    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    Sorry, i wasn't very clear. the idea is to capture the person using the set-up, their facial expressions/reactions, when they're at the point of exerting all their force behind trying to trigger the switch. Hopefully catching the weird expressions people pull when they're straining or...

    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    ah, yeah i have been trying to search for some that i could possibly use with not much luck. i know that Nikon only make the IR remotes that are compatible with D40, but i was hoping there might be some kind of universal type remote with a standard jack-plug that would work? i don't have a lot...

    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    yeah, well the idea is that the person will need to use force to trigger the switch, perhaps by hitting it or something like that. i was planning on using sponge or something in the middle of the switch so that a person would have to use a bit of effort to get the plates to meet, and then they'd...

    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    i'll probably use my old Nikon d40. it's for an exhibition (my final show, i'm an art student), so if i can get this working it'll be set up like an installation type piece. oh really? how easy will it be to sort that out, will i be able to tell one wire from the other? and what do i do with...

    also, will connecting the wires to the remote switch involve soldering or something like that? and will it render the remote useless afterwards apart from when using it with the pad? and do you know whether it's possible to use a wireless remote? would it work in the same way, or is it not...

    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    yeah there will be 2 wires coming from the switch. and my camera takes a standard jack-plug. so if i connect the wires to the remote switch on the inside, this will remove the need to press the switch on the actual remote? making it no longer a switch and allowing the current will pass right...

    i'm attempting to make a pressure switch that will trigger DSLR, need remote advice

    i'm want to make a pressure switch/pad, that will trigger the shutter release on a dslr when pressure is applied. i've pretty much got the switch part down after doing some research, how to make it and everything. i need some advice on connecting the switch to the camera to allow it to...
