Daniel, Ian, Bill, and Chuck,
Thanks for all of the insight. I agree, a longer cable would be better, and
the intervelometer device is interesting. I'm glad to hear that the
China/Hong Kong devices work ok. I will watch the market and see what I can
find.
Sorry to hear of your experience, Bill. I will watch out for that sort of
thing.
