Canon Remote

Hi,

I was looking at the Canon remotes on Ebay that go for 2.50 Euros and was wondering if anyone else out there had one ?
Are they any good ?
I know it's a cheap item but just wanted some feedback before I buy something useless...

Many thanks.

I picked one up over a year ago for about €5 on e-bay, never given me any trouble. BTW make sure you get one that can be locked on Bulb.

Thanks, looks like the Canon RC-1 may be the best option.

Brian,
I have a spare one Dave Lillis made for me last year. Only for I got a pro release cable with a recent purchase of the pro battery grip would I give it away. If you want it, for free, let me know.

Seanie.

If only I'd checked back here....oh well :roll:

Ran up to Conn's Cameras at lunch and picked up an RC-5.
Tested in the shop and it does support the bulb function for more than 30 seconds.

Thanks very much for the offer Seanie but I should be ok with this...

Ok, your loss... Enjoy your new purchase!
