Add a Cable Release to a Holga 120 Camera
The limited options of the Holga 120 camera can be a hindrance. Long exposure shots can be tricky. Fortunately, Holgaphiles continue to offer modifications to those wishing to expand their experience. Now one can simply add a cable release to their Holga 120 camera to allow control of the shutter and eliminate camera shake. The following instructions offer one an easy route to modifying your Holga with a cable release.
Instructions
1. Shop around for a Holga cable-release adapter kit. It can be purchased from specialty photography shops and websites or online auction sites.
2. Slide the cable-release adapter over the lens of your Holga 120. As these kits are official products of the Holga manufacturer, they are designed for a tight, correct fit.
3. Screw the twelve inch shutter cable into the hole on top of the adapter.
4. Mount your modified Holga onto a tripod.
5. Put the camera on bulb setting (switch located at bottom of the camera).
