I was thinking about making my own shutter release for my cameras. I have the RS60-E3 shutter release that works great, but I want something that I can get further away from my camera with. For instance, I could set my camera on the tripod, next to the bird feeder, and trip the shutter from inside the house. The switch that I have, has a 3/32" plug on it that goes into the camera. So I'm thinking if I got a 20' extention cable, like this, only with 1/8" conectors on both ends (can't find one with 3/32" conectors) then get the adaptors to accept my 3/32" plug in the femail end, and get the 1/8" to 3/32" adaptor to go into the camera, it should work. Does that make sense to you? Has anyone here tried it?

I could get the connectors, and the adaptor I need, and supply my own wire, and put it together myself also.

I gathered up all the pieces together at the store, and they came to over $20. I could get the RC-5 remote from B&H for that much, but then I would have to be in front, or close to the front, of the camera to trip the shutter.

Just brainstorming while at work today...
