
with them about 6 months or so when I was looking for a dual release.)
The type that Paul Talbot sells are very nice, although some people seem
to have more success than others in getting and keeping them
synchronized. The other problem is that it is easy to damage the cable
tips and/or the shutter buttons on the cameras if you leave the cable
releases atttached while transporting the rig around. Be careful. -Linda
