Very small but works great so far

 

Very small but works great so far

I have only used it once and sent one to a friend (the price was really good). I have had other remotes for other cameras and was surprised how small this one is.

Very short range

 

Very short range

I was disappointed with the short range of the remote, not the 15 feet advertised, but more like 3 feet. It comes with no instructions.

A must have "goodie"!

 

A must have "goodie"!

What a sweet little product! If you own a Pentax digital camera you must get one of these! It works from the front or back of the camera and is programmable for release time! Be careful! It's so tiny you may send it through the laundry in a shirt or...

Super Simple

 

Super Simple

This is extremely simple, one button, no synching with your camera, no programming. Just put the camera in remote mode and hit the button. This comes with no instruction whatsoever, probably because it is so simple. Does what is is supposed to do.

Simple & simple

 

I purchased this item because I was mainly the one behind the camera taking the picture whenever the occasion occurred for a family get together. First I tried using the self-timer, but now I have total control, can easily check when everyone is ready...

Excellent but small

This works well with my new K-X, but I am afraid of losing it. Hopefully the solution comes in the form of a little case for flash drives. This holds two small flashdrives. The Pentax Control F fits well on one side and a flashdrive with a pdf file of...

GOOD REMOTE and very small

 

GOOD REMOTE and very small

This worked on my Samsung GX20. It tripped the GX20 on a tripod just fine even from across a 60 foot street to put me in the picture. It is very small and hides well. Nothing not to like.

Doesn't work very well

 

Doesn't work very well

The product description says it works up to 15 feet away. I'm not sure if there are conditions to this statement, but all I know is that it doesn't work that far away for me. I have to be right next to the camera when outdoors in the bright sunlight....
