Pixel Wired Shutter Remote Control RC-201 RSL1 Shutter Release Cable with RS1 and RS2 Type Compatible with Panasonic Cameras

Great stuff and delivered quickly

I have left my original review intact below but I received a second shutter release to test after my complaint. This one works much better and fires consistently, so I have updated my rating to reflect this.The connection to the camera is a little weak, but this seems more a design issue with the interface than a problem with this particular shutter release. Gone are the days of the robust Canon RS-80N3 connection, so I guess I’ll have to factor in shutter cables breaking rather than lasting for many years.——After using the cable three times, I can no longer rely on this shutter release cable. Its shutter action is intermittent, which defeats the point of using a shutter release cable - I want it to reliably trigger the shutter. This product doesn't do that.Very poor product quality. As the saying goes, buy cheap, buy twice.

This shutter release is not the sturdiest release that I have bought in the past.....this the third release that I have had (one lost and one broke) to replace the more expensive one that I had broke I decided to buy this model with the idea that it did not matter if it did not last long, at the price it could be replaced. I have now had and used it regularly, this cheaper release has outlived the failed dearer release I am very happy with it and would not hesitate to buy another one in the future.

If you want a cheap no thrills shutter release then this will do.Got this for my 7D , lost my one so replaced with this , build quality is what you'd expect at this price but it does what it suppose to and that's to take pictures . The connection is good and solid but if your a sausage fingered fumbling buffoon don't get this it will probably break on you. Be gentle with it and it should last.

to be fair i did not expect to much with the price at just £5.99 but what a surprise well made with a solid feel to it took it straight out of the box and plugged it into my lumix FZ200 and hey presto it worked perfectly ,press the button down halfway for the auto focus then all the way to take the photo,simples! also you can lock the button for long exposier etc. a cracking buy at that price, highly recommend it.just a note for the person who had reviewed it at an earlier date and stated he bought it for HIS lumix FZ200 but there was no where to plug it in , if he reads his camera manual it tells you use the remote mic socket which is located on the left side of the body ,it is a dual function socket which you can use a mic or remote. hope it helps all those FZ200 owners.

It does exactly what it supposed to and it's easy to use :-)

As a (very) amateur astronomer with a moderate-sized Dobsonian mount telescope I wanted to have a go at a little astrophotography. I mounted my Olympus E-PM1 4/3 camera onto the telescope’s camera adapter, but found it tricky to capture an image without slightly moving the set up –the dreaded camera shake effect. In case this ‘masterpiece’ wasn’t going to give reasonable images I didn’t want to fork out about £50 for the fancy Olympus wired remote, so plumped for this third party wired remote - Pixel Wired Shutter Remote Control UC1 - at only £7.99: I didn’t expect too much of it or even if it really would be compatible.I am delighted to report that it is 100% compatible with the Olympus E-PM1, worked straight from the box & has proved perfect for taking photos without disturbing the focus or position of the camera/telescope set-up.

On the plus side the simplicity of this release is perfect and when working it does exactly what it should do without fuss or complication. Unfortunately my cable release stopped working after 10 months of occasional use and will now only release the shutter after several attempts. If I wiggle the cable joins it will work for couple of attempts so I'm confident it's an issue with the internal connections/wire.So, very disappointing. I've had remote shutter release cables from Pixel before without problems.**UPDATE** LG Shop replaced the faulty cable immediately and without quibble - the new cable works perfectly.
