remote control

tony79 · 27-09-2006, 2:11 PM

has anyone got any suggestions for a remote control for the 350d. was interested in the TC-80N3 but dont know if its compatible or not. any other suggestions would be great. would be used mainly in studio behind the camera and also for long exposure landscape photography. thanks

The plug on the TC-80N3 is not compatible with the 350D which requires a mini jack plug to connect. You need one of these , a cheap model or the Canon offering or maybe one of these.

Does that model work with the 300D?

I have the Canon RS-80N3, with my 20D. I find it very useful. It's simple but very effective.

You could always use the self timer for landscapes (assuming the 350D has a self timer).

are they the same connections for the 20d as the 350d or not??

No. The 350D uses a mini jack plug/socket for the remote control.

The 10D/20D/30D et al use a much larger three pin connector for the remote switch/control. See picture below...

tony79 - I was after something similar for my D200 & was advised this was a good one (there is also one for the 350D) albeit a bit expensive (!) Shipping is free though (?)

Never used the company before but they were good enough to contact me when they got some stock in - HTH ... Paul

I use the RC-1 but that would be unsuitable as you need to be in front of the camera. Why they didn't reproduce the sensor on the back I don't know

I know would have made sense but would also mean a lot of people not buying their expensive corded ones I suppose?!?!!?! So what is available from canon corded wise for the 350d? would like something that allows a fair bit of control

Tony79, if you look back at my original reply you will see I suggested three choices for your 350D, two corded and one wireless.

The Canon corded product is the RS-60E3. More sophisticated remotes for your camera do not seem to be available.

I have a RS-60E3 at home - but no longer have a 350D. If anyone's interested i'll dig it out and put an ad in the classifieds.

tony79 · 28-09-2006, 10:29 AM

i did look at your reply koashan and thanks for the suggestions however I would prefer a canon one as Ive never heard of the make youve suggested. will check out the rs60 though!

tony79 · 28-09-2006, 3:33 PM

went and had a play in charles eagles with the rs60e3 seemed pretty good so have purchased it. thanks for all the advice
