Vectracide 0 #1 September 14, 2006 I shoot ariel photography for a guy that shoots stock photo stuff and he uses a Nikon 2DX. We have had no luck wiring up a mouth switch to the Nikon plug. It either fires constantly by itself, or doesn't work at all. We had a guy that said he knew how to do it, so he sent it to him. This guy wired it up and tested it on a Nikon 2D and it worked great. Unfortunately, the same wiring doesn't work with the. A big thanks to the guy that helped us out and did that work for free...you rock. Now when we pulled apart the wired hand remote, there were 2 small mini-switches that utilized only 3 wires, one being shared between the 2 switches. This tells me that any of the conceptus switches will not work as they are a single pole system, and that I need a double pole system. Know of one that will do this? Anyone shoot this camera with a mouth switch? ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #9 September 15, 2006 I know Norman Kent uses or did use a D1 and I want to say he has D2s now. Mike McGowan also used to use the D series but I know he pretty much always uses hand switches. With that said, both probably have some good insight on what needs to be done to make the D2 fire with a mouth switch as all of their switches are custom made."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
