Thanks Rob. Very helpful. I read in your comments that people were having a difficult time finding a foot pedal that did not always trigger the camera. I got a Yamaha foot pedal that when connected would automatic trigger the camera. The camera would stop shooting if you pressed with on the pedal. I then bought a M-Audio SP-1 | Universal Sustain Pedal and had the same issue. I finally got a ProLine Universal Metal Sustain Pedal with a Polarity Switch. That one did the trick. The pedal has a switch that changes the direction of the pedal. That cost @$14 US and works well. Thanks again

Looks like a great idea, ordered the pedal/adapter today. Thanks!

This vid inspired me to implement Pocket Wizards and a foot pedal in my tractor pulling photography. (Fingers crossed)

Thank you so much for this Rob. I have just taken delivery of the Alesis pedal plus the converter cable for my PW IIIe to Sony USB cable and it works like a dream. Should save me slaving it off the A6600s and big lens as I shoot far more on those than I need for a goalcam. Haven't been able to test it on location as everything I was up for this weekend due to covid so can't wait for next weekend. Just need to design a collapsible weatherproof housing for the A6000s and I'm sorted. Fantastic idea and so easy to make. BIG BIG THANKS!!!

Great video and a really cheap solution for a big step forward in comfort

Super set-up Rob! Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely try this. Be a good use for redundant foot pedals until live music is back.

Hi Rob, I will be trying it at an MLS game on Saturday. I will let you know how it turns out.Thanks for the great idea!

Just had the foot pedal come and managed to set up, the pedal on the link is not what Rob demos, just a note, when i set up and hit the pedal the camera continued to fire once it was tapped and when released it continued to fire, I found a little switch on the base , moved it to the right and now all works spot on. Now need to find some football this weekend to try it out

Hi, Rob. Thanks for this idea. I finally got around to picking up a sustain pedal (a Yamaha I saw on sale via Amazon) and I'm seeing a strange behavior: it triggers the PW unless you step on the pedal. I thought this was because I had a stereo 1/4" to 1/8" adapter, so I ordered a mono adapter and I'm still seeing the same thing. Guess I am sending this pedal back and shelling out for the MIDI one!

It's a polarity issue. Yamaha pedals are the reverse polarity of Korg and other brands. Generally, a generic foot pedal will be the proper polarity @@RobSambles

Yeah but the pre release keeps the camera "pre triggered" for want of a better phrase so when you press that button ot takes a photo, no delay.

There were a couple people asking about using this setup with a Yongnuo RF603 triggers. I tried this type of setup last year with those and I could not get it to work. The cable adapters may have been an issue with trying to get from a 1/4in to 2.5mm jack. I instead went direct wire from the foot pedal to camera, which was fine for my needs (dance triggering a wide angle with a telephoto in hand). If you find a setup that works with the RF603's, I would sure like to see how you do it.

I have tried with my Yongnuo RF605 triggers, and can't get it to work. They work great if I just use them to trigger one camera from another, but I can't get the foot pedal to work. I am wondering if the 2.5mm port on the RF605 is only for outgoing signal, and doesn't read an incoming signal.

Nice video Rob! I heard about using a foot pedal before but didn't know it was possible for this price. Do you know if it also works with the yongnuo rf 603?
