Fire a DSLR

Using the MicroSync® II to Fire a DSLR:

The MicroSync® II transmitter and receiver can be used to remotely fire most DSLRs. Your DSLR must have an electronic shutter release input (which most current DSLRs have). The DSLR that you have determines which accessory cable that you need. Camera firing cords are available for most Canon, Nikon, & Pentax DSLRs.
