Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Olympus 108852 Lens Shutter Zoom Accessory Kit contains convenient items you need to make your Olympus 35mm point-and-shoot camera more versatile. The kit includes an RC-200 infrared remote control for cameras with self-timer functions. The remote has a 5-meter operating range; the remote also beeps when you press it, so you'll know if it is activated. Also included are a compact yet protective carrying case with a convenient belt loop and Velcro closure, a mini-tripod that screws into the base of the camera, and a replacement Duracell 3-volt lithium battery.

With the exception of the remote shutter control, this collection of accesories really doesn't add any unique functionality. You can buy the battery almost anywhere, the case is nice but unexceptional, and the tripod won't fit into the camera case -- a logical place to carry it.

Of the three pieces (I won't comment on the battery since it's just a Duracell CR123 that you can buy anywhere), I use the case the most, the remote shutter release occasionally, and I've never used the tripod. I have a feeling your mileage won't vary. :-)

I must say, not exactly the best lens I've seen but the remote control makes a nice accessory if you are tired of taking pictures of family, but not the WHOLE family because you are taking the picture? The tripod is sort of flimsy, but I do like the carrying case indeed!

Other than the remote, the other accesories in this pack are not to die for. The base is dinky, the battery you can get at any drug store and the case, while it is very nice, can not hold the remote or the base (really dumb marketing move).
