HeadsIWin Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 4:39 pm I went on instructables website and found how to make a remote shutter cheap. This person made his for 3 bucks. It's so easy I think EVEN I can make one. I'm going to try this. I thought others may be interested in this. Edited by HeadsIWin 05/03/2011 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 8:10 pm am I missing something ? when I take coin pics, my camera is on a tripod, and I use the timer, so I am not touching the camera when the pic is taken - no vibration. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 9:27 pm Peter, depending on the setup..you can still have vibration from pressing the shutter even when using the timer...and when using a remote the chance of moving anything is decreased. Report this Post to the Staff
HeadsIWin Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 9:44 pm I have used my timer on my camera but this would be easier for me and I don't need to fiddle with my timer. I won't need to touch the camera at all once I have it set up. Report this Post to the Staff

It's no different from a remote shutter, whose only use is to remotely trigger the shutter at the exact moment you wish to. You use it for wildlife shots and the like. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 12:30 am I may try to find some parts to make one something like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Timer-Remote-Sh...em1c1877d283 I understand the timer does the same thing but if you set the timer you have to wait for the timer to go off, what if you are taking a picture of something like a family portrait and something funny happens while you are waiting for the timer to count down, this way you can snap a picture over and over at any time you want without everyone having to freeze until the camera shutter counts down. I think its a pretty neat idea Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 10:36 pm I just made one of these, it is very simple to make and I mean very simple. I got mine from Walmart made by body glove. All I did was crack open the bean shaped cover and cut off the wires going to the microphone and to the earbud (the one I got only had 1) and it worked like a charm Report this Post to the Staff
