- Thread starter buggz

Just searching with google I found this one. We used to pay $70.00 each for these, but now the dealers don't carry them anymore.

Don't know if anyone has used this Kastar one. Looks like it is worth a try.

Or, maybe not...
"Mamiya Camera Control Cable allows remote firing of the camera from the computer keyboard,
when used in FireWire tethered configuration.
The cable is for use with Mamiya DM digital backs on Mamiya RZ and RZ Pro II cameras.
The cable runs from the accessory socket on the camera to the accessory socket on the digital back."
I guess not required, but would be nice to have?

Here it says you need a matching focusing screen to give you the proper framing guidelines and a matching sync cord to connect the digital back and camera body.

Your searches are better than the results I obtain.
Thanks!
I have been told, "the cable is in the box with the adpater plate."
This is going to rock.
I can now go back to using my light meter and slowing down in general.
This is good...

FYI - in case the cable breaks (the standard sync cable, not the motor drive control cable), it's a $20 replacement cable, if you can find them. We have them.
Keep in mind those batteries - they are available in even larger amp ratings, and because they are not enclosed, the only harm is the battery will hang down further... but on an RZ, maybe not such a big deal if your tripod head doesn't get in the way. Standard 2350mAh SBL-160 batteries last a couple hours. How about 4-5 hours?

Thank you for this information.
I am getting one standard "real" battery with the DM33 back.
I will look into these new battery options.

I am still messing about without an adapter plate, still awaiting, so, I am not used to the openness as from my other digital bodies.
Oh, thanks for the video link!
