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)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works For Me, January 28, 2010

This review is from: "Aputure" Pro Coworker Wireless Remote, RF Radio Shutter Release for Canon EOS Digital Rebel t1i, t2i, t3, t3i, xt, xti, xs, xsi 300d, 350d, 400d, 450d, 500d, 550d, 600d, 1000d, 1100d, 60d, Fullly Compatible with Canon RS 60-E3 (Electronics)

I currently own a Canon Rebel XSi. I did a little research on remote shutters before deciding on the Aputure Pro Coworker Remote Shutter. I ultimately chose this remote for its use of RF radio frequency over infrared by Canon's RC1 and RC5. I was able to leave my camera in one room and walk over 50ft away, and while pressing through 2 walls still getting instant triggering.

Some things to note: if you insert the transmitter in to the hot shoe slot, the pop-up flash is disabled. No biggie just let it dangle or wrap it around the camera/lense somehow if you are need of the flash. Also, this remote does not require you to change the drive mode to "Self-timer/Remote control." Whatever drive mode you set your camera for, is what will be used if you leave the remote trigger on continuous shutter release.

This review is from: "Aputure" Pro Coworker Wireless Remote, RF Radio Shutter Release for Canon EOS Digital Rebel t1i, t2i, t3, t3i, xt, xti, xs, xsi 300d, 350d, 400d, 450d, 500d, 550d, 600d, 1000d, 1100d, 60d, Fullly Compatible with Canon RS 60-E3 (Electronics)

I have NO issues with the operation or quality of this accessory. I ordered it with my fingers crossed and was not dissapointed.
One design issue, there are two modes of operation on the transmitter - instant/bulb and self timer mode. The self timer mode seems a little un-needed as this RF release has a good half-press feel and provides vibration free no-contact release. An additional 5-sec delay seems useless unless... you want to be in the pictures yourself and want 5 seconds to stash the transmitter out of sight before the shutter releases? The Instant/Bulb mode: half press then full press to instantly release shutter. You activate the Bulb mode by pressing and holding the shutter release button on the transmitter for >3 seconds. The Red LED on the transmitter will go out, the red LED on the receiver will stay on - deactivate bulb mode by pressing button again.
I wish the switch had Instant/Bulb and OFF positions instead. That's right there is no OFF position for the transmitter. I opened camera bag to find that something had managed to press the buttton in while stored, sloppy me - no biggie, battery seems to last a long time.
This works well with my Canon G11. I do a lot of night photography and HDR. When I have my camera on the tripod and wireless release in my hand I feel like an old time photographer working with the modern day equivalent of a field camera on sticks - air bulb release in hand...

Not only did I received fast delivery and wonderful service, the remote works fantastic! The remotes works same principle as a wireless printer. The camera recognizes it through interior walls. I can also be sitting inside my home (having my camera already set up pointing to the focal point that I want to capture) and snap pictures of my birds at their feeders without scaring them and capture the image! There are so many possibilities with this remote than just snapping a family photo and being within the photo at the same time!
