bigway 4 #1 September 7, 2006 Does anyone know where i can get an adapter of some sort to fit from my tounge switch to my canon 20d. The 20d has a bigger square sort of plug. I am in Chicago, is there any old store or something specific. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 September 7, 2006 Ebay. There is a ermote swtich on there that has a stereo plug on it that you can just plug a switch into and it works. Otherwise Paragear sells one that will work.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #5 September 8, 2006 Buy a couple of them, I'm on my 4th in 2 years. 1 was Dead out of the package and could be fixed if I payed $25 in shipping to China for a $7 item.

karoline 0 #6 September 8, 2006 I have a 20D and I use a blow switch, just buy a regular RS-80N3 remote for your camera BHphotovideocom is a web site were you can find it, than cut it, get the lenght you need than try the wires on the blow switch until they activated your camera, i think the red w/black together on copper end of blow switch and the white on silver. I chose the blow switch because it does not brake as easy as the other switch. Have a good time taking pictures.do wathever you have to do, but don't be a fool!

PhreeZone 20 #7 September 8, 2006 B&H has that remote for over $80. I got my 4 switches off eBay for less then at for all of them and if you want to cut the wires to make it shorter you can, but why do it since it has a stereo plug in it already?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karoline 0 #8 September 8, 2006 What are you talking about? the swicth is 39.95 and why would you need 4 of them? I'm a full time videographer and I only use one switch.do wathever you have to do, but don't be a fool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #9 September 8, 2006 The Price is $ 49.95 with part number CARS80N3. I last looked at onf from there over a year ago and they were wanting closer to 90 for it then and my local camera shop sells them for $75. I've fried 2 plugs on my 10D in the last year and keep a spare in my gear bag at all times in case another one goes. I fried one when my FTP popped off my head on opening and I caught the helmet with the combo of the tongue/remote switch, another was bad out of the box. Most I've paid for the Adiut Switch is I think 14.95 and I never had to do a single bit of sodering, cutting cables or anything. Juist plug in the tongue switch, and start shooting.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefallcrab 0 #10 September 9, 2006 I am at the DZ, it is 8 in the morning and the bar is full of tandems signing in with their families and friends generally getting in the way. I can just feel them all looking over my shoulder while I cruise Dropzone.com. I have just bought a blow switch (having bitten through my last bite switch) and this thread caught my eye. What is an Adiut switch, I wonder - lets Google it. I could almost hear the alarm bells ringing and see the club house lights flashing as google came up with DO YOU MEAN ADULT SWITCH. Hmmmmm. Seriously though can someone post a link to the company's website please. Use your wings Johnny.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #11 September 9, 2006 Opps. Thats a misspelling on my part. http://www.adidt.com/en/ Good luck on reading the site, english is not their first language. Ebay seach for Canon 20D switch and you'll get a long list of them for sale. Most are selling sub-10 dollars and the shipping from China puts the total at ~$15.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #12 September 9, 2006 Quote Most are selling sub-10 dollars and the shipping from China puts the total at ~$15. Watch out for the really cheap ones, i found several that were cheap but had high shipping costs. Like Phree, i bought a couple to have a spare if needed.
