: Which body you use shouldn't matter. What you probably want to do is put a
: winder on each one, and wire the trigger release connector in each in
: parallel with a simple switch. There should be no need to modify the camera
: in any way. Winders (both 1 and 2) are pretty plentiful, and reasonable. I
: picked up a functioning Winder 2, maybe an 8 cosmetically, for $1 from a
: dealers junk bin. They are all over E-bay as well. A motor drive would work
: as well, but they are significantly more expensive.

Interesting, I did not know that. I just tried it, connecting Motor Drive 1 and
Motor Drive 2 with a simple cord with two mini jack plugs, and it works.
Connecting Winder 2 and a Motor Drive did not work - it caused the Motor Drive
to fire continously: I guess they have reversed polarity or something. Anyway it
is simpler than using the Remote pins of the Relay cords and I wonder if using
these pins instead has any advantage.
