Cable release for digital camera?

I was quite intrigued by this idea of using a cable release on a digital camera:

It probably screws into the tripod thread below the camera.

Does anyone have any idea where I can make such a custom fit metal bracket?

Should be no problem buying and attaching a cable release. Instant digital camera cable release!

Aren't there electronic shutter releases for those cameras? Those may be better.

i know of a few machine shops at Bt Batok area that does aluminium working. Something simple like that....probably sets you back $30 or so.

Not every digital camera has, so this might be a good workaround.

hi chris
unless i am mistaken, there should be one for the nikon 4500 featured.
in fact, I think its the same as the one I have for my 4300...
its pricey though....$120!!!

Hi,
I got the remote control for coolpix 4500... quite useful, but it got one disadvantage compare with normal cable release... it cannot press and lock. So unlike normal cable release, you need to press and hold for one minute if you want one minute of exposure...

Have a nice day.
