Remote Camera Trigger Button
Any length from 5 cm (2 in) up to 100 cm (39 in). Cut from a 1 m cord.
This trigger button goes on your lens and plugs into a transmitter, like a PocketWizard, so you can fire your remotes from the camera in your hands.
The button rides on a #94 rubber band (3-1/2 x 3/4 in) that fits most lenses from 12 to 200 mm, so you can put it wherever it sits best on each lens.
The switch is a light linear key (Kailh Choc, about 50 gf) that fires at 1.5 mm. A raised rim around the key helps stop accidental fires when you grab the lens.
The cord comes in two lengths, 25 cm (9.8 in) or 1 m (3 ft), with a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) mono plug. Pick a right-angle (90°) plug, or a straight plug while they last. Each one is hand-assembled and tested.
Parts
The button, housing and base are printed separately, so you can pick a different colour for each.
