Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to set up and use. Works with any camera with a remote sensor. Works via bluetooth.
Love love love. Surpassed all expectations. Provides the necessary cushion to complete the circuit. Only complaint i have is the range.
Great remote for canon cameras. Works well for macro photography. Can be used to enable video recording on a canon 90d.
Cons
The 700d model, marketed in north america as the rebel t5i, is not listed. Even now as i write this review a couple of weeks after initiating my return, there are three places on the product page where the list of cameras that are supported appears.
Highlights
Quality
I was really impressed with this product.
Good product works perfect with my canon
I recently found the remote, and decided to try it out with the 5d mark iv.
Unfortunately, i never used it with the camera because soon after i got a 5d mark iv, so i stopped using the xsi.
Price
So, it is a good remote control but the price could be a little lower.
Packaging/appearance
Very impressed with packaging and the bag it came in.
It worked right out of the box.
Competitiveness
Works as expected at a fraction of the cost of the manufacturer version
Works as intended and way cheaper than the canon model.
Used with my d7200 and d5 and got those inclusive family compositions that can be tricky when racing and using timed releases.
Awesome price for awesome remote, much cheaper than the name brand version
