Status: offline 		I would like to add a servo to my Parkzone Slo-V so I can add a small digital camera that I bought at WalMart. I can velcro the camera to the bottom of the plane but need a way to activate the shutter button. I thought the x-port jack might be the best way to accomplish this. Any thoughts would be great! Thanks, Heath

Status: offline 		I guess that it would help to see what the configuration of the tripping button looks like. I know that on older 35mm cameras, there used to be a threading built right into the button. The photographer could be as close to or as far away from the camera as the cable release would allow. The object of that was mutitasking but a lot of the time it was so that the camera would not be "jiggled" when pressing the shutter. Especially with a slow shutter speed.

See if you can take make an image of your release button and post it -- I can better go from there.
