Product Overview

The Pentax CS-205 Cable Switch is a simple, hard‑wearing remote release built for Pentax shooters who want sharp results, not shaky frames. Plug it into the camera’s release socket and you can trip the shutter without touching the body – ideal when you’re on a tripod shooting long exposures, macro work, super‑telephoto lenses or anything where a bump to the camera will ruin the shot.

The 50 cm cable keeps the controller close and tidy around the tripod, and the large, positive‑feeling button gives you confident half‑press focus and full‑press release. A locking function lets you hold the shutter open for bulb exposures without keeping your finger down, making star trails, light painting and night landscapes much easier. Powered directly by the camera and purpose‑built for Pentax DSLRs, the CS‑205 is a compact, reliable bit of kit that earns its place in every Pentax bag.
