Got my Alpa Wake Up mechanism - the new type- today. It's an unattractive piece of kit that looks home made, especially the cable, and is insanely expensive (over $1000 complete cable+release in USA) BUT... it seems to work, and means I can use the back on normal latency, so we are a step closer to a walk-around Alpa camera with Phase backs, without carrying 6 batteries.
The button seems very long throw (press?), and you mustn't hesitate halfway through, or it gives some double-exposure error, but, other than that it works fine.
