Forget $50 cables - this thing is just as good. The plug pops into the USB jack of the camera, and controls the shutter (and video recording). The button is fairly easy to press, though could be a tad larger. The lock is there, though since the button is flush, I don't see myself using it. The cable is fairly flexible though my only minor gripe is that the cord could be a little longer. And yes - this does work on the Olympus E-P1 for photo and video.

Returned the item because it wouldn't fit either my Olympus E-420 or E-620. From the looks of the connector, I think they sent me a Nikon or Canon shutter release by mistake. The return process was simple though. Wound up buying the Olympus OEM one just to be done with it.

My order for the remote shutter release came quicker than I expected. This remote shutter release will help me to avoid camera shake when I take photos of the fireworks on the 4th of July. I use a tripod but still had some camera shake which did give interesting zig-zag patterns in some of the fireworks but shots will look better without them. I would definitely order from this seller again. Thank you for great service.
