Cheap but Good

"Compared to its Nikon equivalent this is cheap and flimsy gear- but it is much lower priced and it does seem to work well. That said I actually like the design better than the Nikon, it's smaller and better ergonomically and the cord is less bulky and more flexible.

If only it worked

"I bought this item because it seemed to be a cheap way out, as compared to the prices of the Canon brand remotes. But, what they say is true. You do get what you pay for. The item arrived broken. But, even if the item did work, I am sure I would have returned it. It looks and feels like a very cheap and flimsy product. I learned a lesson. After investing so much money into the camera body and many lenses,..." Read Full Review »

"Super simple to setup... just plugs into the camera. Super easy to use... works just like the camera button, depress a little to focus, press all the way to expose. The cord length is the only disadvantage, but for the price it is perfect for taking tripod shots without camera shake. "

"I bought this remote release because the MC-30 was out of stock at B&H, and I was in a time crunch.



Pros: AF function works well, semi-rubber-ish grip makes it easy to handle, and the cord is of adequate length.



Cons: Very hard to get into place on the body (in my case, a D300) - because it …"  Read Full Review »

"i use this primarily to reduce camera shake when using a tripod for long exposures or macro. this remote shutter feels kind of cheeap when you're using it, but it was significantly cheaper than the nikon version and i didn't want to spend the extra for name brand. very useful at a good price. "
