Control Grip 1 / 2 & M.18V Battery Holder 1
Summary | Main Characteristics | Notes - Related Units |
Pistol-grip type power supply for the Motor Drive 1 or 2, containing an
M. 18V Battery Holder 1 that accepts twelve AA batteries. M. 18V Control Grip 1 and M. 18V Control Grip 2 are functionally and electrically identical; the only difference is a very minor cosmetic redesign. |
Quick and firm direct mounting to the Motor Drive 1 or 2, or via a Relay
Cord. Large, easy-to-operate mode selector dial (Sequence-Off-Single). Solid-state circuit to prevent wind-on during shutter opening and after last exposure. |
Spare battery holders are available, facilitating uninterrupted motor
drive operation during long shooting sessions. Relay Cord 1.2m allows the photographer to carry the Control Grip in his pocket to reduce the weight and bulk of his hand-held equipment or to prevent battery degradation in sub-zero temperatures. Relay Cord 10m is available for extended remote control. |
