Getting a grip...

Good Mornin'!

Those of you who know me, know that I'm like the litte bird... "cheap...cheap!" 
 And I'm a bit of a tinkerer, too.

When I bought my 400 Telyt, I bought the cheapest one I could find... It was in 
great condition; but, as you'd exepect, it had the old style, folded aluminum 
hand grip - rather than the newer, moulded hand grips which have a spot for 
either cable or electric release.

No matter.  I built one, from hard Maple.

Now, I've found the need to convert it to an electric release, so I can 
conveniently use the Telyt with the 20D body. (Up until now, I've been pressing 
the button in the normal way, which causes a lot of shots to be lost to camera 
shake.)

If you're not interested in do-it-yourself camera projects, ignore this post.

But if you are in to that sort of thing, and would like to see how it can be 
done... you might find a peek at

Comments, or suggestions for improvements, appreciated.

Thanks for looking!

David.
