Hasselblad Release Cord X

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad Release Cord to eliminate mechanical vibration during critical high-resolution captures. First, this essential tool allows you to trigger the shutter without physically touching the camera body. Furthermore, it prevents the micro-shakes that can soften images when shooting with a 100-megapixel sensor. As a result, landscape, architectural, and studio photographers can achieve the absolute maximum sharpness that the X System and 907X are capable of delivering.

In addition, the cord features a simple, robust design for one-handed operation. Specifically, the single-button interface supports both standard exposures and long-exposure “Bulb” modes. Moreover, the 90cm (35.4 inches) cable provides enough length to stay clear of the tripod while maintaining full control over the timing of the shot. Ultimately, the durable textile-wrapped cable prevents tangling and survives the rigors of outdoor field use. Therefore, the Hasselblad Release Cord stands as a mandatory accessory for any professional workflow involving long shutter speeds or macro photography.

Key Features & Highlights

• Vibration-Free Shutter Activation: This cord physically isolates the user’s hand from the camera. Accordingly, you can capture long exposures of several minutes without introducing even the slightest hint of motion blur.

• Autofocus and Shutter Control: The ergonomic button supports a half-press to activate autofocus and a full-press to trip the shutter. Hence, it mimics the native feel of the camera’s own shutter release for a seamless tactile experience.

• Integrated Bulb Mode Support: For extreme long exposures, the cord allows you to lock the shutter open. Furthermore, this enables you to capture star trails or silky smooth water movement without holding the button manually for the entire duration.

• Premium Textile-Braided Cable: Hasselblad utilizes a high-quality wrap to protect the internal wiring. Consequently, the cable remains flexible in cold weather and resists the fraying common with standard plastic cords.

• Seamless X System Integration: The cord connects directly to the camera via the microphone/remote port. Meanwhile, the 907X and X2D 100C instantly recognize the accessory without requiring any complex menu setup.

• Compact and Lightweight Profile: The cord weighs very little and occupies minimal space in a gear bag. As a result, it serves as an “always-carry” item for travel photographers who frequently use tripods.

• 90cm Extended Reach: The nearly one-meter length gives you freedom of movement around your rig. Specifically, it allows you to stand comfortably away from the tripod legs to prevent accidental bumps during the exposure.

• Precision-Molded Connector: The 3.5mm jack provides a secure, “click-in” fit that won’t wiggle loose during a shoot. Therefore, the Hasselblad Release Cord ensures a reliable connection every time you press the button.
