JJC Threaded Cable Release for Film Cameras | Mechanical Shutter Release Cable with Bulb Lock

If your camera has a threaded shutter button — and most classic film cameras do — a cable release is one of those accessories you’ll wonder how you shot without. Night photography, long exposures, macro work, large format, or just squeezing maximum sharpness out of a tripod shot: pressing the shutter button by hand introduces shake at exactly the wrong moment. A cable release fires the shutter without your hand ever touching the camera.

The JJC TCR series screws snugly into the standard threaded shutter release socket found on classic Leicas, Nikon F-series, Canon AE-1s and F-1s, Pentax K1000s, Hasselblads, Rolleiflexes, large format lenses with Copal shutters, and countless other mechanical cameras. Press the plunger and the pin trips your shutter cleanly — no wobble, no blur.

The bulb lock is where it earns its keep. Set your camera to Bulb, press the plunger, flip the lock, and the shutter stays open hands-free for as long as you need — star trails, light painting, pinhole exposures, whatever you’re chasing. Unlock it and the shutter closes. Simple, mechanical, no batteries, nothing to fail on you at 2am in the cold.

Choose your setup:

Length: The 40cm (15.7″) version is compact and tucks neatly into any bag — perfect for tripod work where you’re standing right at the camera. The 70cm (27.6″) gives you extra slack to stand back from the setup, useful for large format, macro rigs, and awkward tripod positions.

Color: Black for the classic look, Red or Silver if you want your release easy to spot in a dark bag — or matched to your camera’s trim.
