birdynamnam 28 #1 September 28, 2004 Anyone having experiences using it in combination w. the Nikon Coolpix 5000? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3mcam 0 #2 September 28, 2004 I've been soo happy! I have a stereo miniplug connection and use a blow switch (home made). Great camera at least to start off with! I've even had pictures taken with it published. Tomppa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdynamnam 28 #3 September 28, 2004 Well I do have some problems... I have the remote switch Canon E3 (w. wire), its a stereo plug and it just works perfectly... I hate the wire so naturally: I the got the bite Conceptus switch it has a mono plug. This thing works initially, but the camera stops taking pics during freefall. I can reproduce this on ground ;-) Finally I got the Conceptus tongue switch w. a stereo plug. It goes beserk when I plug it in and continues to take pics w/o me triggering it. Tried auto, manual w. continusly setting and so but havent succeeded getting the switches to work decently yet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3mcam 0 #4 September 28, 2004 Like I said, I use home made systems: microplug (stereo) connected to only to wires From there on to a normal blow microswitch and a tube. Simple and works great. I anyway don't want autofocus in the sky so why bother fighting with the third stereo wire for the pre focus stuff? Tomppa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffejdraga 0 #5 September 28, 2004 I have one, and i cannot get the thing to fire with it. I bought the camera used from a friend of mine, who has taken 100s of pics with that combo, and many of them ended up published. samples of his work with that camera can be seen here: http://www.philroberson.com/skydivephotos2003.html I dont know why it doesnt work for me, and I coudnt be bothered to figure it out, so I bought a D70....I should probably sell the coolpix 5000 and the digisnap, any takers.... jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdynamnam 28 #6 September 28, 2004 Well the combo works somewhat and the Nikon cam itself takes superb pics Here is one nice pic though - it is not centered but thats kind of cool here : http://frihavnen.st/fdk-photo-gallery/2003/zellamzee/frits/orig/DSCN0087.JPG Hmm, I guess I'll just have to continue with the Canon remote wire for now...
