Remote control cable

Remote control cable

Modern cameras are endowed with many features. One of them is image stabilization. This option allows you to compensate for small angular shifts of the camera when shooting (for example, hand shake) and get non-blurred images. For amateur shooting this is enough. But in order to get a high-quality image, a tripod and a remote control system are of course necessary. Such systems come in two types of remote control, over the air, and a cable over the cable. As the photographer did do it yourself cable and will be discussed in this article.

Tools and materials:
-Phone headphones with microphone;
-Two buttons of different colors;
-Microswitch;
- Case from a film;
-The wire;
-Drill;
-Drill;
-Soldering iron;
-Insulating tape;






Step One: Headphones
Gently disassembles the headphones. Deletes a microphone and headphones. All that remains is the cord and plug. Four wires go to the plug. Empirically, the author found that when connecting the plug to the camera connector, the wires have the following order. Blue and copper without wire insulation is earth. The red wire is the focus, and the white shutter.


Step Two: Soldering
According to the scheme, the buttons and the switch are soldered. Isolates junctions.


Step Three: Case
For the case, the author used a plastic box for storing 35 mm film. At the bottom of the case made three holes.


Step Four: Build
I installed the buttons and the switch in the hole in the case. I fixed them with nuts.

The remote control cable for the camera is ready.

I'd add that different cameras have different connectors for additional equipment. If you decide to make yourself such a cable, you need to choose the components according to the connectors of your camera.

Yes I understand. But in different countries, some items may be called differently. Ivan, before writing an article, I try to understand the essence of homemade work. And I did not take the name from the ceiling. I opened several sites, looked at the name of the device. Yes, atavism. But I did not divide these devices into two groups of cable and remote control. You yourself once reproached me for the fact that I did not translate the pressure values ​​under our usual ones. If the admin considers the cable correctly, let it change, but I think the cable is correct. Because this is not the name of the wire, but the entire device.
would you like that name?
I brought the translation in order to inform that the real author called it cable.

I will answer everyone right away.
1. I know the difference between a cable and a cable.
2. Yes, the cable is written on the source, but I am writing for a Russian site and will look for a homemade product based on the Russian name of the device. And invent names, so there are 2 more buttons + switch + box from the film + plug, what should I name? One says the cable, the other is an electric cable, the third cable is in quotation marks. Let me not be wise and name it as everyone understands. That is the name of this device. Specifically, several specialized sites have been crafted, and the majority call it so.
3. Ivan, I know very well that almost anyone can edit a wiki, and when I search for information, I search from various sources.
4. If I wrote
"Shutter cable for the Pentax (and other) SLR camera from the hands-free mobile phone headset"
would you like that name?
5.
A list of words based on “Russian Truth”, which previously had a different meaning than now, is given.
Century - mutilation, payment for mutilation.
Guilt is the reason, the foundation, the penalty.
The hotel is a big trade road.
Guest - merchant, merchant.
Bum is an inheritance.
And in my car there was a radio tape recorder on CDs, and now there is a radio tape recorder with a USB and a hard disk ... I’m thinking ... Why is it a radio tape recorder? : kissing_closed_eyes: But everyone convinces me that it is she! : kissing:
... And there is also a "backstage" in the car, which is, for some reason, a set of cables and hinges ....)))))
... And there are “coils” on the candles ... They don’t have a centimeter of wire, but in the car market everyone calls them that.)))) ..... Well, at least not “bobbins” ....

He also got a transfer of the names "out of habit", without attaching importance to the changed meaning .... When will people already learn to speak correctly!

P.S. And I bought the tricycle for Felix Edmundych once ... When it was exactly the trossik ... But I didn’t use it - it wasn’t convenient, it was short ...
pogranec,
Wikipedia is not an ideal source of knowledge, there are a lot of unverified and inaccurate data, but the basis is correct, so just look, at least, there. Or in any serious photo book. Marketers mow down much more than Wikis.
Engaged in photography for a long time. It used to be quite difficult in many aspects. Now electronics allows you to simplify the process of photographing to ... point-click and you are a photographer :)
The cable in the photo is a mechanical trigger device.
If you want to somehow slangly express it (in a new, fashionable way), then you need to quote “Cable”, Imho.
Quote: pogranec
Ivan go to any online store selling similar products, the name of such a device is a cable.

You remove the posts, so at least correct the errors.
And in the store, too, such “specialists” work. For the reason that it was called that before, and it was mechanical. And now "electric." Then call the "electric cable" ?! I think for many the "cable" is a cable, but not this device. I’m for Ivan plus.

The title of the article "Pentax (and others) DSLR cable shutter release from hands-free cell phone kit" translates to: "Shutter cable for Pentax (and other) SLR camera from the hands-free headset of a mobile phone."
Sorry, but you do not know the terminology, unfortunately. ((
