Nice mod.

a mod i have available to me is to have my Cable Release (which is in a permanent state of bare wires now for ease of use / swapability without a screwdriver present) attached to my wireless receiver for a flash (the cheap eBay ones which just have a short circuit switch in them (ie just the trigger, nothing fancy like ETTL)).  I can then fire the camera remotely, bonus is that i have a separate Hotshoe Extension Cable i can then attach to the camera hotshoe and have a flash fired synchronously with the camera going off.  I have only managed to test the setup so far tho (about 20m range) - it rained on the day i was going to try and get some shots of red kites feeding on a carcass and i didnt fancy leaving my camera out in the rain...  Might take it to the park and get some pigeon / squirrel shots at some point tho...

Total setup cost - around £20-25...
