I would like a cable release that is mechanical or electrical where you can set it to (for example) 8 seconds and push a button and it'll trip the shutter and hold it down for 8 seconds ... so that way you don't have to manual do the time in bulb mode....

Does anybody know if something like this exists... I took a look at some autoknips and those look like they are just self timers..
 
That may be a hard find..
Typically, the plunger is activated and pushes down, but, I think it stays in the down possession.

You need on that also raises up off the shutter button.

Seems like a similar system to the standard mechanics may work, It just works opposite. it puts the plunger down at the beginning of the cycle and raises it at the end. A kind of clockwork gearing I'd guess.

Maybe some one can modify a standard one to do this ?

Interesting Idea I guess.
 
Hundreds of people must have thought of such a device, and maybe some were indeed made: but I have not heard of any that was made commercially. The probable reason is that a watch with a second hand and a locking cable release together form an adequate substitute.
 
As Dainaka says, Prontor. I have one. If anyone can tell me how to strip it and clean it to make it more accurate, I'd be grateful.

Cheers,

R.
