Adorama Wireless Radio Remote Release for Canon EOS 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D & 40D SLR Digital Cameras (3 Pin)

Works like a charm. Purchased to complement my 40D and have had no problems. Very handy product, wish I would have purchased sooner. Quality is good and the price is considerably less the the Canon version. Removed from box, plugged into camera and started taking pictures. The remote I received is not the pictured product, but from my experience with Adorama, I trust them 100% on all purchases.

This is an excellent remote trigger for my canon 5d mark II. I havent used at a
long distance (maybe 30 or 40 feet), but that satisfies my needs. I'm confident
it will work at a longer distance if I needed it. I highly recommend this item.

This is a great little remote, I've had mine for about a year and it is still going strong. The range seems pretty good, I've set my camera up on a tripod focused on a bird feeder which I triggered from within the house for a few shots I wouldn't have been able to get as easily. It does feel quite cheap, but as long as you are careful I don't think that will be a problem, but considering you can order this remote for under $20 from Hong Kong sellers it's cheap enough to replace if something goes wrong. Sure the canon brand remotes may be built better, but you'd have to go through quite a few of these before you even come close to matching the canon prices.

There's not much to say about its operation as it works fine with my Canon 50D. As another reviewer has mentioned, one of the AAA batteries must be placed pointed the opposite way alongside the other battery. It really is unusual to see the tension spring on the negative end in the battery compartment.

The only issue I have is that my remote came with the battery already installed in the transmitter and a hook & loop tape that was in the enclosed parts list was nowhere to be found. I have never had any problems with Adorama in the past but if this was a demo or return unit, it still shouidn't be a problem. I am just wondering if there really was a hook & loop tape that was missing and if it was a required part. I also noticed another reviewer mentioned something about an extra battery... which was not in my package.

I have a suspicion that some of the older pre-2008 reviews were based on what might be an older version of this remote. The one I have feels quite solid and not cheap. The battery covers are actually on quite tightly and required some force to remove. Also, the receiver I have uses 2 AAA batteries and not one CR2 battery as described in other reviews.

However, it should be noted that this remote should not be used when the camera is set in the high speed multiple shot mode. Mine malfuntioned and would not stop shooting until I disconnected the remote receiver and I removed the camera battery just in case. This same occurrence was also reported by another reviewer.

Simple. Compact. Different. I wasn't too sure whether I would like this product when it arrived in the mail. It seemed too light weight, small, to make a different. But it ended up being a very good investment. Once connected, it worked perfect. There was a big difference in carrying around the cordless trigger (which is easy to hide if you are in the picture), rather than a cord trailing you for 25- 50 feet. Setup is easy. A little more expensive than the corded triggers but worth it to me.
