This Kiwi CR-X1 Custom Mechanical Cable Release Adapter makes it possible to use a wire dispanner In combination with the Leica X1 Compact Camera. The Kiwi CR-X1 is attached to the hotshoe of the camera and thus forms a solid mounting point for a wire release. The wire release is positioned perfectly above the shutter button by the Kiwi CR-X1 and does not interfere with the on/off button or other controls of the Leica X1. Also focusing by the half pressing of the shutter button is perfect to operate.
