Freefly69 0 #1 March 11, 2004 Can anyone tell me what I need to get from radio shack to make a tongue switch for my stills camera? Expect Nothing. Be Ready For Anything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SniperCJ 0 #2 March 12, 2004 I thought about doing that and actually went to Radio Shack and bought a couple of things, then I realized that nothing I could make would rival what I could buy from Conceptus for $30 - $40. Good luck with the project. JC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would disagree with that, but that is me with a $2.40 tongue switch. I buy a "sub-mini lever switch". that is how they know the name of it at Radio Shack. I solder it all up, then put some hot glue around the wires, form the hot glue to my teeth and I am all set. the nice thing about the submini switch, is that it has a real positive "click" when you push it with your tongue. This way you know you are taking a picture. maybe sometime i will take a pic of my switch and setup so you can see, if need be. jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volkerschuh 0 #4 March 12, 2004 Look at this post! And look at the pictures. It's very cheap, but I don't know where to get from in other Countries. Good luck, Volk Air Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freefly69 0 #5 March 12, 2004 Ok, When you say solder it all up, is that the wires to the switch? And how does the switch connect into the camera? Do you solder the wires to a jack? Sorry for the pain in the ass, but if you could post a picture of it, I'd appreciate it! Expect Nothing. Be Ready For Anything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freefly69 0 #6 March 12, 2004 Yeah! Pretty much what I saw in the field. But where can I buy one. I think you can get a radio shack, but not sure what the name of it is..... Thanks! Expect Nothing. Be Ready For Anything! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koz2000 1 #7 March 13, 2004 I would try to find a wired remote and splice into that rather than making your own adapter. my .02______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J. Hayes - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volkerschuh 0 #8 March 14, 2004 It looks like that when you've done. Just like ffejdraga said, take hot glue, put it on, wait one and half a minute, then bite on it an form it with your teeth. Put the cable on and on the other side your connector. It's so simple. Volk Air Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
