Tink1717 2 #1 February 18, 2011 Anyone out there jumping a 7D, how do you trip the shutter? OR how do you rig a Conceptus switch? I want to go to a 7D but I just got back from the camera store and found I have no way to trip the shutter. I'm still two months from getting it but I'd like to resolve that issue before I go to the 7D. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, I've sent a separate email to conceptus asking for help, so don't suggest I do that, it's done.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

dragon2 2 #2 February 18, 2011 You can either splice a Canon remote yourself or buy switches ready made for a Canon pro-camera (paragear, Laszlo). Lazlo can also make you a "converter remote" you can plug in the 7D on one end and your old switch on the other end. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #5 February 19, 2011 Check out the blow switch setup from Mike down there too, I have found it to be as good or better then the mess of tongue switches I've bought over the last few years.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shogo 0 #6 February 19, 2011 Kevin, If you already have the switch with stereo plug (for Rebel) then just get this one. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/615567-REG/Dot_Line_RS_RTC_C3_RTS_Adapter_for_RS_RT06.html If you can wait till safety day, I will show it to you. It works great. Shogo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
