Remote control for Panasonic GH1

[uncoolrockstar]

Hi,

Does anybody know if there is a generic/ ebay, or any other remote control that can be used to control the video recording button on the GH1? I'm not concerned about using it for normal still photography purposes.

I saw this one on ebay:

However, I'm unsure if this will work for the video record button? Anyone know or have successfully tried any other solutions? Wireless solutions would be even greater! I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks,

I have one similar to this which works:

Note the connector has four conductors -- the one you show only has three. I don't know if three will work or not.

Mine does work for both photos and video.

You definitely need 4-conductors connector.

When dial is in "Creative Movie" mode pushing shutter release button on remote control will start video recording.

Supposedly this item (TW-282) works with GH1 as either wired or wireless remote

Wow, I have a wired model but that thing looks really cool! Would be nice to have wireless control for many reasons.
