Hi everyone. 

I am getting a little frustrated in my research for purchasing a wired shutter release for my xs10. 

The main sticking points are finding a good third party one as I think the rr100 is very overpriced, plus it requires a three pin adapter to converts the male 2.5mm jack to a 3.5mm.

I'm struggling mainly with finding an adapter as they are all either four pin, or so poorly rated that they're probably best avoided. 

Has anyone out there sorted their kit out yet and if so, could you please point me in the right direction. 

Cheers 

Simon

Your comment intrigued me enough that I did some research. Based on the information at http://www.doc-diy.net/photo/remote_pinout/ most Fujifilm cameras use the same "remote protocol" as most Canons (and some Olympus and Pentax). So I wired up a 3.5mm plug the same way and it worked! So all you should need is a cheapish ($10 to $12 on Amazon, like this https://www.amazon.com/Kiwifotos-RS-80N3-Control-Shutter-Connection/dp/B071XPW655/) Canon remote and the plug adapter.

Someone on another thread somewhere said "if you look for Canon Rebel you'll be good".

Thank you for your advice, the main sticking point now is finding a suitable adapter... Which is proving a headache. 

A 2.5mm to 3.5mm mic adapter seems hard to find. There are plenty of four pin adapters out there, but they are more for headphones etc.... I'm trying to find a reputable mic adapter and don't really know if a four pin is compatible.

I did find one, although it comes from China so you're probably best off using the description to find something similar closer to you.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
