FAQs
What Hahnel remote shutter release models is this extension cable compatible with?
This extension cable is compatible with Hahnel HRC80, HRN80, HRS80, and HRO80 remote shutter release models.
How long is the extension cable?
The cable length is 2 meters.
What type of connector does this cable use?
It features a black mini-jack connector.
Can I use this extension cable with other brands of remote shutters?
No, this cable is specifically designed for the compatible Hahnel remote shutter release models mentioned and is not guaranteed to work with other brands.
Does this cable require any batteries or power source?
No, this is a passive extension cable and does not require its own power source. It relies on the power connection through the remote shutter release system.
How do I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials.
What should I do if the cable stops working?
First, check all connections and ensure compatibility. If the issue persists, try troubleshooting steps outlined in the guide or consider replacing the cable if it appears damaged.
Troubleshooting
Remote shutter release not functioning after connecting the extension cable.
Verify that the extension cable is securely plugged into both the camera and the remote. Ensure your camera and remote are compatible Hahnel models (HRC80, HRN80, HRS80, HRO80). Check that your camera is powered on and the remote is properly connected. If issues persist, try connecting the remote directly to the camera without the extension to confirm the remote itself is working.
Intermittent connection or signal loss.
Inspect the mini-jack connectors on both ends of the extension cable and the remote/camera for any dirt or damage. Gently clean the connectors with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not under excessive tension or being bent sharply, as this can affect the connection.
Cable feels loose when connected.
This may indicate wear on the connectors. Ensure you are using the correct compatible Hahnel remote and camera port. If the connection remains loose despite being the correct model, the cable may need replacement.
