That's the one.
I reported that the case was flimsy and the 9v battery compartment didn't
close properly. Turns out it's my cheapo Radio Shack rechargeable battery
that's a little off-sized. A Duracell fits fine and the compartment
closes tightly.
I also snapped the receiver open and replaced the 1/4" jack with an 1/8"
mono jack and 6-inch wire so the thing wouldn't be sticking out sideways
on the camera. You could achieve the same thing with a 1/4" to 1/8"
adapter and an extension, but I had all the parts on hand and I needed to
use it that same night. Like Richard Crowley, I like taking the soldering
iron to electronics to tailor or modify them, as long as they only cost
$10... :-)
