KP and shutter release

Hi,
Got my new KP and Battery Grip. What a pleasure this camera is to use and program. All my lenses fit and work even with the Kenco tele adapter.
I have one complaint that is the wired shutter release and receiver with my wireless and some other plug into the mike outlet are not comfortable I have ordered a JJ wired remote and a wireless remote, but would still like to use the ones I use for my the K5. Does any one know if there is an adapter available? Need a model and manufactures name. Any thoughts?

I just bought a generic 4 pole 3.5mm male to 2.5mm female audio adapter - No idea on brand, it cost about $2 and works fine.

As far as I know it's a standard adapter for cellphones.

Comfortable or compatible?

I didn't realize until I read this post that the KP didn't have a dedicated 2.5mm port. Somewhere in a drawer I have an adapter identical to what Ex Finn. posted. I picked it up a couple of years ago from a local computer shop for a car stereo I had. I think it cost me $3.00.

Guess I'll need to find it to use my wired remote...

Got a JJC JM-II remote and JJC MA wired shutter release, also a pair of Vention adapters so all of my Youngnuo triggers will work on the KP happy camper. Didn't cost more than $50.00 cdn for the whole lot.
Also got a pair of Newmowa batteries and dual USB charger will solve any power problems ($30 cdn) and only 1 charger for all the KP batteries DL-I109's . Hope this is useful thanks for your responses you pointed me in the right direction,
Gord
