Product Description

 This Wireless RF (Radio Frequency) Shutter Release Kit enables you to release the shutter in both wireless and wired modes. The system produces a coded radio signal that works indoors, outdoors, around corners even through walls. It has an effective working range of up to 100 ft.  RF Kit also provides 16 multi-coded channels, giving the photographer plenty of combinations to work with, without jamming the frequency. To use the RF kit wireless, simply attach  the receiver (Blue LED Indicator will blink to indicate receiver is on) to the camera, then use the transmitter to trigger the shutter release. Using the RF kit wired is easily done by attaching the receiver onto the camera, then press the shutter release button located on the receiver. The cord on the receiver is approx. 3ft in length, allowing for ample mobility for photographer positioning. In both wired and wireless modes, press the shutter release halfway to activate auto focus (Red LED indicator will come on to confirm on receiver), then press button  fully to take a picture. High quality and durable design make this Wireless RF Shutter Release Kit stand out amongst the competition of inexpensive and mediocre kits. The receiver can be conveniently mounted on top of your camera (You don't have to, if you need to mount the flash)

This review is from: "Aputure" Pro Coworker Wireless Remote, RF Radio Shutter Release for Canon EOS 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 7D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 1D, 1Ds Mark II, III, IV, Fully Compatible with Canon RS-80N3 (Electronics)

I bought this for my 40D, it seems function well, however, the transmitter (23A/12V Battery included) battery lasts onoy a few days in the transmitter even if I do not use the transmitter at all, I replaced with a new battery, same thing happpened after a few days. Seems there is a circit design problem that cause the battery leakage. Any comments? Thanks.

I called their Shenzhen headquarter in China and talked to their design enginner, they admitted that the circit has problems thatlead to a quick drain as many of you have seen and will see down the road.

This review is from: "Aputure" Pro Coworker Wireless Remote, RF Radio Shutter Release for Canon EOS 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 7D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 1D, 1Ds Mark II, III, IV, Fully Compatible with Canon RS-80N3 (Electronics)

Spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work with the 40D, but it never fired the shutter. Exposure settings were fine, got the green lights, then the red lights, then nothing... tried it every which way, even in delay mode, would keep on blinking, could hear camera beeping, but it would not fire. I could manually press the shutter and the resulting picture would be fine. Enough time spent, it's going back.

FYI - What happened next... I purchased the Vivitar wireless remote for the Canon 40D/50D and it worked like a charm! Wireless Remote Shutter Release For Canon EOS 40D and 50D SLR Digital Cameras

I bought this unit to be able to remotely release the shutter on my Canon 5D Mark II. I worked like charm! I also purchased an additional cable to operate my Canon T1i and it works well on that camera as well.
It is a quality product, with a professional feel, at a great price.
