CHRCNF 0 #1 January 4, 2011 Is there any way to rig up a bite switch that would work with the Nikon D5000 DSLR?? The typical 2.5mm plug is not on this camera... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 January 4, 2011 The "typical" 3.5mm plug is only for entry-level Canon cameras. Everything else, ie an intro Nikon like yours, a pro-sumer Canon, a pro-sumer Nikon all have their own distinct plugs. You have 4 options here: 1) Buy switch of choice (with or without any kind of plug on it) and the needed remote (in your case, the MC-DC2) and splice those together. 2) If you can find one with the MC-DC2 plug, buy a ready-made switch (try Laszlo for this). 3) Buy switch of choice with a 3.5mm plug, afemale 3.5mm plug, and the needed remote (in your case, the MC-DC2) and splice the MC-DC2 with the female 3.5mm plug, this way you can buy any switch you like off the shelf and plug it in. 4) see 3 but buy it ready-made for your camera if you can find it (again, might try Laszlo for this). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
