One-Way Remote Controller

"I have only owned this a short time but am somewhat disappointed that it does not work from the rear of the camera.

If the camera is positioned to photograph wildlife (for instance) the receiver on the camera is facing the subject and a photographer behind it cannot trigger the camera. I a..." Read Full Review »

"How did I ever get by without this little beauty?



I bought this remote to go with my Canon XTi. I am a bit of a self portrait enthusiast and setting the timer, and then having to run in front of photos was very old. The remote has a 'immediate' and '2 second' timer on it, so it's quite versatile. …"  Read Full Review »
