SoftRelease 16-Inch Threaded Camera Cable Release
Capture photographs with deliberate, controlled shutter operation using the serenoviq™ SoftRelease 16-Inch Threaded Camera Cable Release. Designed for compatible cameras with a matching threaded mechanical cable-release socket, this classic accessory lets you actuate the shutter through a flexible cable rather than pressing directly on the camera body.
The 16-inch (40.6 cm) cable provides additional reach between your hand and the camera's shutter control. Its flexible braided protective sheath, threaded metal connector, and spring-loaded mechanical release plunger make it a practical companion for tripod photography, close-up work, and carefully composed analog images.
Finished in black with silver-tone metal fittings, SoftRelease combines a traditional mechanical design with a compact form. It requires no batteries, charging, or electronic connection.

Protective Tip Cap Included
The included black protective cap covers the exposed connector tip during storage, helping keep it protected when the cable release is not in use.
02 / Materials & Construction
Built Around Mechanical Simplicity
SoftRelease combines a flexible cable assembly with metal connection and release components. The outer covering, connector, plunger, grip, and protective cap each serve a distinct purpose in everyday handling.
Braided Protective Cable Sheath
The cable has a black braided outer sheath surrounding the inner cable assembly. The flexible construction allows the cable to curve naturally between the camera connection and the release button, while the outer covering helps protect the assembly during normal use.
Metal Threaded Connector & Release Components
The connector features a silver-tone metal finish and a threaded tip for attaching to a matching camera socket. The release assembly also incorporates metal plunger components that transfer manual movement through the cable to the compatible shutter-release mechanism.
Molded Black Grip & Protective Cap
The release grip and removable tip cap are molded black components. The grip provides a practical surface for pressing the release plunger, while the cap helps protect the exposed connector tip during storage.
Color: Black cable and molded components with silver-tone metal fittings.

16 Inches of Flexible Control
With an overall cable assembly length of approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm), SoftRelease gives you room to operate the shutter without placing your hand directly against the camera body. The flexible cable can be arranged into a loose curve during use and storage.

05 / Use & Handling
A Simple, Traditional Release Workflow
Step 01 · Check Camera Compatibility
Confirm that your camera has a threaded mechanical cable-release socket matching the connector on SoftRelease. Do not force the threaded tip into a socket with a different thread or connection design.
Step 02 · Attach the Connector
Remove the protective cap and carefully align the threaded metal connector with the camera socket. Screw it in gently until it is seated securely; avoid overtightening.
Step 03 · Compose Your Photograph
Set up the camera and tripod as needed. Arrange the flexible cable without sharp bends, tension, or pressure against nearby camera controls.
Step 04 · Press the Release Plunger
Press the plunger smoothly to actuate the camera's compatible mechanical shutter release. Follow your camera's operating instructions for shutter speed, exposure, and any bulb-mode operation.
Step 05 · Disconnect and Store
Unscrew the connector carefully after use, replace the protective cap, and store the cable in a loose loop. Keep the metal connector clean and dry.
