7D jumpers

[Tink1717 2]

Anyone out there jumping a 7D, how do you trip the shutter? OR how do you rig a Conceptus switch?

I want to go to a 7D but I just got back from the camera store and found I have no way to trip the shutter. I'm still two months from getting it but I'd like to resolve that issue before I go to the 7D.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also, I've sent a separate email to conceptus asking for help, so don't suggest I do that, it's done.

You can either splice a Canon remote yourself or buy switches ready made for a Canon pro-camera (paragear, Laszlo). Lazlo can also make you a "converter remote" you can plug in the 7D on one end and your old switch on the other end.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. Conceptus told me about it too.

Check out the blow switch setup from Mike down there too, I have found it to be as good or better then the mess of tongue switches I've bought over the last few years.

Kevin,
If you already have the switch with stereo plug (for Rebel) then just get this one.

If you can wait till safety day, I will show it to you. It works great.

I won't have a 7D until about May or so.
