Olympus RM-CB2 Release Cable - what is lead connector please?

[Mel_P]

Hello - I have a pixel wireless timer remote control for my Canon 5D. had it some time - obsolete I expect! TW282TX (example here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254878027991)

This has a canon plug - 2.5mm 2 pole jack (fits in pixel end). The cheapest way to get a cable release for my OM-D E-M5 Mkiii would seem to be getting another lead to go from the pixel device to my M5.

Can somebody advise what plug is on the end of the Olympus RM-CD2 cable release please. The socket on the camera seems to be different for every Olympus model.

e.g.
2.5mm jack??
2 pole? 3-pole??

Hope that you can help. Thanks, Mel

The E-M5 iii uses the 2.5mm connector so you just need a 2.5mm to 2.5mm cable. Note that it's three-pole, not two.

Thanks. I have a nice short 3-pole 2.5mm - 3.5mm lead so I have ordered a 3.5mm socket - 2.5mm 3-pole plug from the bay to set me up. Thanks. Mel
