Just picked up the Fuji XT-20 and being a fan of long exposures, I'm looking for a cable release. Seems I have 3 options - 1.) Screw-in Cable for the shutter button (Have one - so all good). 2.) 2.5mm jack into the mic port and 3.) mini USB jack.
I realize I have a 4th option with the app, but that's just sucking battery from both camera and phone and is limited to only 30 seconds. I'd like several minutes for use with ND filters.
Is there any advantage to using the 2.5mm vs. the USB jack? I see a variety of each one on the auction site. What does the USB version control that the 2.5mm jack doesn't?
I had tried the cable from the GH4 which is a 2.5mm, but that didn't work at all. Seems the GH4 version is a 4 pole, while Fuji is 3 pole.
I also have several wireless remotes on hand where I can replace the cable to suit the camera, but am unable to find a 2.5mm to USB cable anywhere. If anyone has any links, I'd be grateful. This would give me a wireless option so I can trigger from a distance for wildlife use.
Thanks in advance, Q.
