He guys,
just got an IQ3 for my Arca.
I would like to explore the electronic shutter.
Is there a way to use an external remote release to trigger the shutter?
I don´t want to rely on the self-timer or use an iphone.
Any idea
Steve, don’t forgot about the required 8-pin to 12-pin adapter since the OP is using an IQ3 rather than an IQ4.You would need this:

I concur with the previous posts about using the Self Timer or Capture Pilot via iPhone/iPad, but I also understand some people don't want to depend on their iPhone or deal with that while shooting, or don't want to tap the screen (even with a self timer). Some simply like the tactile feel of a remote cable release, or have a timing situation where they feel the remote cable release would feel better to them with.
3 different ways to shoot ES, all have their uses.

Peter,Thanks for all the great answers.
I am an architectural / industrial photographer and quite often I need people at the perfect place and right moment in the foreground. A timer would not allow me the control I need.
Second, I do not use an Iphone!

I tried the Hahnel release. It does not work on the IQ3.
Thank you John for your suggestion! Thats exactly what I hoped to find.
Will order one today.
Best Peter
No I leave that for you and Graham. The two head honcho OCD's :ROTFL::watch:Peter,
Shouldn't that red colored tape be Phase One Blue?
Just sayin', being OCD and all...
:ROTFL:
Steve, don’t forgot about the required 8-pin to 12-pin adapter since the OP is using an IQ3 rather than an IQ4.
I use the Phase One Electronic Shutter Cable Release Adapter with the old coiled Phase One / Mamiya electromagnetic cable release. Love the old scool feel of the coiled cable
The red gaffers tape is used to hold make the adapter and cable stay together and the other is just my OCD marking all my cables and stuff.
