RM-DR1 extension cable...

Stever46789 · Jan 28, 2003

Is there something I can buy aftermarket that will let me extend the length of my remote from the camera?

Thanks in advance team!

nope...but some folks have built extension cables on their own. do a search in the forum and you should be able to turn something up...at least I think that information is correct...if I'm wrong and there is something out there...somebody please chime in and correct me.

Nothing pre-made that I know of, but it's easy to put one together with parts from Radio Shack. Just buy as many stereo 1/8" extension cords (male to female) as you need to make up the distance. For the ends, you just need some 1/8" to 3/32" adapters. One 1/8" male to 3/32" female (for remote control end) and one 1/8" female to 3/32" male (for camera end).

I have connected three 20 foot cords together without any problems.

Look for "Extension cord 3/32 - 3/32" (about $6 for 6ft).

Perfect - that is what I will do.

I want to hide in my garage and put the camera near the bird feeder for some of those cool wildlife shots...

Thanks! Stever

No one said you must buy 5 x 6ft, or pay $30+.
Simply look for a 30ft cord.

Have never seen a 3/32" stereo extension cord in any length. Do they exist?

Ever heard of Google?

Besides, other extension cords can be used with 3/32" adapters (these plugs are inexpensive and common on cell-phone and regular phone hands-free sets).

Yes you can purchase from Radio Shack PN 43-2003 whixh is a 6' extension cable for about $6.75 + tax. I use it with my Sony Remote on my F707 and it works fine.

I don't know how many extension cable you can plug together but my remote + the extension cable give me 12'
Hope this helps

I think your better off goin through the website Bud B mentions. I can get the exact cable I need in a 25' length for something dirt cheap like $4.05 plus shipping. I would think continuity would be better too since I'm not having to splice a bunch of six footers together...

For me that cable looked a bit different than the extension needed, for flash at least.... flash has 4 part plugs, and those cable seemed to have only 3 part plugs... remote might be different tho.

Yes there is a difference - flash has 4 conn on plug- remote has 3.

See the links I posted above.

Yeah, I needed those cables to extend the remote, not the flash. 3 part ones were perfect for my application.
