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

I will not repeat what so many other reviewers have written, but I do want to add my 5-star vote to this nifty little device. I use it for astrophotography, and honestly I could not be happier. A couple of weeks ago I set up to photograph the sun (yes, with special, safe equipment!), and I found myself running outside every 10 minutes to snap a picture (my goal - capture the changes in the sun over the course of a day). Needless to say, that got quite tedious after a while. After a bit of research, I found this clever little timer and immediately ordered it. Two days later it arrived, and on the next sunny day I set it on my Canon T2i to snap pictures for me...all day long!!! I went out every so often to check on it...thinking it would eventually have some unforeseen error. But no, it worked flawlessly all day long and dutifully helped me capture a treasure trove of solar images. Again not to repeat others in detail, but to add my votes... What I LIKE about this device: - Easy to use; despite a "manual" that is in broken english, it's simple to set up - Lots of timer choices: frequency of shot, length of shot, etc., etc. - It WORKS! - GREAT value! The *simple* bulb accessory from Canon is 2x more expensive and does NO timing, you could buy this for just the bulb button alone, forget ever using the timer, and pocket the savings or go have a decent dinner out! What is NOT to like: - Only one problem: it inexplicably has no On/Off button! So...if you want to save on battery usage, you must pull them out, store them separately, then re-insert them when you are next in need of a timer. That said, the display on this device looks like a low power user (there is a backlight you can tun on and off if/when needed), so I'm willing to bet you can leave a fresh set of batteries in there for a long time with no issue. But, I dutifully pull mine out to maximize their life anyway. Great value, great functionality, and it WORKS! That's what I wanted, and that's what I got. P.S. By way of safety, let me emphasize... NEVER look at or take a picture of the sun without the PROPER equipment! At worst you can damage your eyes, and you surely will blow out the electronics in your camera. If this review sparks an interest in anyone, be sure to do some careful research on solar imaging. Amazon (and others) sells equipment necessary to do this safely!

I have always wanted to get into time-lapse photography, but never had the equipment for it. My Pentax K20D has a limited ability to take up to 100 pictures at set intervals, but this is nowhere near enough to make a proper time-lapse sequence. Recently, I read about the digital intervalometers that are now available, so I decided to try one out. The Neewer model looked to be just what I wanted/needed that would work with my Pentax DSLR. Now that I have used it a few times, I can say that the Neewer LCD Timer Shutter Release Remote Control is fantastic! It is simple to use and works just as advertised with my Pentax camera. I like that it is easy to program for intervals, delayed starts and even as a simple remote trigger. It has a long cord that makes it easier to use when plugged into your camera and is useful for fighting off the occasional ninja attacker, but it not long enough to use as a remote trigger for self-portraits or family portraits that you may want to be a part of. It even has a shutter lock that enables you to do bulb exposures without having to touch the camera itself while taking the picture. All in all, I consider this to be $20 well spent! Having said that, I do have a couple or three suggestions for Neewwer future models: 1. Add an On/Off switch! Having to take the batteries out to turn it off is not only a hassle, but when I put the remote control away, I have to make sure the batteries don't get lost or misplaced. 2. As with most photographic equipment, the User's Manual leaves much to be desired. Surely there are qualified people around who can write decent owner's manuals for all of these photographic manufacturers. In this, Neewer is no more an offender than any of the camera manufacturers. 3. As a couple of other reviewers noted, the backlight for the panel is somewhat weak. It simply was too dim to light my campsite, or even to read by in the dark. Because of this, what I thought was a recipe for the perfect camping dish turned out to be . . . well, I'm not going to be held responsible for all the hospital bills!

I hope you will forgive my ignorance about this timer. I bought this for my adult son when he purchased a new DSLR and other equipment and he is the one who has been using it. I asked him how he liked it and he was very enthusiastic about it. He says that this Neewer LCD Timer Shutter Release Remote Control works exactly as it should and he has been able to get some great results because of it. I have attached the very first time lapse he made using this device. He has since gone on to use it for many other things and likes it. The reason he asked me to remove a star is because it has no off button and therefore, the batteries drain much more quickly than if he could turn the device off and on. I find that a little odd myself. He says otherwise, the device is worth the price and is not super complicated to use even for first timers.

First, let me admit that I purchased this product as a used product at a fraction of what the new cost was from a seller on Amazon, so I haven't spent what others may have spent new on this product, but I am 100% satisfied with my used purchase from Amazon. The product is fully functional, arrived in very good condition (minus a few minor scratches on the LCD screen), and arrived to me very quickly. Now that that is out of the way - this is actually a really nice shutter release. It feels very comfortable in my hands and really exceeded my expectations. It does operate off two triple A batteries, but the cool thing is you don't have to have the batteries in for it to work. This little device can operate your shutter without the batteries. I believe the batteries are required if you need the backlight on the LCD screen, or if you want the audible beeps while taking a long exposure, etc. Yes- I did say audible beeps. This little gadget will beep every second it is counting if you want it too. Which may not be so bad for a 10 to 15 second exposure, but if you are planning to use this for minutes or hours, I would recommend turning that feature off since it allows you to turn the beeps off. I have the Neewer EZa-C1 and it plugged right into a Canon T5i with no problems at all. The Bad: This device is very light weight which isn't bad at all, but it's bad because that means you probably want to be extra careful not to allow it to slip from you hand while taking a photo. It doesn't feel cheaply made, but it feels really light weight. I don't know it if it could take a drop hitting concrete, stone rocks, etc. Try not to drop it and you should be pretty well okay with it, What I like the most about it: Keep in mind that I have only this little gadget for less than 24 hours, but what I like about it is the long cord (900 mm per the manual), the fact that I can use it without batteries if needed, the fact that the LCD has a backlight if you are taking a night time exposure, the fact that when you press up the shutter button it has a lock option to keep it open as long as you like while on bulb mode, and the fact that it doesn't take up too much space in my camera bag. Another cool little feature is that this shutter release has a little light in the top right corner that blinks red while taking a photo. So if you are out using it at night and sit it down it make it a little easier to know where it is when you come back to it. The batteries will need to be in for this feature to properly operate. Overall- It's a great little gadget to have if you are planning to get into long exposure photography or you are already into long exposure photograhy and are currently using the timer on your camera instead of this device. I am fairly new to long exposure photography, but I sure am glad I have this little device in my camera bag.

I bought this for use with an XSi as I want to try some time-lapse photography without spending a huge amount of money in the process... I'm not sure if this is something I'll "get into" in a big way. The device itself is pretty intuitive to set-up and use, in fact once I played around with it and figured it out I looked at the manual to see if I'd missed anything, and put it down thinking that if I'd gone to the manual first, I probably would have been confused as to how to operate it! LOL! I haven't had the time to go out and take a time-lapse sequence yet - land/cloud/starscapes are my area of interest - but I did set my camera on my desk beside my computer the other evening with the timer plugged in, and let it take photos at varying intervals all night; I think it was running for 5hrs all told and it didn't miss a beat. I used it on Manual and Bulb without a problem; on Aperture and Shutter Priority it worked like a charm, activating the autofocus each time prior to the shot being taken. The following should be of interest to those who want to utilize the Mirror Lock-Up ability of the XSi; if you do so with this timer, you will need to "take" two shots per photo needed for your sequence. This is because Mirror Lock-Up on the XSi is a two-stage process, the first press of the shutter lifts the mirror out of the way and locks it into position, and the second press actually takes the photo and drops the mirror back down ready for the next cycle. So, if you want to take a shot every 10 seconds with Mirror Lock-Up, you'll need to program the timer to take 1 shot every 5 seconds. In fact I've just bought a 7D and the Mirror Lock-Up is exactly the same as on the XSi, so I'm assuming this is standard across the board for Canon cameras; not sure about Nikon etc. For something this inexpensive the build quality is perfectly acceptable; I tend to "baby" my equipment and would expect to get a reasonable amount of use out of the product. Yes, the lack of an On/Off switch is something of an annoyance, but really, when it's not being used all that's being powered is the LCD display, and a couple of AAA's have got to be good for a year or so! LOL! Based on the fact that the timer works flawlessly, and its low price, this is an easy 5 Star recommendation!

To start off, I've been a hobbyist photographer for about 15 years. I'm always looking for little upgrades and gadgets that will help improve my photography and give me the option to customize my photos even further. I picked this shutter remote control up mainly to help with doing time lapses for my Canon 70D and my Canon T6i. I had previously used my cell phone and GoPro to do time lapses but wanted the flexibility and resolution that a DSLR offers. I'll break my review down into a list of Pros and Cons and then provide an overall summary at the end: -- Lots of customizable options: set the exposure time, delay to shoot, interval between shots and number of shots to take. -- Good build quality, feels very durable -- This remote is extremely simple to use (will take about 2 minutes to learn) -- Cheap for what you get! Less than $20! A great value and a must-add to your camera bag Cons: -- No on/off button, so I usually just take the batteries out when I'm done using it. This has turned out to be an awesome time lapse photography tool. Works very well both in full auto and manual mode for those special sequences. It is also excellent when the camera is on a telescope or otherwise where even the slight jiggling from pressing the shutter button or touching the camera would spoil the time exposure photograph. I definitely recommend picking this up and adding it to your photography arsenal.

I decided to take a chance on this timer/remote switch since it is cheaper than the Canon brand remote switch and has the added plus of the intervalometer, saving me from having to connect my camera to my computer for time lapse photography or star trails. It lets you select the interval between shots, how long the shutter is open, and a delay before it starts snapping pictures. Each setting can be up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. That's nearly 4 days, 4 hours for each setting. If you want shots less than 1 second, you set the timer to 1 second and your camera to M mode and select shutter speed there; if you want to do long exposures, you set the camera to BULB mode and tell the timer how long you want the shutter open. I do have to say that the instructions are pretty terrible and with only a few exceptions, you might do better to just toss them from the start. It seems like instructions for the people writing the instruction book managed to get printed, but that doesn't really distract from the product. It's very easy to figure out and set up the timer, delay, shutter speed, etc. You don't need to install batteries if you just want to use this as a remote shutter release, but it uses 2 AAA batteries for full capabilities, and they will last a really long time. I set up my camera in front of my oven the other day while baking bread and made a pretty good time lapse movie taking a picture every 30 seconds over the course of an hour. The timer was spot on, with 122 pictures taken in 61 minutes. One thing to note, it is a little bigger than I was expecting. It is probably about 6 inches long and I was expecting something about half that size. I'm very impressed with the quality, especially considering the low price.

I just received mine and I already started a return - granted I also ordered another in hopes it won't have the same issues. My problems are that the shutter release button has wear on it, not as much as one of the photos from the other review shows but enough, the rear battery cover does not snap in or stay on (you have to tape it on), and the front LCD screen is scratched all over. I could live with the shutter release button wear and scratches on the screen but I don't feel that a $20 item should need tape to hold on a battery cover within minutes of receiving it. Aside from the extremely poor build quality, the functions of this remote are intuitive and, most importantly, they work. I did not even read the instruction manual and within a few minutes of tinkering I understand all the functions. Some reviews noted issues with the LCD screen being to bright - I find this unfounded. It does glow but not hardly as bright as the other reviews would have you think, furthermore the light is not always on so this is really a non-issue. As far as the power button situation, other reviews are correct that this remote does not have an off button. Instead, you are supposed to leave it on with a little information on the display as possible (I managed this by scrolling to the left (music note option) and letting it sit for a few seconds. The manual itself provides this insight on page 06 (I wanted to make sure there wasn't a way to hold down a button to have it turn off): "When EZa is not in use: The EZa is not equipped with an off switch. To reduce the drain on the batteries when the EZa is not in use, end shooting and check that the "TIMER ACTIVE" (6), "SET" (7), and "RELEASE" (8) indicators are not displayed. The drain on the batteries increases when these indicators are flashing." Hope this review helped and I will report back when I get my replacement remote.

Me resulto muy bueno este temporizador para usarlo en tiempo de mínimo 1 segundo, muy practico y de fácil uso, su calidad y precio es bueno su cable es grueso y da confianza que no se troza rápido, lo utilizo en la T2i, T5i y la 80D sin problema, el único inconveniente es que no tiene botón de apagado/encendido y prende cuando se le ponen las baterías, en general muy buen producto.

Nothing overcomplicated with this well made LCD Timer & shutter button devise, it's perfect for selfies, portraits, landscapes, night shooting, etc & very useful when using a tripod & a telephoto lens for those 'extreme' long shots! The lower price range, like all Neewer products that I own or seen, doesn't reflect the quality of these products that cost more than triple in factory Brand names, for little advantage. Do I recommend this very handy device, you bet!

El intervalometro EZa-C1 es compatible como remplazo del original de Canon (RS-60E3) si tienes duda si es compatible con tu equipo puedes buscar en internet el intervalometro original de tu equipo y si coincide con el RS-60E3 entonces puedes ocupar este con toda confianza. La configuración es muy sencilla y funcional. No tiene interruptor de encendido apagado (mal) por lo que deberás remover las baterias para consevar energía cuando no esté en uso.

Annoyingly Canon changed their pin configuration for the shutter release from my previous DSLR to the new mirrorless camera. Neewer shutter release was a great price and works a treat for nighttime photography or for family photos where you, the photographer, need to get into the photo. Has a longish cord for that.

perfect for my needs,recommend it!
