Sky-Watcher N1 Shutter Release Cable Nikon D2X D2H D3 D4 D200 D800

The Sky-Watcher N1 Shutter Release Cable is a dedicated electronic accessory designed to bridge the connection between professional Nikon DSLR cameras and the Sky-Watcher AllView mount. By providing seamless electronic shutter release functionality, this cable allows the mount to control the camera's timing, making it an essential tool for high-precision astrophotography and automated imaging. Its reliable performance and effective operation ensure that your camera captures clear, vibration-free exposures of the night sky without the need for manual intervention.

Engineered for ease of use, this cable is specifically compatible with high-end Nikon bodies featuring the 10-pin remote terminal, including the D2, D3, and D4 series, as well as the D200, D300, D700, and D800. By linking these powerful cameras to the AllView mount, you can take full advantage of computerized panoramic and time-lapse features. This simple yet robust connection transforms your existing photography gear into a fully integrated astronomical imaging system, allowing for a more convenient and productive night under the stars.

Product Features in Detail

Automated Shutter Control

By allowing the mount to talk to your Nikon, you can automate your entire imaging sequence. You can program the mount to take a specific number of exposures at a specific length, which is vital for deep-space "stacking" photography.

Professional 10-Pin Connection

The N1 cable uses Nikon's robust 10-pin circular connector. This is a locking professional standard that ensures the cable stays securely attached while the telescope or mount slews across the sky.

Perfect for Panoramic Photography

When used with the AllView mount, this cable allows the system to capture multi-row panoramas. The mount automatically moves to a position, pauses to let the vibration settle, triggers the shutter, and then moves to the next frame.

Eliminate "Shutter Shake"

Even a light touch on the camera body can ruin a long-exposure shot. This electronic release bypasses the physical button, ensuring that the camera remains perfectly still while the shutter is open.

Sync with Tracking Systems

This cable allows for perfect synchronization between the mount's tracking and the camera's exposure. This is essential for long-exposure shots where even a tiny timing error can result in star trailing.

Robust Field Performance

The SWASRN1 is built to be a permanent part of your mobile kit. Its durable jacket remains flexible in freezing weather, and the precision-molded pins provide consistent contact for reliable operation during all-night sessions.
