how is shutter released on camera, when pole is extended

You would either have to use the gopro remote, or press the shutter button and use a time lapse function.

My son uses it for video, but you can buy the remote for go pro or use the blue tooth app on your phone. Other then that it's a nice pole.

It has the vertical shutter release and a switch to turn the vertical shutter release button off

If you set the camera on "Bulb", you can press remote button and slide it forward to lock the shutter open and remain open until you disengage the lock on the remote.

You probably can attach a camera but not sure how. Fully extended, the pole bends under its' own weight somewhat but a small camera shouldn't bend it much more.

Did not use it with the pole yet. Just bougth one as I decided not to mount the camerea on the mask anymore. Will still use the mask only for the mask. For close-ups (I guess) would be more confortable using the pole. But again, it depends what are you trying to capture. As per my review of the mask, there are pros and cons.

Either works... You can remove it completely and hold it separately or you can leave it snapped and it hangs below the camera while taking your shot. Occasionally I leave it off if I'm just holding the camera by the strap (sometimes a little more convenient without it completely). Otherwise if I'm going to throw the camera in my purse and don't want it to bang around I will leave it on and just open the top when I'm ready to use.

I haven't used it as a shutter release but will work. There's a switch on the transmitter that will switcj from flash trigger to shutter trigger.

Hey, Amazon4life, if you can screw a 1/4 bolt into the small end (top), then cut off the head of the bolt (file it where it's cut), any camera will screw onto that bolt. I've attached a Canon T3i and THEN extended the pole with good safe results. That reduces the risk of bending. Reverse lowering section by section is safer too, though time-consuming until you practice a little. If you have a camera with a remote, you're golden. Otherwise, start with pole halfway extended, use self-timer on the camera, then raise the other half section by section quickly. Practice is required! (Have you considered the three-sectioned Unger - lighter, 18-ft reach?)

The latter; You press the button once to open the shutter. Then it stays open until you press the button once more.

Check out this site for a mechanical shutter release. http://kleptography.com/rf/#camera_lx3. I have only seen it, not bought anything, but it looks carefully done. An RF-activated solenoid hooked to the above ought to do the trick. I'd leave that part to the students.

It pulls out and twists to lock. There are 3 extensions and you can adjust each one to the length you want. It's fairly sturdy and I haven't had the camera rotate under it's own weight, even out of a moving car.

You need to have a timer feature on your camera. Also with this style, you can not take vertical photos due to the weight of cameras and the design of the connector on the pole.

You can use either shutter button! Regular shutter button when held horizontally or grip shutter button when held vertically. Both work independently of each other.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.

It is a remote shutter release, but not only for long exposures (for any expposure). If your camera is part of a system that allows your pop-up flash or a flash unit on your camera's hot shoe to trigger other flash units as well, this remote release is also useful for that type of work.

there are two small allen screws on the top of the frame on each side of the camera. loosen them slightly and adjust the angle- then retighten
