Canon EOS1000d

[albatross]

I`m looking for a timer remote control for a Canon EOS1000d. The classic one appears to be the TC 80N3 but this is not compatible with this camera.

Does anyone know of a similar item that may be suitable?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Does the type that you mention have its` own jack plug to fit the 1000d or is it one that has a different plug but needs an adaptor.

It`s a lot of money to get it `wrong` from my point of view.

Thanks

No it will fit straight into the camera...

Hi Kevin

Can't find an eBay ID with the above name. Can you possibly post a link or PM me?

EDIT: Have found them link-delight-uk (if anyone is interested here is a link to a timer release :http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aputure-Timer-Remote-C1-for-Canon-400D-450D-RS-60E3-R8A_W0QQitemZ250357829120QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_DigitalCamAccess_RL?hash=item250357829120&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318)

I'm going to invest in one of these I think.

Hi Doc,

Me too I think.

Link Delight also sell a battery grip that has a built in timer control which would mean no dangly leads and double the battery life. I will hopefully get one of these for my new Canon 50D

The really cheap option is to build your own!

You only need a switch between the connections of the jack plug to operate the focus and the shutter. There are lots of details on various websites including my own.

Well I have ordered one of the "Aputure Timer Remote C1 for Canon 400D 450D RS-60E3 R8A" as linked above for £32 alot cheaper than a canon one!

But will it arrive safely and will it work???

I will report back

Thanks Pete

Keep us posted.

This gadget is a bit further down my list than a "wing thing" for my 6SE and a Philips SPC900 webcam (more of that in another post in this thread) as I can lock the mirror up on my 400D and self-time to start the exposure.
