Sky-Watcher N3 Shutter Release Cable Nikon D90 D3100 D3200 D7000

The Sky-Watcher N3 Shutter Release Cable is a specialized electronic accessory designed to create a seamless connection between your Nikon DSLR and a Sky-Watcher computerized mount. Specifically engineered for Nikon cameras like the D90, D3100, D3200, D5000, and D7000, this cable allows photographers to link their gear directly to the mount's control system. Constructed from durable plastic, this shutter release type cable acts as the essential bridge needed to integrate your camera into a professional-grade computerized setup.

By automating the shutter release functionality, the N3 cable is a vital tool for those interested in panoramic or time-lapse photography. It enables the Sky-Watcher AllView or other compatible computerized mounts to trigger the camera at precise intervals without manual intervention. This automation not only simplifies the imaging process but also ensures the stability and accuracy required for capturing high-quality celestial or terrestrial sequences with your Nikon DSLR.

Product Features in Detail

Seamless Panoramic Sequences

When paired with the AllView mount, this cable allows for perfect "stop-and-shoot" panoramas. The mount moves to a coordinate, triggers the shutter via the N3 cable, and moves to the next position automatically.

Professional Time-Lapse Results

By using the mount’s intervalometer, you can capture hundreds of frames for a star-trail or day-to-night time-lapse. The N3 cable ensures consistent timing and zero skipped frames.

Eliminate Hand-Shake Blur

Pressing the shutter button by hand can cause several seconds of vibration. This cable triggers the exposure electronically, ensuring your stars remain pinpoint sharp from the very first second of the exposure.

Reliable Accessory Terminal Fit

The N3 style connector is designed to fit snugly into the side accessory port of your Nikon camera, providing a secure connection that won't slip out as the telescope slews across the sky.

Sync with Computerized Tracking

The cable allows the mount to "know" when the camera is exposing. This synchronization is critical for high-magnification lunar or planetary imaging where timing is everything.

Compact Travel Essential

Small and easy to coil, this cable is a must-have for mobile astrophotographers. It fits easily in a camera bag, allowing you to turn any dark-sky location into a fully automated observatory.
