Cable trigger for Sony NEX

Recommended Posts

Has anyone successfully hard wired a cable trigger into one of the Sony NEX cameras? (similar to what used to be done for the little instant cameras).

They seem like a great option to replace a DSLR but there's no cable trigger available - only infrared.

Thanks!

I'm using a NEX 3N this season, and I'm very happy with it.

The shutter can be controlled using a micro usb connection, but apparently it is a non standard cable. I don't know the details but maybe Trunk or Martin can chime in.

I'm currently using an Exit Equipment plug, soldered to a Conceptus tongue switch, and have an exit equipment switch as my backup.

Exit Equipment sells their switch, and also an adapter now that will let you plug in a 2.5mm plug. They are both going fro around 80 USD.
