This is good wireless with great value for money.
I would say that the only concern that I have with it, is the feel that it is not original, but as a function; it really work well.
Rating: 4 / 5
Every thing I expected for the price, I would recommend it.The service was very good.

This works well and is a great help getting rid of artifacts from pressing the camera button when using long exposures. It is also great for sitting in a chair and enjoying the sunset while photographing it. Another good trick, if you ever need to trigger two cameras at exactly the same time (as I do for research) at different angles, buy two of these puppies and put one receiver on each camera. They can both be activated by the same transmitter unit. This is a good cost effective unit. The only drawback is that it is easy to forget you have turned the receiver on. It takes about 24 hours to drain the battery completely and WOW is that battery expensive! I paid about $10 to replace it.

This is not the junk that some others would suggest. Who cares what the shipping box looks like. It had adequate protection. I installed a battery in the receiver and it was working immediately. If there are other wireless shutter releases in the area, you’ll have to switch the dip switches on both units to another setting (same on each). With the antenna fully retracted, I could get it to work fine from a distance of 30 feet.
Turn on the receiver when you want to use it by pressing the gray button. Press it again to power down the receiver.
The transmitter comes on when you press the button.
Press the transmitter button down half way (as you would the shutter release on the camera) and it will focus and set the exposure — as expected.
Press it all the way down and it will take the shot.
For night shots, hold the transmitter button for at least 3 seconds and the camera will go into “bulb” mode with the shutter staying open. Press it again to close the shutter.
I did not experience the transmitter shutting down after a minute. Maybe they fixed that problem.
These units aren’t chrome plated or rubber-over-magnesium, but they do NOT look like Chinese toys.
A real bargain!

I have only used this product a couple of times and have no complaints. It seems to work well and is easy to use. I’m sure that there could be design improvements which is why I give it four stars. But, it has worked great so far.
