    Packard Shutter question

    I've seen some videos of the function of these shutters and a question has come up as I think about them.

    Do these shutters require gravity to work properly?

    Would they work when pointed vertically or do they only function when perpendicular to the ground?

    They work well both vertically and horizontally. They just wouldn't work OK if put completely upside down.

    The smaller ones work best

    3" is good

    I prefer a single pumper with pin

    If I want sync I DIY with Micro Mini switch

    You need a good OE bulb to really get it right as the bulb can suck it closed and delay better

    Thank you for the useful info. I've got a question to the Packard Shutter people about sizes and I was wondering if the device would work if it was rotated for clearance as well as the vertical horizontal question.
