Neewer LCD Timer Shutter Release Remote Control for Canon 700D/T5i, 650D/T4i, 550D/T2i, 500D/T1i, 350D/XT, 400D/XTi, 1000D/XS, 450D/XSi, 60D, 100D, and Pentax

This little timer is great for the price; the interface is a little strange at first, but once you get used to it, you won't have any problems using it. br>br>I had previously purchased a Canon corded remote shutter release, which worked well until the cable became frayed and stopped working due to the design flaws. This new remote is much more convenient for me because it has all of the same functions as the old one, plus it also has a timer. The build quality is comparable to that of a Canon, but it is less expensive. The official remote release can be found here. br>br>Setup is simple; you can control the following: br>br>Delay is a term used to describe the amount of time it takes for something to happen. The time between the first press of the shutter button and the first release of the shutter. After releasing the controller, this is useful for allowing the camera to become completely still before taking the shot. The time span is from 0 seconds to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, with one second increments. br>br>Exposure is a term that is used to describe the amount of time that a person is exposed to something. The length of the exposure is determined by how long the shutter is kept open. This allows you to take longer exposures than the camera allows by default, from 0 seconds to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds in one second increments. Interval - br>br> Is the amount of time between the beginning of one frame and the beginning of the next. It's a little confusing because it includes the exposure time, and it's not just the time between close and open, but the entire time between frames. If this value is less than the exposure, it appears that continuous shooting is the result. Number - br>br> The number of exposures can range from 1 to 399, or they can be unlimited. br>br>Chime - Activate or deactivate the device's chime. br>br>Once the start button is pressed, all of the above variables are used. Set Delay 15", Exposure 0, Interval 0, Number 1 if you want to take a single shot 15 seconds after pressing the button with the camera's current exposure. Set Delay 0, Exposure 60", Interval 60", Number 2 if you want to take two consecutive 60 second exposures right after the press. Set Delay 0, Exposure 0, Interval 5'0", Number 288 if you want to take a time lapse with camera settings over 24 hours every 5 minutes. Change the interval to 0'1" and set Number to infinite if you want to take a time lapse with a shot every second. You'll have to manually stop the process when you're finished. A subtle backlight is present on the device. br>br> It's subtle in that it's not as bright as many common LEDs these days, but it's bright enough that you can easily adjust the settings in the dark. In almost every case, the backlight isn't bright enough to affect your exposure. After the last button press, the backlight will remain on for 6 seconds. br>br>The settings can be locked to prevent them from being changed by accident. br>br>The fact that this device cannot be turned off is my first annoyance with it. The device will turn on once the batteries have been installed. Perhaps it makes no difference, but it bothers me, and I despise having to put it away. Despite the fact that I put it away with new batteries a week ago, the batter low indicator is still not showing. Still, I've removed the batteries and am storing them separately so that they'll be ready to use when the time comes. There's nothing more aggravating than discovering dead batteries with no spares after traveling for hours to get away from the city lights and photograph the night sky. br>br>The second annoyance is that I ordered the incorrect model the first time. While this is not a flaw in the device, you should be aware that there are seven different models of the same device, depending on which connector your camera uses. Initially, I ordered the C1, which is compatible with my Canon 60D but not the 5DMkIII. Unfortunately, I discovered this after traveling for hours in order to get away from the city lights and photograph the night sky. They couldn't connect because I had mountain biked for an entire day on dirt roads to get away from city lights with a camera in one hand and a remote in the other with no way to take the shot. Even so, I enjoyed the view but was unable to capture it because 30 seconds is insufficient.

C1, C2, N1, N3, S1, and OP12 connectors are all included. br> Because the cord is a bit of a pain to deal with and there's no easy way to wrap it up, I'd recommend picking up a few of these to solve this and other similar issues 100 times over. These cable wraps are simple to use and can be reused over and over again. Make sure to get wraps that are at least 8 inches long, such as these.

I purchased three of these from this exact listing and am now finished. The first one lasted 19 months, during which time I explored the Rockies and took a lot of abuse. It took 15 months for the second one to finish. The third one lasted three and a half months and required significantly less maintenance than the previous two. br>br>The issue is with the cord; it breaks, and unless you're an electrician, there's nothing you can do about it. I'll give someone else a chance and hope for the best.

My only gripe is with the lighting. This intervalometer has proven to be extremely helpful. I've been using it to take long exposures at set intervals with a specific number of shots since I figured out how all the modes work, and the delay option allows the camera to stop moving before taking pictures once I figured out how they all work. I simply set up the intervalometer for the task at hand, press the start timer button, and walk away while it takes photos for me. This device is extremely useful! It also has the ability to press and hold the shutter button, as well as a lock that prevents you from having to do so. Overall, I believe this was a wise investment. Almost every product I've purchased from Neewer has exceeded my expectations. The LCD light does not stay on long enough, which is my only complaint. It only illuminates for 10 seconds, which is insufficient for me to set up in the dark. It would be much better if it stayed on for 30 seconds.

With my Canon, this camera timer is fantastic! The cable connects directly to my camera, allowing me to use the remote to control the settings. This allows me to set the timer while away from the camera, and it can be set anywhere from 1 second to hours ahead of time, as well as any interval in between. Much better than the traditional timers of 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and 10 seconds. This gives me plenty of time to get everyone ready for non-blurry photos.

Please accept my apologies for my lack of knowledge regarding this timer. When my adult son bought a new DSLR and other equipment, I bought this for him, and he has been the one who has used it. When I asked him how he liked it, he expressed his delight. He claims that the Neewer LCD Timer Shutter Release Remote Control performs as expected and that he has been able to achieve excellent results as a result of it. I've attached his first time lapse with this device, which he's since used for a variety of purposes and enjoys. He requested that I take away a star because the device lacks an off button, causing the batteries to drain much faster than if he could turn it off and on. That strikes me as a bit strange. He claims that the device is worth the money and that it is not overly difficult to operate, even for novices.

There is no way to turn the device off. Everything is in order. With my Canon T3i, it was a breeze to use. If there was an off switch, I would have given it a five-star rating. To turn it off, you must take out the batteries. Aside from that, it's fantastic, and I'm glad I purchased it. For astrophotography, I use it in conjunction with a star tracker.

The only reason it gets four stars is that you have to remove the batteries every time you use it (and lose any settings you've programmed). I'll admit that it's a little annoying, and an on/off button would have been relatively easy (I'd think) to incorporate into the design. I've had it for nearly a year and the original batteries are still working fine. It's easy to pick up and use, and it comes in handy for a variety of tasks. I set this up with my camera and drove away from sites, allowing it to "do its thing" until I returned to collect my finds. One of those times is depicted in the photo I've included. It's become second nature to me to set it up each time I use it, and it's quick and easy enough that it hasn't been a deal breaker with this item.

Use this on a T2I to help with steady shots when using a tripod. All of the timers, time lapses, and other features are functional. The camera used is a Canon T2I. As with an iPhone charger, the end began to come loose at the unit. I hot glued it to extend its life by a few years, but I don't use it very often.
