Motor Drive MA & Compatible Wireless Controller

RalphHightower — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:15:17 GMT

Is there an LC Wireless Controller that is compatible with the Canon Motor Drive MA? The LC-1 Wireless Controller is designed for the motor drive. Are there any current wireless controllers currently in production that would work with the motor drive?

Yes, my Canon A-1 is ancient technology, but my 30 year old camera still works.

Thanks,

Ralph

I had 2 A-1's & both had motordrives. I made my own shutter release cable which was just a simple push on switch (momentary contact) using an old cruise control switch & a mini plug at the other end. I doubt Canon has what you're looking for but I'm pretty sure there's something adaptable on places like Ebay. With all the different radio control stuff out there (I fly R/C) there's got to be something simple that can do the job.
