Background Information: Remote releases are useful for minimizing vibration when releasing the shutters as well as for locking shutters open for long exposures. However, using remote releases with some cameras can be cumbersome. The Canon EOS A2E (and it's variants, the EOS 5 and A2) can be especially bad because it uses the 60T3 design which is slow and clumsy to attach (every second counts when the sun is going down or when the subject is moving). In addition, the receptacle on the A2E is located on the grip so switching between handheld and remote release operation often requires removal of the remote. Using the following modification though, a remote release will be integrated into the camera strap and wired internally to the camera. This will allow the shutter to be released at any time using the remote without having to plug it in. This modification also lends itself for use in street/candid photography because it can be used to stealthily release the shutter.
