Product Description
The Manual Timer Remote Control Shutter (A) is an advanced shutter release tool for Canon cameras. The MTR can be used to trigger the camera's shutter, as well as lock the shutter open while in bulb mode. This functionality is useful for long-exposure photographic techniques, such as light painting and star trails. The MTR can also be used as an intervalometer, able to capture groups of images while controlling the delay before the initial exposure, the exposure time, and the time-interval between each exposure. The Remote can control the camera shutter from up to 1 meter away, and has a standby battery life of 2 years.

As I searched for an inexpensive alternative to Canon's TC80N3 the primary criticism I found in the reviews I read for the Satechi TR3MAA that it lacked an on and off switch. The Satechi developers must have read the same reviews. The most recent TR3MAA version now contains an on and off switch. I also discovered that contact with Satechi's tech support department in response to any of my questions has been both prompt and informative.

The remote has basicly all the same functionality as Canon timer remote, but costs near half of that. No big pluses, no minuses, just saves your money. Works with all Canon cameras with compatible connector (means all non-Rebel DSLRs), not just only with the listed.
The minor omission, it does not have off switch and does not have sleep mode, so uses battery all the time. Hopefully does not use it too much - no recharges yet.

This is a decent and much cheaper alternative to the Canon version. I have the newer version with the on-off switch.
However, there are a few quirks. First, actual exposure time seems to be the bulb setting (BU) less whatever the interval (INT) is plus one. So if you set you BU to 50 seconds, INT to 5 seconds, your actual exposures will be 46 seconds. Weird, but I can deal with this.
The second quirk I found is much more of a problem until you figure it out - hopefully this helps someone. The seconds amount of the exposure time (BU) must be at least one more than the seconds of interval (INT) or the interval becomes 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. So if you set BU to 1 minute even and INT to any number of seconds, your interval becomes the max. Pretty annoying. To get around this, set BU to any number of minutes plus 1 second more than your INT. So if you want a 5 second interval, you need to do a 1 minute 6 second expsoure. Which based on what I noted above, will actually give you a 1 minute 2 second exposure.
I have not contacted support about this - for my purposes (astrophotography) a few seconds deviation is OK, as my exposures are in the 4 to 5 minute range.

Does the Job!
Like I said, Does the Job...only draw back is no off button. Must pop the batteries out to turn it off, but not a big deal. Its a timer after all... great bang for your buck.

It's a lemon
I used it twice, first few shots worked but the unit failed since. The remote control is shutting down with low battery even with a new set of batteries.

Works great.
A great option to have over Canon's ridiculously overpriced intervalometer, and have shot several time lapses that have made money on stock video sites.
