Works well...but, just a heads up for AEB users (Sony/S2)
I recently purchased a Rokinon 12mm lens for wider shots, when taking Real Estate photos and wanted to clean up my photo taking process a little. In addition to the new lens, I use a tripod and also AEB (Auto exposure bracketing), taking 3 shots at +/-2 Exposure Values. It is advised to use a remote trigger to do so, as that'll ensure the camera doesn't move between the 3 hots, causing blur.I saw this trigger pop up when I bought my lens and immediately thought it'd be perfect. As it stands it works, however, for my purposes, it doesn't work as CONSISTENTLY as I'd like. I'll explain:When you shoot AEB (Continuous Bracket) you hold down the shutter button, while the 3 shots are taken, and then you let go. Well, when I use this trigger, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not as bad as a 50/50 shot, but perhaps more like a 30% failure rate. When it doesn't work correctly, I have to go in camera, delete whatever images it managed to capture (1 or 2 shots, not 3) and shoot again. This is counter productive to my workflow and takes longer and more effort than just manually pressing and holding the shutter button on the camera and checking to see if the pics are sharp or not. I've had it for a few days and will continue to try it, maybe it'll work itself out??? I highly doubt it, but no harm in trying.Aside from the above mentioned issue, I actually do like the trigger. It's the perfect length and is SUPER lightweight, almost to the point of feeling uber cheap. BUT, that's actually good, because you don't want a heavy cable pulling on your micro USB port, as over time it will get damaged. Also, the partial press to focus works as advertised, although I am using a manual focus lens and don't need it. It's good to see that it does work, though, when I have shot with my other lens.Now, there IS an oddity with this trigger. It has a HOLD feature, where you press trigger and slide it up and it holds the shutter open. This is actually great for those photographers that use this style of shooting, HOWEVER, it is easy to trigger the hold all to easy. You can see from my pics where that mechanism is and just how easy it would, in theory, be to get into accidentally. My work around? I hold the trigger upside down and it never slides into HOLD mode.All in all, for the price I paid, the trigger works fairly well. Hopefully it'll work to the fullest extent I need it to for my Real Estate shoots, moving forward.

Hold functionality did not work
I bought this to take long exposures using the bulb mode on my camera Sony alpha 7R3.The button worked. However, the "hold" functionality did not work. Rather than taking one long exposure, it always took 2 quick ones: the first when I pressed the button and locked it in place, the second when I unlocked the button and it popped back out.Besides that, the price was right.

Sticks
May stick creating unwanted images if you are in a continuous shotting mode.

It Works!
This attached remote works great when taking macro shots with my Nikon D810. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t like wireless remotes. I lose them too easily. This works great for portraits and close up shots. I don’t use for landscapes because of the way I balance my long lens.

Does not work properly for Olympus E-M10 Mark II camera
When the remote shutter release is plugged into the Olympus multi-port, the Live View LCD screen brings up the USB transfer menu on a black background. Nothing can be seen through the camera's view finder. Therefore, it is impossible to make any camera adjustments prior to taking the shot. Pushing the remote button halfway down brings up the image through the lens, but it is very difficult to make camera adjustments while holding the button halfway. As soon as the button is released, the USB transfer menu returns. If you push the button all the way, the image is captured, but then the USB transfer menu reappears. You cannot view the acquired image without removing the remote release. The only way I could use this with a tripod was to frame/focus the image and make my desired settings AND THEN plug in the remote release to trigger the shutter. I do not know if other Olympus camera with the multi-port are similarly affected, but I suspect some may exhibit the same behavior. I went ahead and bought the original Olympus RM-UC1 remote cable release, and it works as it should on my EM-10 Mark II with no problems.

Half-press focus didn't work until I cleaned the unit.
On my Canon EOS R, the remote would fire the shutter on full press, but it would not focus on half-press. I removed the two screws holding the unit together, found three metal contacts. The first two are for the focus half-press, and the third is to fire the shutter. I was able to connect 1 and 2 with a screwdriver and the camera did focus. I didn't see anything between the contacts that would block a connection. I saturated a paper towel with paint thinner and wiped between all three contacts. After that, the remote tested ok on half press focus and full press shutter, so I reassembled the unit which now works fine.I would have given 5 stars if repair wasn't needed, but ultimately it works perfectly now, and it didn't cost a lot.

Easy to use remote shutter
Unlike the wireless or phone app remote controls, this wired remote plugs into a connector on camera and gives you a wired remote shutter that is easy to setup and use.

Excellent! Perfect for reducing camera shake… and when take astro-photo shots
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.

Button is mushy and imprecise. Buy a PixelPeeper remote instead.
The release button is mushy and has way too much travel between the focus and release positions to be used for precisely controlling the moment you take the picture. If you're OK with 'take a picture some time within the next second as I keep pressing the button' kind of shooting it's not a problem I suppose.I highly recommend you purchase a JJC/PixelPeeper remote instead (with the cable sticking at the other end, looking flatter and a bit more boxy) at the same price. Those give you excellent feeling for when you are about to take a picture.

One worked, one faulty
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.

Excellent tool
I bought this because I'd lost the previous one I had. Then this one turned up and I found the other one. So now I have two.Anyway; dead easy to use, a great thing to have when shooting Nikons from a tripod and was very useful in the Aussie outback doing 25-second exposures of a spectacular night sky! :0) The original one had got a bit 'sticky' when using on bulb setting but this was easy to counter just by positively moving the button back on completing the exposure. The new one doesn't have this stickiness. Great value for money.

Good purchase.
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.
