Canon Hack: Shutter Release for Canon DSLR
Here’s a nice and simple guide on how you can make your own shutter release for your Canon DSLR cameras. Materials and tools that you’ll need:
(1) One - 3/32” Stereo Audio Plug (MUST BE STEREO, NOT MONO)
(2) One – Small Toggle Switch
(3) Two – Momentary Switches (SET TO OPEN)
(4) Wire – Small Gauge Insulated wire w/ at least 3 insulated wires within the main outer insulation. (I used 20’ basic telephone wire and only used 3 of the 4 wires in it.) (length depends on how long you would like your shutter release to reach.)
(5) Wire – Small gauge scrap wire, for wiring switches
(6) One – Project housing or Something to mount your switches on

Very nice to know that this can be done! Thanks!
The illustration calls the plug a jack — that’s simply weird. It’s a plug, folks. A jack is a socket that the plug fits into. Would be nice to correct this, because it looks so odd.
Where are you from with that accent?
I’m from Kent, man!
