Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote Control for Select DSLR Cameras
Customer Review: Deciding whether to buy this is a no brainer!
Summary: 5 Stars
Smaller than a tube of chapstick, this remote toggle is easy and fun. You don't have to worry about losing it, because it has an attachment to your camera photo strap, so it is always with you when you need it. This great little tool has worked great for me every time I have needed it, and it has been a fun way to take self portraits in different lights, with different settings - with camera mounted to a tripod of course. All of this has meant that I am able to self-teach my camera's many features.
It comes with a small battery that looks like a watch battery, etc. I guess I will be going to radio shack for a replacement when the time comes, but for now, it has been a fun little tool or toy that would make a great gift for that photographer in your life!
Customer Review: Works great for astrophotography
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this remote because I was getting interested in Astrophotography and other things with my camera and wanted a cheap way to make sure the camera wouldn't shake. This remote exceeded my expectations as not only does it allow you to have a 2 sec delay between initiating the shot, it also is a separate button to open and close the shutter, so I can press once and release to open and later press again to close the shutter. I don't have to hold down the button or anything like that. Maybe this is more a function of my camera, but I was glad that it worked that way.
Some people say that you can have to hold the remote right in front of the camera for it to work but I didn't have that problem, you can be on about a 45 degree angle and it will work.
Customer Review: I've loved it for years
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this remote for years...maybe 4 years...? I have the clip attached to my camera strap and it goes everywhere my camera goes. It's great, and it was one of the best (very small) investments I'd ever made for this camera. My husband and I go hiking and camping, and are capable of taking semi-candid photos with the use of this little remote, and our tripod. We set the camera up on the tripod (or a rock if we want to be quick), back away, and push the button with the remote in our hand. We've used it on the beach, in the mountains, in the campground, and for family pictures. It's a must buy in our book! I've had it for a long long time, and the battery JUST died. Hope that gives you an idea of how far the dollar goes with this. I love this thing!Customer Review: Don't forget you have it with you!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little remote. It just works for me. After reading the reviews for this little remote, I was convinced that I needed to get one.
The remote works well that I can get into the picture as well, rather than be the one taking the pictures all the time :) I haven't experienced any of the problems that some people say, such as the camera not responding to the remote in some angles, maybe they are using the remote with a super super wide lens.
All in all, this remote works a 100% for me, just don't forget that it's attached to your camera. When I first bought this remote, I kept forgeting that it was with me cause it was so small.
Have fun getting into the shots as well!!
Customer Review: Wireless Remote Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great device. There are many useful applications for this device. I use it because I draw and many times, I'm my own model when it comes to poses. This makes it easy for me to take photos of my self for drawing purposes(sounds weird, I know). Besides that I've been able to take professional photos (with my Canon Rebel XTi) of my family... with me in the photo. Once you set up your shot this remote focuses the camera and takes the picture at the touch of a button. It is also useful when you want to take a picture in low lighting where you dont any camera shake. You can set the camera on tripod, use your remote, and there will be absolutely no camera shake. I love this remote, I wish I bought it sooner.
