vdschoor 0 #1 April 25, 2005 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 as an upgrade to the Digital Rebel) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #2 April 25, 2005 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.

vdschoor 0 #3 April 25, 2005 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 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...

hipgnosis 0 #4 April 25, 2005 I bought one on ebay that was shipped from China for about that cost. Unit worked fine and spliced to my blow switch easily. One caveat is that you need to do a good job with the soldering - the wires inside the cable are very fine. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
