I am looking for recommendations for a Cable Release for a Sony P200 Camera on my Swarovski HD-ATS80 scope. I have got to find a better way to steady the camera/scope for taking wildlife pictures! By the time the camera timer has run its cycle....the object has usually moved......lol I have had the GRB-Griturn Cable Release with Bracket and a metal braided cable probably 24" recommended to me??? Please advise as to whether this is the best option, or only one option. It looks like this unit would run me $30 - $35.

Thanks in advance.....for your imput!

Just got my SRG-Griturn cable release bracket today. It is not a perfect fit with my Canon 590IS. The screw hole at the bottom of my camera is at the far left end, and the resulting fit can be seen in the photo (cable plunger head does not align with the shutter release button). To align the cable release plunger head with the shutter release button I had to angle the bottom bracket a little toward the back of the camera. the bottom bracket should also have a longer arm.

After this slight adjustment, I find that I can align the plunger with the shutter release button.

Recommendations for SRB: (a) lengthen bottom bracket by at least 1/2 inch, and (b) provide a sliding tubular sleeve with adjusting screw over the horizontal arm with drilled holes. This would give the whole setup an infinitely variable adjustment. Well . . . almost.
