Ian Gavlick, Student/Intern, Photo Editor South Bend | IN | USA | Posted: 11:39 PM on 07.28.09 ->> I'm trying to find a way to remotely start/stop video capture on the Canon 5D mark II for a project this weekend. Does anyone have any experience with this? I wouldn't need to see the video live... just looking for an equivalent of a still remote, but in video mode.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You must have someone, or some thing, push the video start button on the back and if you are shooting more than 30 minutes you have to restart because of time limits. I know one person who has rigged up a mechanical "thumb" to push the button but that is a real do-it-your-selfer project.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you don't need to be very far from the camera, this could work for you. Hope that helps. TB  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They could also come in "handy" if you ever have to hitch-hike home from a game. Zing!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

At roughly $25 for the RC-1, it is not a huge risk if it doesn't work.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
