Step 5Solder wires to pinhead
For my camera I needed a 5-ended pinhead. Two of the pins are for the on/off button and the other three are for focus and release.
I used some breadboard to solder the pinheads to and screwed this small breadboard piece to the housing of the camera. This is important because when you unplug the cables it is quite a big force.
You could also think about directly connecting the two cameras, but I wanted to make them separable again. It might be quite annoying if the cameras were connected all the time.
Use hot glue if you are sure that the wires are working and you don't need to disassemble them again. But you could fix it even on a smooth surface like the back or front of the camera without the need to drill additional holes.
