What I think would be amazing is if you could adapt something like the Aaton handgrip with start/stop switch for the AF100. Abelcine sells one for the RED. http://www.abelcine.com/store/Aaton-Handgrip-for-RED. Of course it is stupidly expensive...

You mean something like this?

Mac,
Don't throw away your Aaton handles yet ! Yes, same handle start/stop to right, inching to the left. Abel made us a long cable w/lemo on one end (handlle) and mini plug (3.5mm?) on camera end. We run the cable thru the rods all the way to back of camera. You could probably make the cable yourself if you're handy w/lemo connectors.
In actual practice the on/off switch is a little clunky . You depress switch to the right and camera runs, but to stop you must not only depress switch to the left but depress it to the right again. Does that make sense? So yes , the handle switch does work but takes a couple extra motions to stop recording.
Of course, I have not tested what happens if you inadvertantly plug in handle cable to camera while switch is in "on" position. I know I wasted a lot of film in my Aaton
back in the day : ) Camera ran so quietly that a lot of film could run thru the gate before you heard it run out!
When shooting AF100 on a tripod I have discovered that I can use my Zoe zoom control rec button to start/stop recording very conveniently from the tripod handle. Of course, zoom function will not work.

What I would like to know is how to trigger the AF101 by movement. It would be for this sideproject of mine:

(this was shot with a Sony handycam with IR but they have babies now who will come out at the end of the afternoon which could be shot with an AF101 with 300mm lens without IR)

Remote start stop record for AF100
Has anyone had any luck actually building the switch or wiring up the S/S jack on the camera? With a 2.5mm plug in that jack, absolutely nothing happens when the pins are connected together. I had thought this just required a momentary contact pushbutton to short the tip to the sleeve but that seems not to be correct (or I'm missing something).
Any help out there?

Got it!

I put a simple 10K ohm 1/4 watt (non-variable) resistor between pins B & C and now Start/Stop works perfectly with a momentary contact switch between pins A&C.
It did add .99 cents to the bill but now you have 4 spare 10K ohm resistors (they come in a 5-pack).formerly SNP
