  1. Yes, I actually looked at your switches, they were highly recommended to me from a couple different jumpers. I was just stuck on getting a bite switch. I did also notice your adapter, and I would have ordered one if my attempted DIY failed. I'm just sharing this, so if anyone else is looking for a cheaper DIY option, they can save some time researching and go with one they know will work.
  2. Have a look at the thread I just posted to convert your bite switch to multi.
  3. Hey Guys, So I recently bought a Sony A6000 to use for stills. Then I started looking into bite switches and found out that there isn't a bite switch for the Sony. There are some tongue and blow switches that I found, but even they are way overpriced compared to the 2.5mm versions. If you wanted a bite switch, you would have to buy a 2.5mm and then a $80 Sony multi to 2.5mm conversion cable. So I made my own using a standard 2.5mm bite switch and a $2 cable off Ebay. (see attached image) Here is what I did. Open ebay, search for "2.5mm-S2 Remote Control Shutter" sort by price, buy cheapest cable Cut the 2.5mm jacks of both the bite switch and cable, and strip the wires so you have couple inches of the wires sticking out and 1/2 inch of exposed wire. This was the color scheme for me. Yours may differ. loose wire to green Red to Red And white to blue. (see attached image) Twist ends together, turn camera on, bite switch to test. Once you have tested and confirmed it worked, solder and heat shrink together. It is also nice, because you can make the cable the perfect length and don't need to have extra cable and an adapter inside your helmet lining. Hopefully this helps a few of you. Now I couldn't find any multi connections with a 90, but I ordered a second cable now, and I'm going to attempt to cut the rubber off of the connector and add my own 90 using heat wrap. That is what one of the switch makes is doing, so I figured I might as well give it a try as well.
