I had to trim the edges of the plastic casing around the connector at the other end of the plug to get it to fit inside the N3 socket on the camera.
Make sure you don't trim too much off so that the 2 metal connectors inside the plug touch each other.
The shutter cocking lever (#3) must be pushed all the way down until it locks in place, for the shutter release button (#2) to fire it. No batteries are required since the function is all mechanical, and the batteries are only used by the light meter to adjust the shutter speed for the proper exposure.
This was shot with my 'nifty 50'.
I knocked my camera off a table yesterday with my 50mm lens on it, just managing to break its fall about a foot from the ground with my finger tips. It hit pretty thick carpet but the lens still broke, the barrel bit that moves when you focus popping out of the rest of it. I spent a frantic and nervous 40mins working out how it fitted back together and getting it working again!
Would have been the cheapest piece of hardware I have to break, but it would still have been super annoying. Especially now after just starting my 365.
Not quite sure how I'm going to manage the weekend, I've got a stag's doo and I'll be away for 2 nights.
It feels much easier and safer to take shots like these where I'm only have in the picture, and not the focus of attention, than traditional self portraits of me. I don't feel up to tackling myself, I think my shot like that so far is the worst I've taken in my 365. It will have to happen at some point thou...
I held the flower just of the top of the screen over the viewfinder and placed a flash off to the left to illuminate it using a snoot to block the flash from the Sirene. The flower is only in focus a certain distance from the viewfinder so it was a little like a juggling act to hold it and release the shutter.
50mm 1.4 at f/2.0, iso 100, 1/20 sec. off camera left flash with snoot directed to flower and window light; no reflector. Triopod used. I touched up the contrast and sharpened in photoshop. Vignetting in LR.

how it looks out one of my bedroom windows at night. an attempt at long exposure with the shutter release cable.
sx-70 sonar + 779 (expired january 2008) + shutter release cable.
Using a spoon, I'd tilt the models to the angle I wanted. With the camera on a tripod, I stood behind the models with a 2 yard sheet of black velvet armed with my electronic shutter release.
These models were on loan from an Anchorage attorney. Turns out he likes collecting models, too!

Here's a picture of the accessories I use with my D700 when shooting landscapes. GP-1 GPS receiver, so I don't have to remember where I was, and of course, a remote shutter release.
The connector shown above of the GP-1 developed bad conection, so I had to find a replacement. The vendor when contacted said they don't offer replacement part, so I had to put something together, which I did. But see how many extra stuff I had to use!!
