Blow switch construction.

[otterboy 0]

I just ordered a blow switch for a rebel xt. Reading the info on the blow switch it does not come with the plug lead. Where would one find the plug lead to solder to the blow switch? Is a 2.5 plug something you would find at radio shack or need to order?


Thanks
Mark

Awesome, I had to spend some time shaving my 'regular' old blow switch down to fit comfortably 'inside' my helmet.

It is good to see a product that is specific to skydiving used, rather than a swimming pool switch!

Are these things available now?

Just received mine and first impressions are good.

Is much smaller than it looks, which is good as my helmet is tight fitting. Worked straight out of the box and as promised. The auto focus works and the single/continuous shooting are easy.

The only small thing is that the wire to the camera plug is very thin and exposed at the joint. I have taped it up to make it more sturdy.

Will report back after jumping it a bit.

Hi skydog,

Thanks for your first impressions.

It's realy small and light. He are making some improves on the "wire to the camera plug". They work fine but as you say is to "thin".

In January a photo album and youtube channel of the product and how it works is online, and some tips for skydive users.

Best regards,

Hello,

Yes you need a shave machine or a chainsaw.

See this photo to view how small it is.

After read the Skydog post/comment:

"The only small thing is that the wire to the camera plug is very thin and exposed at the joint. I have taped it up to make it more sturdy."

We made some improvements on the Ultimate Switch™ plug wire.

See the attachment photo.

Can I get an ultimate switch with a Nikon 2020 35mm plug and a Canon G-10 plug? I have my helmet set up to easily slide in either camera. It would be nice to set it up for a blow switch.

In other words... can I use one Ultimate Blow switch to opperate various cameras? (Not at the same time of course)

Hello Skyjumpenfoll (Mike)

I can't reply were about this new product.

I received this email from DSE a forum user, and is right.

"Are all about selling a product, and not contributing to the forums in any way. I'm sure it's a great product, but the rules of the forum/community are very strict. Consider this your one warning before your account is banned from the Photography forum"

Sorry all, but I don't read carefully the rules.

That looks a lot better :) any chance of one????

Have taken lots of snaps and the switch has behaved wonderfully!! Would definately reccomend it as an alternative to the Tongue switch I had.
