Material
What makes match Technical soft release special? You might think that soft releases are simple products – but that's not the case. Here's why you should insist only the best. Materials made from solid brass, because it does not bind in threads and does not break easily – unlike some metals – eliminating the possibility of soft releases jamming or snapping off in the shutter button.

Quality
Manufactured to very high tolerances using computer-controlled CNC machining – unlike some poorly made soft releases with inaccurate threads made by stamping or casting, which can damage your camera. Match Technical soft releases are individually boxed after painting, keeping them in pristine condition.

Comfort
Another reason for making the soft release from brass is so it can be painted with thick, high-quality gloss paint. This is a time-consuming process, but one that while still hard-wearing, provides a warmer, more comfortable surface than stainless steel or anodized aluminum soft releases, which are left unpainted.

Design
The profiles of the soft release have been carefully designed to release the shutter button gently and smoothly as well as for comfort. The height of a domed convex profile and its curvature or the curve of a concave shape are crucial for the soft release to work correctly and minimize camera shake.
