The shoulder brace and pistol grip wired to the motor is a God send
shooting this type of action. I'm looking at getting a Canon cord
adapted from the 20D to fit the Leica micro switch. Then look out! J

Hi Ted!
Been there, done that.
See: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/getting_a_grip.htm
Curiously, I found that with the R8, the micro switch on the grip was
a "must". With the 30D (as with your 20D) I am finding that holding
the lens barrel in the left hand, the camera body in the right while
depending on the monopod to support the whole rig, is actually more
satisfactory than using the pistol grip micro switch! Results seem
to be more stable.... but, perhaps it's just me.
BTW: In good light, the focus confirmation adapters work quite well
with the Telyt's .... not so if the 2x is added!
Cheers!
