3.0 out of 5 stars Good basic remote, July 19, 2007
By BrianS "BrianS" (California) - See all my reviews
The Opteka remote control unit is conveniently small. The 4 buttons at the top were dedicated to Olympus (I have an E510), but there are buttons for other major brands. The unit works with the built-in sensor in your camera. While it is meant to be used from in front of the camera, I was able to trigger the shutter from behind while indoors ( I haven't tried it outside yet, or at distances over 5ft.).

The W and T functions are turned on when your camera is in BULB mode (dial to max shutter time) so you can manually open and close the shutter. I can't figure out what the + and - buttons do (they exist on Olympus' remote too) but there is no explanation for them in the Olympus manual. The RC-7 comes with minimal information. The remote works fine and offers control for 4 other brands of camera. At $12.95, it's about half the price of the Olympus remote.

Follow up: I've been using the remote for about a month now and have found it useful for quick hands-off shutter release (instead of using a shtter delay). I have upgraded my original review from 3 to 4 stars (though the edit won't let me change the stars).

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, no burden to carry and it does the job, January 23, 2008
By Lewis A. Edge (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
My headline pretty much summarizes this product. Costing much less than either the Olympus wireless remote control or Olympus wired shutter release, this little remote control is small and lightweight enough to carry in your camera bag at all times. It worked flawlessly with my Olympus Evolt E-510 right out of the box. The camera's infrared sensor must, of course, be turned on for it to work and the remote control must be pointed at the sensor. Not having to rush to get in front of the camera before the self-timer trips the shutter is a luxury for those who want to photograph themselves alone or in a group. Great product at a great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOrks very well and much cheaper then the actual Olympus remote., August 15, 2007
I have had no problems with this remote on most of my Olympus cameras. Shutter control is very fast, no delay and the range is very good. It is very light and small. I would give it 6 stars if possible.
