Hi Guys, came across a site on making a bracket for Coolpix 950.
http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/photo/bracket.html
Decided to make one for my C700UZ
Why?
To shoot a long exposure (especially night scenes), we have to use timer mode to prevent shaking while shooting.
But its very annoying to wait for the timer to fire!
And the Olympus guys did not include a cable release function nor a remote control.
Thus, I decided to follow the guide and made this!
Materials required:
1. Lotsa patience!
2. Aluminium shelf bracket (from DIY stores)
3. Cable Release
Tools required:
1. Drill with a set of drill bits (Carrefour have some cheapo ones)
2. Reamer (I did not have one Very gd for cleaning up burrs in drilled holes, or for enlarging holes)
3. Clamps (for clamping down bracket while drilling)
4. Small saw (for cutting away end of bracket)
5. Solder bit n solder (I'd used solder -see insert in pic- to attached the cable release to the bracket.)
