Default Cable release for F90X

Does anyone know the best price for the electronic cable release for the F90x?

Additionally, has anyone DIYed one for himself? Would appreciate info on parts/head etc. Made one for my minolta before, but this one is a bit more complicated.

Nah....tried it an it works!

Saved myself probably $80. Need to get some proper switches and connectors for a more permanent solution.

Didn't use clay, found a 9 pin mini-din connector and pulled out the irrelevant pins and modified it to fit the socket. Hooked it up to separate push buttoms for focus and shutter, thinking of adding a switch for bulb.
