STIS: I'm looking for a panic button

Posted by marcel (aka marcel) Apr 30 '13, 12:09

you know, that button they have in every game show. I want to hook it up to a camera on a tripod, so people at a party can push it and photograph themselves.

But those things are expensive, like USD 80 or so here.
Any ideas?
