First shutter release

Found a picture of an early Woody with my first shutter release so cropped it out just to complete my collection of release mechanisms. Lost the link to the original design (found on the web).

 

Had problems with this one because the head kept sliding about on the shiny plastic (should have used some Blu-tak!). It also kept binding up, but I suspect that was because of my poor programming.

 

As with the later 'linear actuator' - I was always worried that excessive force would push the top of the shutter button off the camera - especially when it kept going wrong!
