I've now decided to keep it separate and use a 60D purely for the Sniper and Tair 3. The other set up will be the 70D and 100-400L with the occasional swap for a Takuma f1.4 50mm for location and general shots. Nice shots on your Flickr and I do like your camo cover for your 100-400L ;¬)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876282947763028328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246660321469146332.post-21150896817293470142014-12-14T20:35:38.404+00:002014-12-14T20:35:38.404+00:00Here's how i made my 7d and my 100-400L work o...Here's how i made my 7d and my 100-400L work on the photosniper. The trigger is pushing into a remote control that triggers the 7d to shoot :) I do miss quick control on the camera but in general it works nice and stable. I do use the image stabilizer in the 100-400 as it helps a bit when aiming at a bird or deer. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gipukan/15878493915/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075272426558718475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246660321469146332.post-3559777217881383012014-11-16T12:02:11.355+00:002014-11-16T12:02:11.355+00:00Its complicated!

These activate the shutter via the base of the specially modified body and the aperture ring on the lens. (The lens is 'cocked' on full aperture then released to the set aperture just before each shot.) With the Canon DSLR you don't need to 'cock' the aperture and you have to modify the trigger internally with a switch, usually from a cable remote that activates the canon. Google 'photosniper DSLR modification' its a standard mod. If you look at the pic of me you can see the cable remote strapped to the grip underneath my right hand. Its a quick mod where you just squeeze the grip to press the button with your palm. Ive now done the full mod and will be putting pics on 'Andrews DIY' soon. You going to get one?? ;¬)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876282947763028328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246660321469146332.post-1872697960302732712014-11-16T11:57:46.015+00:002014-11-16T11:57:46.015+00:00Photosniper is very handy.

Surely the Sniper has a mechanical shutter release and the 70D has an elictronic release?<br />ReplyPeter Asherhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/peter-asher/noreply@blogger.com
