Hasselblad cable help

[billparrott]

can anyone identify this cable. It was with an Hasselblad ELM I had a number of years ago and was wondering what it is??

thanks in advance

 

[billparrott]

btw .. it has a single pole male connector on the other end ..

I would say it looks like an SK150 cable release, but since you say it has a connector on the other side too, seems like some kind of extension cord. Can you take a picture of the other side as well?

 

[billparrott]

here is the picture of the other end. It is approximately 39" in length and the cable is ~ 1/8" in diameter..
It actually looks like some type of flash connector?? The five pin connector would appear to connector on the side of the EL/ELM body
but I have NO idea where the other end would go. But it looks like it might be some type of flash connector.
Thanks for you help.

I think this is a cable for the Pocket Wizard:

Given as 3ft long which looks right from your shots.
Should sell on the usual sites

HBM3 Motor Cord - Hasselblad EL, ELM & ELX to Miniphone - 3'

You could use it as a remote release by shorting the tip. Or fancifify it by making and adapter. using a female plug and a simple n/o press switch.

+1 for Slxtiesix I have a catalog from 1997 and there is a 3 m cable #46086 Release cord SK 150 for the side socket on page 32 that matches your picture.

Sorry Jeffrrey you are confused.
In that catalogue, page 32, you refer to the SK 150 that terminates in the button release not a minphone connector that the OP has
and it is 1.5m not 3m as you quote.
The picture/table is confusing but in the bottom picture the release button top left goes via 46086 and 1.5 m (yellow lines) and goes to the multiconnector.
The minphone connectors in that picture are intended for the front socket and also terminate in the release button.

Hasselblad do not list a multiconnector terminating in a miniphone/minijack it is a third party part for a Pocket Wizard to release the shutter.

yes .. there are no usual Hasselblad markings or logos anywhere and it is lacking the usual V logo

Chris i believe you have found it .. I just didn't know that the Pocket wizard system went that far back .. but the link you provided is very similar if not exactly the same as the cable I have .. thanks to all .. I have had this cord for ages and never known what it was for .. probably because I never used the pocket wizard systems ..

No problem Bill, as I said they are not cheap and could be re-sold.
The Pocket Wizard was preceded by the Flash Wizard which came in the late 80's !!
The Pocket came in the late 90's.
