There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
With the 5Dii at least, this only works in self-timer mode; you have to push the AF/Drive button, then roll the thumbwheel over two clicks right to self-timer mode. Although normally you have two choices -regular ten second timer or 2-second timer- when you use the remote, you only get the two second delay no matter which icon is showing, which makes sense, really. This remote also works as a bulb mode start and stop shutter release; first click opens the shutter after a 2 second delay, second click closes it, and the LCD counts up the seconds of the exposure. Thanks to the other reviewer for mentioning that!
Nifty, cheap, tiny, works fine so far. I doubt it has much range, but who really cares? This is just infrared, for when you're a few feet away at most, and it only works from the front where the sensor is unless you bounce off a mirror or something, which can be done. If you need longer range you need RF stuff, lots pricier. For most people and general uses, this seems like it'll do just fine. Perfect for group photos and fine for what I'm mostly doing, using it as a remote release for optimal clarity in the studio.
However, the ad copy hype implies that you can use it to take a picture at the exact moment you want to, and this it does not actually seem able to do, at least not with the 5Dii. You will get a 2-second delay whether you like it or not; there doesn't seem to be a way around that. Fine for my purposes, but it's not simply an instant shutter release as far as I can tell, so one star off for that.
The manual that came with it is impressively thick for a one-button, one-function device, but annoyingly does not list the 5D Mark II as being compatible, though it mentions seemingly every other Canon camera. The manual does not inform you that it works as a bulb release, but it does give you the scant information it presents in seven languages, so that's something. Waste of paper!
You've probably found the best cheapest simple one-button remote around. If you have eight bucks left over from buying your other gear, give it a go!

Having recently purchased the Amazon Basics Wireless Remote Control for my Nikon D5500, I'm happy to share my experience. As someone who values practicality and affordability, this remote control has become a valuable addition to my photography kit.
Pros:
Affordability: Let's face it, the original Nikon remote can be quite expensive. This Amazon Basics option offers significant cost savings, making it a budget-conscious choice for hobbyists or occasional photographers.
Compatibility: As advertised, the remote worked seamlessly with my Nikon D5500 and I haven't encountered any compatibility issues.
Functionality: The remote offers basic shutter release functionality, perfect for capturing self-portraits, group photos, or wildlife shots where minimizing camera shake is crucial.
Simplicity: The design is straightforward, with a single button for shutter release. This no-frills approach makes it easy to use and avoids confusion, especially for beginners.
Overall:
For Nikon D5500 users seeking a budget-friendly and functional wireless shutter release, the Amazon Basics remote is a solid option. It delivers the core functionality at a fraction of the cost, making it a great value for casual photographers or those starting their photography journey. If you require advanced features or a more premium build quality, you might want to consider other options.
