(1) The project was built into a dental floss box. It's partly open so you can see the I/O ports. - 1 voter (5.00) BAR
(2) The ultimate, extreme, remote shutter release. Will it blend? Yes, it will. This cellphone has a vibrate ring option. The vibrator is a tiny 1.5v motor. I added this 4N25 optoisolator (changed to use a surface mount NEC 2705 isolator) to act as a relay (blame Covington, http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/dslr/CanonRelease.html, I got it from his page). When the phone rings, the camera takes a picture. It's that simple. But is it practical? Say you see a nice scene on the other side of the Grand Canyon, and you want to be in it. You set up your camera and extreme cable release. Next, get in your Jeep (tm) and head to the other side. Once you get in position (after you set up camp of course), you pose and dial the ultimate, extreme, remote shutter release to snap the picture. Now that's handy! - 2 voters (4.50) BAR

Internal wiring for the remote switches. It's oh so simple. The worst thing for me was finding a decent project case that was small enough. The floss box could not be better. It completely unfolds for easy access.

Switch uses pink tip wire to connect to Rebel XT. Black box is the old Flash Slave. Now a flash from my point and shoot cam will force the Digital rebel to take a picture.

Compare this photo with the next. The point an shoot is perfectly timed and the perfectly exposed.

The Digital Rebel is over exposed. I am in manual mode, but I am just too close. I will need to up the shutter speed and close the aperture more in future shots. The big thing to notice here is the lag. Note the altitude and hand movements.

This is an old infrared remote. It worked with the motor winder on my A1. Any pulsed infrared (say from a TV remote) will make a relay latch and trigger the shutter. Note that the cable does not yet match. I need to adapt it to a 3/32" connector. Since it works almost identically to the slave flash, this should work without a hitch.

I have re-worked my old Canon A-1 motor drive shutter release. It use any old remote (TV, VCR, etc.) that you might have laying around the house. The 4013 is arranged as a one shot to give the camera a long enough pulse that will trip the shutter. In continuous shooting mode, as long as you press the IR remote, the camera will take photos. The bad news is, you'll have a hard time finding a GP1V52.
