LANC port cover on TRV-18

Recommended Posts

For those who are plugging a CamEye to a TRV with the cover over the LANC port. Did you just snap the cover off and use tape to protect the ports? or did you drill a hole in the door?

I am looking for a "clean" way to connect the CamEye.

Thanks,
S.

Drilled a hole through the cover. Maked sure you keep hold of the cover whilst drilling or the drill will twist and snap the hinges of the cover.;) And how do I know.............. guess and you could be right:$

I very carefully drilled, with a very high speed drill and VERY little preasure applied to the door. It worked.

I would have much prefered to use a Dremel, but didn't have one handy.

Thanks all for the input. I guess I can add one since I did this a few hours ago.

I don't have a dremel handy, and keeping a good hold on the door while using a power drill didn't seem like the easiest setup. So I started cutting part of the door with an exacto knife, and thought what if I heated it up. I ended up using a soldering iron. Worked well.
