Conceptus Tongue Switch

Recommended Posts

Ok, so having a little issue here, and wanna see if anyone else has had this happen before I call Conceptus.

I had a Conceptus tongue switch that I spliced into a Nikon MC-DC2 remote release. Works the camera perfectly. However, it is too long at the camera to fit correctly into my RRS L-bracket.

I buy 2 new 2.5mm tongue switches to go with a new right angle Nikon-to-2.5mm plug I bought.

However, the pressure on the tongue switch, both of them actually, is too much for me to actually push in with my tongue. I am still waiting for the connector to come in, so I can't test it yet.

Any way to fix this? Or do I just need to give them a call? The pressure between the one I spliced and the new ones is way too much.

Practice. It's the advice I was given by DSE a few years ago when I got my first tongue switch. If your tongue isn't accustomed to forming a sharp point and applying pressure, it's just going to take some practice. Also with use the parts will break in & loosen up a bit.

That's the weird part. The other one I have I can use perfectly, and could from day 1. These two are tight as hell, and I can only activate it with my teeth instead.

deja vu... my first one has teeth marks on it. I was pointing it down a little in my mouth & using my lower teeth to activate it for a while
