Great Item I had this remote for a while before I really used it. I misplaced the instructions to get it to work so I had to find them on line. One I got this working (didn't realize I had to put it on the timer mode then use the remote)I have never used my camera on a tripod or stapization unit without the remote. Very much work the money.
A MUST have! This is an awesome thing to have! No more running to the camera to set the timer, missing it, or having to wait forever for it to go off! I set my camera up, get everything ready and click my remote- I have my picture! So simple!
Love it! This is exactly what I needed to take pictures of my hummingbirds from inside my plateglass windows (the feeders are on the windows). Like others said, the remote must face the front of the camera, but you can work around that. I placed a mirror against some books in front of the camera, and I am able, with no problem at all, to point the remote at the mirror, where it angles it back to the camera and I can take pictures from my couch from the rear of the camera!
It's so little.... I received my remote yesterday and started playing with it immediately. I could not believe how small the remote was and it came with batteries! The feature I like most is the 2-second timer. Since my Rebel XT only has a 10-second timer, this will come in handy. It also has a bulb mode setting which I will most likely use at some point. This is a great Canon product and for the price...it is worth it.
Great Product, Great Price! I was so glad to find this item on Amazon.com. I didn't even realize the wireless remotes were available. I know from some of my older Canon 35MM products the wired remotes with extension (to allow you to be in a group shot and also take the shot) could quickly add up to the area of $100.
This made it much more affordable and I no longer have to deal with that cumbersome cord stretched around the family photos.
The only complaint I have about this product (if you could really call it a complaint) is that it is almost too small. Thank goodness it has a built-in clip that easily attaches to your neck strap or it could be lost easily.
