Remote switch

Aaron Wilson

I have been trying to find a good remote swith for my 20D.. I found a real nice one for $150 that has timers lights up lcd display... and so on.. but it's 2.6 feet long from the camera and a good chunk of change... I found a thing on how to make one your self... Does any one recumend a timer remote switch and were to get or make one your self?:dunno

Is this the canon one?? If you don't need the timers etc.. I use this one which is much cheaper. Luben was making good use of the extra features (in bulb) on his the other night though! Got me thinking about upgrading .
I'm pretty sure they do extension cables too if 2.6ft isn't long enough.

I'm not sure about making one your self. Personally I wouldn't (couldn't ) I'd never have the confidence in it that I would in a canon item. If I lost a shot because of it I'd be :splat.
The extra cost, in my mind, is worth it!

what I was looking at...
This timer look really nice.. I found it here for a cheaper price. But the DIY version is found here.
