it does include all the necessary connections for my cameras, however, the remote itself does not function very well. With my 6d mark ii the shutter release is very delayed by at least 2-3 seconds. with the sony a7 the shutter is pretty responsive but will not do timed released shots.

I found using a wireless remote to be too restrictive so I added this wired remote to my bag of goodies. I use it on a Nikon D3200 and it works flawlessly. A perfect companion to a tripod.

This product not only made it easier to take pictures of my daughter's birthday party, but also enabled me to be in the photos! I plan to use it for every birthday party and for Christmas. I love the product!

Hi.
I understand the feeling when things don't go as planned. We appreciate your understanding on this specific situation, if the pamphlet does not include your camera's model it would mean it's incompatible with it. My best advice is to bring this to the store's attention within the first 15 days after purchase, so they can review it and check if this could be exchanged or returned. I'm really sorry that this device did not work for you.

Should work great but cord too lose
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This remote shutter seems solidly made. It has similar features and functions to other intervalometers and tested fine. When plugged in the connecting cable was so loose that it fell off of the cord with just the weight of the unit. The cord was so loose that it would only function when held tightly in place. On close inspection I found face scratches suggesting that it may actually be a return or refurbished unit. Approach with caution!

Disappointing Without Camera LCD Screen Viewing
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've always liked Insignia products and have always had good luck with them. Not the case this time. I bought this remote for use of a manual shutter release as well as a timer for low light and night photography. The problem is every time that you want to view your picture on the LCD screen on the back of your camera, you have to disconnect the cable from the remote. The same is said for adjusting your cameras settings in the menu screen. Not only is it time consuming but a real hassle if it is pitch black out. By having a DSLR I've always enjoyed the benefit of being able to immediately view my shots on the LCD screen and adjusting the exposure in seconds. This is not the case when fiddling around with the remote comes into play. This remote is not something I would recommend unless you have no other alternative or a great deal of patience. I'm giving it one star because it should work like the rest of its competitors out there.

It works and here's the job done but it seems to be cheaply made. I have trouble keeping the cable securely in at times. Additionally (and I'll not sure if this is the tenure or a camera issue) reviewing the image that you just took with the tenure is not available unless you disconnect the remote.

Who manufactures a interval timer that has to be disconnected from the camera every time you want to view the LCD screen? Its a waste of money. Just spend a few extra and buy a legit one not this piece of junk
