Product Description

This digital timer remote is designed to trigger a camera shutter with regular time intervals, featuring self-timer, interval timer, long-exposure timer, and exposure-count settings.

The timer can be set anywhere from 1 second to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. The buttons can be operated with a single thumb. The LCD panel can also be illuminated. The remote has a stylish and ergonomic design, making it a pleasure to use. It has a super large LCD screen. The shutter release button on the remote is a two-stage button: half-pressing the button will cause the camera to focus, and full-pressing will trigger the camera's shutter.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A DEAL! Update. July 2, 2010

By Craig Hartley

When was the last time you ran across a bargain in photography? That long, huh?

This is the best and most affordable photo gadget I've run across in years! I bought this for architectural and fireworks photography with my Canon 5dII, but it does much more. First, there is the main button. Press it halfway and it focuses your camera. Push all the way and the camera fires. Slide the main button up, and it locks the shutter open for "Bulb" time exposures.

Use the "set" button to program the timer to trigger the camera up to 100 hours in the future.

Program it to fire off one frame after another every second/minute/hour forever.

Program it to fire off ten frames at twenty second intervals thirty hours from now--or any other combination.

Program it to take a 30 second time exposure starting five minutes from now.

The instruction manual is a bit puzzling, so it is best to just connect the trigger to your camera with the three-foot cord and play with it. THEN read the instructions, which are a tough slog.

The unit appears solid and well-made, and is powered by two standard "AAA" batteries which last for months. I've uploaded a few fun pictures of the unit.

UPDATE: I've been using this product for almost two years, mainly for architectural photography. It still works perfectly and I haven't changed the batteries!

5.0 out of 5 stars $27 are you kidding! June 4, 2010

Found this thing for $27 and thought it had to be to good to be true, well it's true! The unit works great, mind you it doesn't have the best in the way of a manual, but with a little play and following the on screen prompts you should have no problems. It is worth every penny I paid and have no regrets. Considering that the can version of this is 7X the price you really can't go wrong! Get it while it's cheap and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for the price! June 1, 2010

I have been looking at remote timers for my Canon 5D Mark II for some time now. I had a hard time justifying Canon's price on the TC80-N3... when all that is really needed is the electronics to remotely trigger the camera. I found this device, on Amazon, for $100 LESS than the Canon version. Bottom line... this device works perfectly. You never know about the longevity of "after market" products like this, but it seems to be solid enough to do the job for quite some time. And after saving $100... I'll take my chances!
