CameraCables

These cables are sold at the Camera Axe store.

Unfortunately there are many different shutter trigger plug types. Many camera manufactures like Canon and Nikon even have different plug types for different lines of cameras. It sure would be nice if there was a standard plug type, but there is not. Below are a list of plug types, the cameras they work with, and a pinout diagram. While these cables are sold at our store, the pinouts are provided below for those who would rather make their own cables.

One important thing to note about camera trigger cables is that all DSLR cameras have a pretty long shutter delay. [This page] lists many different cameras and their shutter delay. If your camera isn't on the list and you can't find the shutter delay in your instruction manual (it's not usually listed) then a general rule is your delay will be between 40 and 150 milliseconds. This is a very long time for some types of high speed photography. You should look at our FlashCables page to see how triggering a flash instead of a camera can result in essentially zero delay.
