4 Stars Functions Well
This item functions well. Just as described. My only recommendation is that you remember to plug it all the way in. You may think that it is pluged in, but if it is not fully connected, it will not function. I found that I had to actually feel/hear a little bit of a “click” while plugging it into the camera before it would function.
5 Stars $40 cheaper than the original, works just as well
Forget $50 cables – this thing is just as good. The plug pops into the USB jack of the camera, and controls the shutter (and video recording). The button is fairly easy to press, though could be a tad larger. The lock is there, though since the button is flush, I don’t see myself using it. The cable is fairly flexible though my only minor gripe is that the cord could be a little longer. And yes – this does work on the Olympus E-P1 for photo and video.
5 Stars Better Than Expected
Works straight out of the box! The actual switch i recieved looked nothing like the picture on the sale page, but overall the style did not jeprodize the usability of the product! I ordered on 7/27, used standard shipping and the item wasnt supposed to arrive until 8/1-8/3, but it arrived the morning of 7/30!!! GREAT PRODUCTS AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BOUGHT FROM 47TH STREET AND IT WONT BE THE LAST TIME EITHER!! THANKS 47TH STREET!!
5 Stars Remote for Olympus DSLR
The product worked right out of the box . I just plugged it in and could fire the Camera shutter without making any special settings. It was just what I needed ,at a real good price
4 Stars Opteka remote shutter release for Olympus sp-570uz
Product was as advertised and arrived as stated.
The cable is about 36″ long. It appears that the USB connector is non standard and an extension cable is not available.
The product was from 47th St Photo. An email question to them about an extension cable was not answered.
I consider this poor customer service for a small item. A major purchase would have me looking elswhere.
