To get started with the photoelectric barrier set Jokie² you need a camera adapter for your camera. The cable length of our camera adaptor sets amounts from 2.5 m to 5.2 m, depending on the type of camera you have. This length is enough for insect, bird or table top photography.
In case of work with larger tele lenses, we recommend extension cords.
For fixing the Jokie² light barrier we recommend tripods or clamps with 1/4" thread, or our Strap-Flex holder as universal mounting accessory.
