I am in the process of modifying a IR remote so the remote can be activated remotely. It involves wiring an external wired switch to the remote in parallel to the built-in switch.

I haven't done tight tolerance tack soldering in some time and I screwed up my first modification attempt. At $1.65 a pop delivered, I can afford to ruin an IR remote without shedding too many tears. I'm waiting for the replacement to try again.

If my plan works (and I see no reason it won't) I will be able to trigger the camera's IR receiver anywhere within 20 feet of the camera (the length of my wire - and it is easy to make it longer). And the trigger should work even in bright sunlight (the biggest downfall of the current IR remote design).

Once it is working, I'll publish the 'how to' in the Field Accessories sub-forum along with pictures.
