DIY Release Cable for Canon dSLR

October 24th, 2007 Categories: DIY & Project

Last 2 days, I was surfing for DIY Project for Photography. I found there’re an article about “DIY Release Cable for Canon dSLR

Yesterday(now already midnight) after CTS, I went to Jalan Pasar to get those components I needed for this project.

1. A Small 2.5mm Stereo Jack plug (RM0.80)
2. Two button switches with open position (RM0.50 each)
3. A on/off switch (RM1.00)
4. A nice PVC box to place switches in (RM1.80)
4. Cable, I using old Telephony cable with having 4 wires and easy to bend it.
