K100D "long" cable switch

scott_a · 04-18-2009, 01:33 PM

Looking for a 10meter+ cable switch for my K100D - trying to take stills of birds in our backyard feeder. The CS205 is too short, and I already have the wireless remote (D10?) but it only lets me trigger from directly in front of the camera.

I don't want to build my own --- so any other ideas appreciated. Is there something that attaches to the hot shoe with a cable attach to the cable switch port that works from a distance?

Cheers.

I use a 2.5mm stereo extension M/F cable with the Pentax CS-205 remote. They come in varying lengths and are available at amazon for not too much. You should be able to connect several to get more length. I've connected a 12ft & a 6ft with no problems.
