Can the Ricoh USB cable, supplied with the Ricoh Theta S, be extended with a standard USB extension cable to reach the Ricoh CA-3 remote shutter switch? I would like to hold the Theta S high overhead for some photos.
Asked by: Anonymous
It appears that the large Type-A USB male plug could be extended with a female-to-male Type-A USB extender allowing you to plug it into this remote and extend the cable provided.
