Olympus RM-CB2 Release Cable - what is connector please?

[Mel_P]

Hello - I have a pixel wireless timer remote control for my Canon 5D. TW282TX (example here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254878027991)

This has a canon plug - 2.5mm 2 pole jack (fits in pixel end). The cheapest way to get a cable release for my OM-D E-M5 Mkiii would seem to be getting another lead to go from the pixel device to my M5.

Can somebody advise what plug is on the end of the Olympus RM-CD2 cable release please

e.g.
2.5mm ??
2 pole ?

Hama made a system of remote controls called DCCS. The unit linked looks very similar to the Hama unit. Hama made cables for Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic which attached to the unit according to the camera being used. As I have different makes of camera, this was most useful.

It looks as though Olympus must have changed the remote port on later OMDs, mine have a proprietary plug fitting and not a jack fitting. The Hama Panasonic cable does have 90 degree jack plug which has the Hama Code PA1 no. 005211, still available from UK suppliers. I do have this cable but can't test it on my older OMDs.

This is an EU page but has a good illustration.
