jeff.grant Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 <p>You can buy a remote trigger to fire the camera on Ebay. They are cheap and seem to work well. I have one which hasn't been used much but did the job when I did use it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
