Remote switches for 20D

Recommended Posts

All,

I was wondering what you did to wire up your Canon 10D or 20D cameras for the tongue-switch.
I just noticed these on eBay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50489&item=7509502326&rd=1 and they are non-Canon remote switches for 15 bucks.. that's a big difference in having to cut a 60 dollar remote to pieces or a 15 dollar one..

Any experiences with these from anyone?

(um.. yeah I broke down and got myself a 20D :P as an upgrade to the Digital Rebel)

Dude.... I love them. I have one in my helmet now. Its my second one since I accidently broke the first one trying to do some mods to it. J-rock and I think Wingnut are using them too.

Beautiful thing is it has a 2.5mm stero plug in the controler that switches work through. No need to soder or cut a wire again. B|

Thanks Eric!!

That's the answer I wanted to hear..
Mine will be soldered anyways, since I made a special connection on my helmet for the remote, I'll show you in a couple of weeks :P

Basically I have my tongue switch wired up to a RCA jack, and the remote part that goes to the camera has an RCA plug at the other end. That way I can easily change between remotes (since my film body still needs the 2.5mm plug) and my helmet doesn't have all sorts of wiring taped to it and looks all nice and clean...
