Camera Tripod Attachment
I have a Mamiya C33 TLR Camera. I need the attachment that allows you to screw in a cable release. Ideas?
I need the Cable release sprocket! It is very important that I have one otherwise the camera shakes so bad on the tripod camera shake will destroy the pictures! I need help! Anyone please help. I tried to big on cameras for parts but that turns out too expensive! Point me in the right direction!
I received one answer but the C33 and the C330 are very different. Mine’s so much older it doesn’t have the cable release on the lenses. It is this little flat piece of metal that has threads in it to put the cable release in. You screw it in and it allows the cable release to push the shutter for you. The Button consists of a flat piece of metal with a flared out spot that your push it down with.
If your tripod is shaking, it is too light weight for your camera.
All the lenses I had for my C330 had the cable release attachment on the lenses. I did not have to add anything. You will have to take your lens to a repair shop and have them look at your lens. They might be able to help you out.
You can call Mamiya’s help line and see what they say.
Do you really need that tripod?
A tripod is usually clumsy to carry around and many photographers hold their cameras in hand while shooting. But if you want sharper pictures, especially out in nature, bring and use a tripod! The longer the lens used and the slower the shutter speed, the greater is the risk of blurring caused by camera shake.
Tripods are used for both still and motion photography to prevent camera movement. They reduce camera shake, and thus are instrumental in achieving maximum sharpness. A tripod is also helpful in achieving precise framing of the image, or when more than one image is being made of the same scene, for example when bracketing the exposure.
A tripod is of great help in composing and framing your photos. Once the camera is mounted on the tripod you are left free to get the framing and composition perfect.
Furthermore once you have chosen your frame, there is no need to look through the viewfinder any more. This can be a great help with portrait photography if you can focus on an eye contact with people and take the photo when they’re not expecting it, being more spontaneous (if you want it that way, of course!).
So, if you think it is worth your trouble to be carrying the tripod for your next shooting, what kind of a tripod to choose?
There are two main characteristics to consider: weight and height.
A tip when choosing your tripod: The trick is to get the right balance between weight and strength/stability.
Obviously small, lightweight tripods are ideal for people who don’t want to carry too much, but there is always a trade-off between convenience and quality, and a small, light tripod will not be as rigid as a large, heavy one.
You will need to find a tripod that can support the weight and size of the camera and various lenses and other equipment that will be attached to it. Ensure that your tripod has been classified to hold the maximum amount of weight you will be placing on it.
The height of a tripod is important, not only for your pictures, but also for your back. Most tripods feature a center column that the camera is placed on and can be raised to extend the height of the camera. Choose the size of your tripod depending on your shooting style, but remember, the higher you go, less stability you will have.
Another important part of the tripod is the tripod head. The head of a tripod is where your camera is attached to the frame (legs), and with some tripods you will have to purchase this item separately. You will want the tripod head to freely move as your subject moves. There are two main types of tripod heads: ball heads and pan heads. The ball head is shaped like a ball and allows you to freely move your camera in any direction. The pan head works by controlling the two main axis movements, left-right tilt and forward-back tilt. If your shooting style varies, then a ball head will work best.
