A hearty salute to those brave enough to solder!

Flickr group member Chris isn’t afraid of a circut board and he’s created a great DIY GPS adaptor for his Nikon.

You could also add those photos to the Photojojo group map. Check it out, you’ll find some amazing photos to explore.

According to Chris, the adaptor seems to work for any Nikon that would work with the MC-35 adaptor. Now anyone have something for a Canon?
