Home Made Shutter release

[Chris Hansen]

Someone in my family stepped on the jack for my shutter release for my Rebel XT. I have been wanting to take bird pics with my 400 mm lens but I had no release. There are also no camera stores closer than an hour and a half to buy one. Some how or other I stumbled upon this site where you can make one from an old hands free mic for a cell phone. So I went down to Big Lots store and bought one for three dollars. i found one that had the switch separate from the mic and speaker. Because of this i didn't have to take anything apart. I just cut them off. I hooked it up to my camera and voila it works just fine.
