This was great when I wanted to take pictures of the humming birds. I didn't have to get up to take the picture, all I had to do was push the button. That way I didn't scare them off.

I like this product. The directions were very intuitive. It came with multiple connections for whatever brand of camera you have. I found it very easy to use and it does the job expected.

Cheap and easy to use. Comes with multiple chords for different brands. Never had an issue with it. Don't expect to control settings with it. It's obviously not capable

I have 2 others that camera store will always charge you list price ,, bestbuy sale price can't be beat at half the cost ... it is just a switch with 2 contacts
use a remote to avoid camera movement on the tripod ,, instead of pressing the shutter and it is lot faster instead of pressing the camera shutter or using the timer delay

The remote was easy to attach to my camera. The length of the wire may not be very far, but it's perfect for an inexpensive way to have a remote shutter for a camera. I had a camera on a tripod and didn't want to move it while taking pictures which clicking the shutter on the camera can sometimes do, so this shutter remote was perfect.

When I found out my new Canon T6 does not have a remote sensor, I needed a way to open the shutter for long time exposures. This cable release is easy to use. It is also very reasonably priced. If you plan to take time exposures, this is a good item to have in your camera bag.

The reason I bought this remote was because I own different camera models that require a different input for a remote. This solves the problem and will fit 4 types of inputs. I tried it out and it works well with all my cameras. A very handy device when you need it!

This shutter remote works with a variety of cameras because it includes 4 different inputs. Its versatile nature makes it perfect for me since I have more than one camera, and each has a unique port for the remote. This will fit with all of them!

I purchased this wired remote to accompany my Canon 80D when I shoot from a tripod. I've had great success taking photos of the moon with no noticeable camera shake. Excellent product at a very affordable price.

I purchased this to use with my Canon 60D to take photographs of the night sky. This remote shutter allowed me to take photos without causing camera motion by touching the camera itself. Inexpensive and works great!

The first time I tried it, I had to wiggle the connector around a bit on the camera side to get it going, but it has worked fine since, and makes a decent cable release. It's far cheaper than Canon's, which isn't that well reviewed. Good overall value.

This was my first shutter release and I have to say that it worked great with my Canon Rebel XTi. I find it very helpful when you don't want to use the camera's timer. I found this remote useful because when I shoot HDR photos or (most recently) hyperlapse images not having to press the shutter was very helpful.
The other feature I found helpful for me was the Hold button on the release and I found it helpful when used in Bulb mode.
I still see myself using this when I upgrade my camera in the distant future.

The remote shutter device is a simple and easy plug in device that really comes in hand during long time exposure especially when using the Bulb feature. It comes with multiple adapters and a decent cord length.

I've been super frustrated with wireless IR remotes because they never take ve picture when I want it to simply because something was ever so slightly in the way. With this, I have the space I have to work and take the photo. I have to deal with wires but I think that worth the crazy headaches I got from the wireless one.
