That is not the same thing. Look at the nipple length. This one is several times as long as the Gepe one. Therefore it would not fit the same recessed boards as the Gepe one.

And why do you need ten 3.25" Wide ANGLE CABLE RELEASE Extensions? Can't you just buy some longer cable releases?

You see, I have long cable releases. What works for me, especially for packing into backapack, is to have those extentions permamently attached, so I can conveniently use one long cable release.

This is what I use on a Cambo recessed board (Copal 0 shutter). It works quite well. I leave it attached permanently and it sticks out far enough to conveniently attach a cable release when I'm ready to shoot. When I pack up the lens I push the extension into the recessed board. This is a better price than I paid on ebay.

Peter, phone Badger, they are very helpful and have good knowledge of the products they sell.

And some cables with short nipples (seemingly flexible) have solid inserts under the cover to protect the "rod" at the tip. Those didn't fit in the Linhof recessed board as it has so little space around the shutter.

I think it's OK with larger and/or flat boards.
