External Trigger Hack for Cameras

Here’s a neat little trick on instructables.com for making an external camera trigger from a microphone/earbud that would normally be used for a cell phone.  It’s cheap and easy (even for those of you who are not electrical engineers).

This type of gadget is especially useful for long exposures where the camera has to be very still while the shutter is open.

Unfortunately it’s not compatible with every camera…especially my Nikon D80.  You should check your camera jack before doling out the $3 for the microphone.
