videointhesky 0 #2 December 21, 2003 For my 35mm still cameras I use the Minolta 7XI Body's. Which uses the RC-1000L Remote Cord, this one is 3 meters long , the RC-1000 Remote Cord is a meter long if i remember right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alain 0 #3 December 25, 2003 Do you know if there is any way to cut the RC1000 cable in order to use a bite switch or blow switch ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
videointhesky 0 #4 December 26, 2003 The RC1000 cable has 3 wires red, white, bare copper. I used a 1/4” stereo male & female plug to make my connection between the camera and the Remote Switch. I went Red to the Copper color on the plug, White to the Sliver color on the plug and the bare copper wire to the center ground of the plug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alain 0 #7 December 30, 2003 errr yeah, i got that i was just wondering if you were using the buttons at the end of the RC1000 cable or some sort of skydiving friendly switch (blow, bite, tongue, whatsoever...) thanks for input, i appreciate Alain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
videointhesky 0 #8 December 30, 2003 Yes I use the button on the remote switch that is the RC1000 cable. I also put a stop on the release button will not slide down as if you where going to take a long exposure photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
