I needed a long distance remote control for my camera Sony vg 30 outside it does not exist in commerce. So I cut the cable inserted in the middle and a cable 3 + son mass of 7 meters long; welds are protected by 2 shrink tubing and shield thicknesses (longer) covers the welds; all isolated by shrink tubing. This works (start, stop, watch, zoom) and makes me a remote control 8 meters. It is a pity that such a remote (or longer) does not exist in trade, it is very useful for animal films.
