so i ordered the CA-1 and it arrived today.......Hmmmm.......first impressions are not too good if i have to be honest, the entire lenth of the cable release is only 86cm!.......not nearly long enough if you ask me........I want to self portrait!
The trigger part is also quite big and weighty, it takes 1 AAA battery which is supplied. I have not used it yet but it has 2 stage trigger just like our GX100. according to the manual (piece of paper) you need to ensure that both the camera and the CA-1 are turned off befor conecting them together (there is an on/off switch)
It connects via the mini USB on the right hand side......it is a good tight fit but if you let the CA-1 hang from the camera it pulls down with the weight......34g not inc the battery.......which is'nt a lot really.
1 last thing befor I go off to test it......the cable used itself is quite thick and not very flexable........you could not wrap it around the trigger part and put it into your bag and expect it to stay wrapped up.....over all it is solidly made and feels good in my hand......Mark
