    Any suggestions on shutter triggers??????

    I have been wanting to get one of these for a long time but now that I'm looking I am not finding exactly what I want. I sawa wireless controller but it appears to only fire off the shutter for a regular burst or with a 2 second delay. What I really want is one that I can program for a long exposure (like 20-30 minutes).

    Any suggestions? Trying not to break the bank either. Wireless preferred but I would be willing to use a cord if it works better.

    Here I go a month late.

    I use a cheap ebay one. It is labeled JYC Digital Model jy-110. I can handle bulb mode. One press to open the shutter, second press to close it. You have to time it yourself. I have second trigger set that looks almost identical to my jy-110 but it does not handle bulb mode.

    Check out forum sponsor Link Delight. I remember seeing that they had a line of programmable shutter triggers and grips.
    There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.
