Mono Plug-Many users prefer the "mono" plug, which activates the camera's autofocus and light-metering functions whenever the camera is turned on and the switch plugged in. This results in a very quick shutter reaction time, however the constant autofocusing increases battery consumption.
Stereo Plug-Photographers who prefer autofocusing and metering with each individual exposure should choose their switch with a "stereo" plug. This does conserve battery power, but it also slows down reaction time somewhat depending on the auto-focusing and metering speed. Either type will work with our recommended camera configuration in which the camera is manually focused at the expected distance of the subject and the focus ring taped down.More info on plug types
The Tongue Switch is comprised of a 1/2 inch pressure-sensitive switch mechanism, a 1 inch flattened and bite-resistant stem, a 36 inch coaxial wire, and a 2.5mm plug with a 90 degree elbow bend. It is configured so that the pressure-sensitive switch face is always oriented towards the user's tongue, regardless of the direction of insertion into the mouth, thus allowing the wire to be routed to the left or right. The tongue movement required is most similar to that of pressing bubble gum against the back surface of the front teeth before for blowing a bubble. The user will feel a "click" each time the switch is depressed, indicating that a photo has been taken. The entire switch assembly is waterproof, and since it is situated entirely within the mouth, no jaw or teeth movement is required to retain or actuate the switch while taking photographs. This allows the Tongue Switch to be used with tight fitting rear-entry helmets and ratcheting chin-cups. This feature makes it the favorite of professional freefall photographers who insist on a perfectly stable camera platform.
