... Because:
* Excessive manufacturing tolerances of the thread and even poor workmanship, especially the cable release
* The Velcro strap is too rigid and too bad placeable
* The trigger finger is not rounded and meets the trigger is not exactly
* The cable release is too heavy for compact cameras
* More than bad price / performance ratio
And now in Detailk
1. Mechanical design: Typical cheapest Far East manufacturing quality. The rotating ring to trigger determination of cable release has high manufacturing tolerances. This keeps the detent in the "free" position not secure and pops out slightly. Ergo: the trigger constantly locked himself and remains after firing in the "tripped" position terminals.
The mini-housing dismantled through transport shocks even when not in use by itself, because the housing screw connection to high tolerances has (Remedy managed liquid thread lock from the car repair box.)
The cable release keeps bad in his thread and thus falls when handling slightly from the belt.
This could still be alive if you know it, BUT:
2. Usability: The around the camera to legend Velcro strap is too wide, too rigid and not flexible, ie, it is only possible at extremely accurate fumbling to position the artificial fingers somehow above the trigger. Then please do not move the severe Drathauslöser, otherwise the belt slips immediately, as he sits in total too loose (the belt would be somewhat elastic, that would be no problem at all.)
Since the art-finger relative to Kamereauslöser has a relatively large diameter and a flat contact surface, it pushes already with minimal slippage instead of the shutter button on the camera body (Something Remedy created a reworking of the fingertips edge with fine emery paper.)
Addendum after several missions: the creation succeeds if you previously unscrewing the cable release from the belt. Now allow the harness to pull quite tight and secure in his position. But that is not in the uninformative Operation "manual". Nevertheless, he slipped too easily.
You have to know that the belt covers part of the control buttons on the camera back.
3. Binding of the trigger: it's too much hand force needed to trigger (The cable does not lubricated Teflon or the like, you can feel the scratching clearly.) Soulful trigger (press shutter release button halfway for focusing, for example) - forget it. Then, when the trigger has been re-arrested by itself, the shutter button on the camera quite a pressure-forces must stand on top of that. I'm afraid to damage it.
Overall, the cable release is made to crudely, but also too long and thus too heavy for a compact camera. The unit has a higher footprint than many Mini tripod ....
With a tripod mount can be the trigger not put it down, because its weight is too high and can vieeeel slipped the Velcro strap at the Kamea so.
Luckily I still have an old wire-timer from analog times, the best fit in the thread on the belt, but is much shorter and easier and now starts his second life. The Hama cable release migrates to where it belongs .... in the trash.
Given the miserable production quality, the price is a joke, even if you have no Profiqulität expected. That was my bad buy of the year. - Basta!
