I saw those...I wonder if they work well...
If you don't need the faster shutter speeds, you should switch to the press shutters as they automatically re-cock.

I'm going to order one off b&h to try.My concern is if the extended tip is long enough to trigger off the press shutter.
I got this info from Bob Salomon who posted in photo.net in 2004
"Bob Salomon [Hero] , Sep 15, 2001; 04:56 a.m.
Gepe Pro is a vert shory PVC cable release extension with a very small tip so it can make very tight bends"

Gepe-Pro is on our website under "Latest News"
www.hpmarketingcorp.com.
There is nothing to show as a picture. It is simply 3.25" long flexible PVC cable release material ith a small tip for the shutter and a threaded socket to accept the cable release.
This was mde to allow the 35mm Apo Grandagon to be fired when mounted into the double recessed lensboard for the Technikardan. It is the only device able to do this.
As we inport Linhof as well as Wista and L and U cable release devices we know that this item is the ONLY type that will properly do what you want."
From research it seems the cable extensions for recessed board include
the L shaped version

the U hook version
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/2337...ok_Adapter.htmlBoth don't look like they'll work with a press shutter considering the angle of the threading for press shutter VS the standard copal shutter threading
I managed to scrounge a copal press on ebay from an old camera system. much cheaper than buying new.
got 2 prontor press on ebay also but there was some attachment on the back that prevents me from mounting it to a lensboard unless I machine off that extra attachment.
Do you have experience with other press shutters?
