No better than one I purchased for $16.00

 

No better than one I purchased for $16.00

I own a no-name remote shutter release which I purchase from Hong Kong for $16.00. It does not always work which is a real problem once you have everyone seated around the Thanksgiving table for that once-in-a-year shot. I decided to purchase this...

Works Great!

I use this with my Canon 30D and it works perfectly. I used this from pretty far away with no problems. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you don't have the money to buy the real thing.

WORKS AWESOME!!!

I got this last week and have been using it extensively! I love it. Great distance and love the 2s delay feature. Works well with my canon 30D. The only thing I am not super fond of is the hot shoe holder. When using my transmitters I have no...

Works great with 5D Mark ii

The packaging and marketing for this remote indicate it is made for the 40D and 50D. I bought it and used it for my 5D Mark ii, and it worked like a charm. Love it ! Vivitar should reconsider changing their packaging/marketing for this item to...
