1 out of 5 stars Worked for 1 outing...   January 4, 2009
Lee J. Wolfe (Seattle, WA)
I have to give it 1 star because of the build quality. I tested the remote at home and thought it was great. I took it on a trip downtown to take pictures of the city and after around an hour I had to hold the chord at a particular angle get it to engage and focus/shoot, but it did work for 6 hours.

For xmas I went on a trip and when I went to use the chord, even holding it at the same angle, I couldn't get it to engage and focus/shoot. It's completely dead. Maybe I could send it back and get it replaced, but then I still wouldn't trust it as my only remote so I'd recommend just getting the next step up to begin with.

Some times it doesn't not work! if I turn on/off the camera, unplug /plug the cord again, it may start work again. what a hassel! Not reliable, so would miss shots!


1 out of 5 stars Died at the WORST time   December 19, 2008
Timothy C. Mayer (Medford, OR USA)
I bought this for use taking panorama shots. I used it one day near home for testing and it seemed okay. A month later, and 1500 miles from home, I was shooting the Grand Canyon when it quit. It wasn't the switch, it was the molded connector that plugs into the camera. I am NOT a happy camper. I finished the shoot using the camera's timer, but that sure slows things down.

James L. Hicks (lithonia ga)
I have used this item on 4-5 field trips and was very frustrated with the
number of misfires and lost picture's I really wanted. I quit carrying the
unit and went back to manual focus untill my wireless remote arrived.
Hey [you get what you pay for] these days, if you are serious about
your picture's go with quality wireless remote.
Thanks James/ Lithonia Ga

Have used it to trigger my Canon 40D on my telescope and it worked just fine.
