Works well, that's all I require.

If you're looking for a wired shutter release I would not hesitate in recommending this product. Construction and finish on this is very professional. The plastic looks and feels very durable no creaks or flimsy plastic feel. The cord is approximately 36 inches long which is enough for what I need it for. Have used it several times since purchase and have not had a single problem. Very satisfied with this product.

I was a little skeptical when I received the remote. Felt very cheaply made. The remote works well except sometimes when I am shooting macro shots the shutter lock button will get stuck. Very frustrating but overall I am happy with the product.

Usefull

The bottom line, the silver part of the plug stayed in the camera (OMD-EM5) after I pulled the plug out. Electronically it worked when it was in, half press, full and hold. But the very first time I plugged it in, it fell apart. It was plugged to the camera in the correct orientation (not upside-down). I put it back together and tried again (for the life of me I don't know why I thought it would work the second time) but same result, silver part of the plug wouldn't come out with the rest of the cable, and that's with extra care to keep the thing together. Amazon took it back, excellent customer service as always from them. I am thankful it fell apart right away instead of waiting till the return period was over. Maybe it was just a bad one.
