It doesn't lock down, you just need a wired trigger. What kind of camera do you have?

I have a Canon XT and I have a wired trigger for it. If I set the exposure for 30 secs and push the trigger into the hold position it will just keep taking 30 sec exposures?

You also have to set the drive to continuous.
