You know when you are waiting for a bird, then five come along at once...

Well I found my Chinese radio remote, then somewhat surprised, I found a manual remote... then I found a brace of brand new, Chinese radio remotes, so now I have five!!!

The surprise remotes came from Eric, when I got his D200 IR body, he kindly 'threw them in' commenting that I might find them useful someday; well Eric, I think they will be very useful for this project, thanks again. The batteries are down but I am expecting to visit Maplin in the morning, when I am done plastering the FINAL staircase wall! :thumbs:

These surprise radio remotes also have a 'Bulb' long exposure release, hold the button for more than 3 seconds, then let go, the shutter should stay open until the button is momentarily pressed again.

The Manual release worked initially, but the full release has stopped working unless I tug at the connecting wire. Will fix it...

JK, Why isn't the 'thumbs' at the end of para 3 working? I have noticed several times that the forum software inserts the text for a smiley, but when posted, the smily doesn't appear but the text does...
