DSLR Accessory question Can't Post

OK....I have this project in the works that will involve some remote stills from my DSLR. I have a couple of questions. I was told by someone that has done a project like this before that there is an eyepiece spotter camera that mounts on the eyepiece of your DSLR and allows you via wireless video feed to monitor what the camera sees through the viewfinder. I can't for the life of me find this online and don't know what to call it. Evidentally there is an eyepiece spotter camera out there somewhere that is run off a 12V battery.

I also need a remote shutter control that will work from a few hundred feet away. Any recommendations on ones that work via long distances?

Just wondering if anyone that dabbles in photo more than me knows where to find these items.


Shouldn't TV's Discovery Channel be on a different station every day?

You can trigger your shutter with pocket wizards.

Thanks....it's been a while since I asked the question. We have figured out the whole logistics now. It all revolves around RC controls and we found a place out of England that sells a remote shutter that plugs into a channel on the RC radio. Flip a swith and it snaps a picture. Our other logistical issue was monitoring what the cam was seeing. We have it figured out too.
