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!
If you don’t wan’t to solder the tiny 3/32″ audio plug you could buy a stereo 3/32″ to 3/32″ cable and a 3/32″ stereo socket.
