Both the Bite Switch and the Tongue Switch are mouth-operated, totally electronic shutter releases for use with any still camera with a remote shutter release jack. They are compact, durable, and simple to use. Both plug directly into the camera without need for a separate switch module. Conceptus Camera Switches are not adaptations of switches from other applications, therefore their designs are not compromised by excessive parts or circuitry.

Both switch designs are securely sealed, waterproof, and virtually impossible to damage through normal usage. Since the switches are mouth-operated, they do not interfere with grips on exits or in freefall, or with canopy deployment, control, and emergency procedures.
