User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Simple and easy to use
I have had this for more than 1 year. It helps me to take quality pictures of moving objects.

5 Stars WORKS AS ADVERTISED
Used the remote to trigger my Canon SXI Rebel while on a tri pod. It works well with no problems. Use it when taking night shots where you have to have a low shutter speed.

5 Stars Gets the job done, great value
There is nothing particularly exceptional about this product (or any remote for that matter), but it gets 5 stars because it does its job and the price is unbeatable. This remote works with my XSi and I’m glad I went with this over a pricey Canon brand remote or the DIY option.

5 Stars Great Product.
Great product, no troubles at all, feels great. Delivery way before due date, so i was very surprised to recieve the package that early. No complaints here as i knew the cord was short… This device is just for not shaking your camera by pressing the shutter release, not for “long” self-shoots. It also locks, so great for “Bulb” shots. Works great with night and astro photography and whatever other app that requires rock-solid stability.

1 Star Waste of money in the long run
I bought this remote for my Canon XSi in December 08. By June 09 it was in the trash since it no longer worked. In that interim of about 6.5 months, I hardly used the thing. When I pulled it out to take some long exposures of waterfalls while on vacation the remote didn’t work at all. Push the button and nothing. So when it came to when I really needed it, it didn’t work. Absolute junk!

4 Stars Best thing I’ve bought for $10 in a long time
It does what I was hoping it would do. Range is about 15-18 feet. What more do you want for ten bucks?

2 Stars Good if used on very short distance.
I used it while I was camping. I didn’t have any problem to set it up but i was surprised about how short the distance between the remote and the camera must be to be able to control the shot. And you must be just in front so It took me some acrobatics movement to be able to take some shoots during our fire-camp. Other than that it’s a great little remote, very light but just not what i need.

5 Stars Works great, awesome price
This wireless remote works great. Some people complain about the distance, but the technical details clearly states up to 16ft working distance, which is plenty for my needs. I love this wireless remote and the fact that I am finally in some of my own pictures. I look forward to doing self-portraits. Definitely worth getting.

5 Stars Opteka Remote for my CANON XSI
This remote is amazing, and it’s easy to set your camera up to use it. I love it… Been taking family photos like Crazy…. And it was a great price, and fast shipping.. What more could I ask for…

5 Stars Not as small as the Canon branded remote, but works just as well for less $
The remote works just fine, range as expected. Only downside to choosing this remote over the canon branded one is that the canon one is a lot smaller and will attach to your neck strap. I gave it 5 stars because it is 1/3-1/2 the price of the canon remote.

1 Star Not the same product as pictured
The product picture as of 2009-05-18 (and last week when I ordered) is for a different product (that is, the photo is of the thing I was looking, but does not match what I received) — the product sold here has a mini-headphone jack style connector, NOT the specialized Canon connector shown in the photo.

4 Stars Remote Release
The cord works as it should. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I would have wanted the shutter button to be on the larger end of the switch instead of the smaller end, near the cord. No worries otherwise.

5 Stars Opteka is better buy than Canon
The Opteka remote release cord has a 10 foot cord and is much more versatile than the short Canon cord. So far I have experienced no problems with it.

5 Stars Remote Release For Canon EOS Rebel
This is one of the best accessories you can have for a Canon EOS Rebel XT. it’s a lot cheaper than the Canon product and has a 10′ cord, something the Canon product lacks. basically a plug and play device that works great. thanks Opteka for a great product. but this one and forget about the Canon remote.

5 Stars great product
this works wonderfully with the Cannon Rebel xs, though I have not played around much with the bulb setting. I recommend a longer cord like this one, and it has been quite handy shooting self portraits to use as drawing references, a shorter cord would have made things much more difficult.
