Canon RC-6 remote and my add on invention Video
I wanted to use a wireless remote control at distance from behind the camera but the Canon RC-6 remote only works when there is a clear line between the remote control and the sensor. I devised this way of using the remote by using a hair band and a mirror. This set up allowed me to photograph garden birds in my back garden from a distance of 6m. My Fiancee provided the hair band and the mirror. I tested the set up on the 19th April 2011 and it worked really well, i will be putting black tape on the front of the mirror as i found it frightened the birds as they saw movement on the shiny surface. I hope my video is of use to anyone who is interested in photography. I do recommend the Canon RC-6 which cost me £20 from Jessops but it can be purchased cheaper on Ebay. I filmed this using my little Samsung L201.
kind regards
