Dia Photo Products Screw On Self Timer

This Dia Photo Products screw-on self-timer is a compact, spring-driven accessory designed for use with classic film cameras that feature a standard threaded shutter release socket. These mechanical self-timers were popular among photographers in the mid-20th century, allowing for delayed shutter release without the need for batteries or electronics.

This model is lightweight, reliable, and easy to use—simply screw it into the shutter release socket, wind the timer, press the lever, and it will trigger the shutter after a short delay (usually 5–10 seconds). It’s perfect for self-portraits, minimizing camera shake, or group shots when using cameras without built-in timers.
