Also available as the Phottix TR-90 from Amazon and from some local independents (which is were I purchased mine). I think it's probably available under any number of brand names, but the one for Canon C6 is the one that works with my K20D/K10D. http://www.amazon.com/Phottix-Multi-Function-Remote-Digital-Control/dp/B004U9IZF4 Adorama has it for $53. I got it for $40 from the local shop. I used to have the Pentax Cable Switch 205, but the switch went flaky stopped working. I'm still looking for a switch that I can screw in an old fashion cable release and have the electrical contact inside to connect to the 2.5 mm plug. I've looked into making my own, but the problem has been finding a socket that the cable release will screw into stay screwed in. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Something like this: http://www.repiuk.nl/images/_igp1275.jpg http://www.repiuk.nl/images/_igp1271.jpg It only works for the shutterbutton (the contact for half way AF/camera on isn't available). It was sold by Hama in the last century. Toine I'm still looking for a switch that I can screw in an old fashion cable release and have the electrical contact inside to connect to the 2.5 mm plug.

Re: Anyone using Triggertrap?
I got the dongle and cable last week. Tested it and it works as advertised. I didn't use it (star trails is my goal and the weather doesn't help). You need the version with the red cable it works with all smartphone including volume limited versions.

The default/home screen shows Canon.

Re: Anyone using Triggertrap?
Quoting Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info: The default/home screen shows Canon. You need to make a menu choice on camera brand to see Pentax models and the requisite connector cable. Yeah, but their camera selection system is borked. For example, if you select Pentax Q, you don't see a message telling you that the camera isn't supported (it isn't - it doesn't have a wired remote port), you still see the default screen with a list of cables. Even more confusing, if you'd previously checked the Pentax K-5 (say), which is supported, and then checked Pentax Q, the screen remains unchanged, telling you that the Q is supported and can use the same cable as the K-5. All a bit strange but it doesn't get away from the fact that Triggertrap looks very useful.
