Getting there...
I've just ordered a Finepix F30 and was wondering what cable release set up other users found the most successful?

I use the SRB one. You can order it at http://www.srb-griturn.com/
I used to use the Eagle-eye one. It isn't as well made and the thread where you attach the cable wore out within a couple of months. Jessops also make one.

I also use the SRB unit, but the actual cable release is an old 12 inch model salvaged from one of my film cameras. See pages 3 & 4 of this link for photos of my setup:

Hi
Pete
I use a combination of the Srb and the eagleye adaptor as both have their merits. Iuse the base and upright of the eagleeye and the screw arm to hold the cable of the SRB as this allows a far more positive grip.......I lost the cable release on holiday due to the poor fit of the eagleeye.
I also purchased the cable itself from here

I can recommend this as it is black in colour and very flexible

I lost the screw arm of the first Eagle Eye one and had to buy an entire new unit (they wouldn't replace just the arm)..........and on the replacement the thread wore out.

You too? I remember the snort of derision the woman on the phone gave me when I asked for the replacement of the arm (for free) which had fallen off and been lost through (I believe) shoddy design. After several years of polite simpering customer service in Japan it got my back up. They didn't replace the arm though.
