5.0 out of 5 stars Great for tripod photography, May 2, 2008

I picked this up as it was much cheaper than the Canon brand name one, and was pleased with what I got. It takes about 5 minutes with the manual to master this timer remote. If the dial on the side is worth the extra $50, get the Canon, but this works just as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a great product, just a tiny bit cheap., August 8, 2008

By	S. Dorsey (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After losing my first remote shutter release, I purchased a cheap $15 one that I saw on Amazon. It sucked. So I splurged and got this one because it looks like it does it all.

Well, it does not do EVERYTHING, but it does a lot. And it has a reliable mechanism that fires reliably. It also can control timed shots (one shot every x seconds, for instance).

The manufacturing is a bit cheap, but still better than the $15 one I had before. The "Opteka" logo silkscreened at the top looks REALLY cheezy. I removed it using some Eclipse solution. Rubbing alcohol would also work.

This is worth the money if you don;t plan on losing it. It's a pretty nice remote switch.
