Yesterday I made a made a remote control for my canon 350d rebel, wich is working great. Here are some fotos of the building process In anyone wants to make one. It is very simple to make and also very cheap. It cost me 1.97 € instead of the 20 plus € of a canon remote.

How about a wiring diagram? This is very cool. Love that you used a film canister to mount the switches for a digital camera.

Well that's great - for a tethered approach.

Personally, I prefer the RC-1. Not expensive at all -- and it's wireless!

An adaptation of my solution using an old film canister

Letter and pictures from John Thurmond (thurmond@MIT.EDU) 6/14/99:


Chantal,

Great page! Very nice of you to post the plans for the canon remote on the 'net. I was about to go buy a RS-60E3, figure it out and return it, but you saved me from having to do that!

I built a remote for my Canon IX Lite (it works for the IX cameras too, apparently), based on your schematic. Mine's a *tiny* bit cheaper, and a little more stylin', so I sent you a couple of pictures of it, in case you want to throw them on the page.

I used a film canister (an advantix film canister, actually) as the case, instead of the Radio Shack box. It feels better in your hand and saves you a couple of bucks. I also used a different switches, mainly for style and ergonomics. The big black toggle works really well and can be easily switched by your thumb while holding the other buttons.

All the parts were bought at radio shack. The big toggle on top is RS#275-648 ($1.99), and the momentary switches are RS#275-1556A ($1.99 for two). Watch out! 275-1556B switches look the same, but are normally closed (which wouldn't work too well!!). I just used a 6' headphone cable (RS#420-2387, $3.99) and cut an end off. Grand total is $11! And extra style points too!

Thanks for the great page!!
