Works good but it does have a problem firing sometimes while it’s hanging off the side of my camera because something else is on the hot shoe.

this does exactly what the product is supposed to do you hook it up, push the button and it takes a picture the only real thing that i noticed is that it does go through batteries fast so if your getting this for everyday use you may be paying more for this than a more expensive one in the long run in buying batteries alone but they may all do the same so check other reviews on other products. all in all i am satisfied with my purchase.

This remote is GREAT. Works like a charm, even through walls! One thing to note, it won’t work unless the transmitter’s antenna is FULLY extended. I believe this may have been one of the problems with a few bad reviews that I read. No problems with mine, Highly recommend it…

I got this as a replacement for my Canon remote RC-1, which was great, but I finally lost it after 10 years of service spanning many Canon bodies and tens of thousands of pictures. I went on Amazon looking to buy another RC-1, or RC-6, but then I got interested in the low cost RF modules. The the infrared remotes have a few drawbacks, namely distance, and not being able to get the focus remotely. I was skeptical upon ordering but the cost was not too bad. The description could be updated as it does not indicate that it would work for the T1i/T2i, and it does so without a hitch.
I took it out of the decent packaging, and immediately put it together without even looking at the instructions. It is very simple to put together. Basically put the batteries in. Plug your receiver into the side of the camera with the supplied cable. Turn camera on, and your ready to go. The Button has a great feel to it, you can with confidence get the half press to focus, which gives you a nice green LED on both the receiver and sending unit. Upon a full plunge you get Red LEDs on both receiver and sending unit. You do not need to be in any special mode for the remote to work, unlike with the infrared models (ie. RC-1,5,6 etc). The antenna does not need to be extended for close range 50 feet or less. With the antenna up, I was able to get 165 feet and it was still firing. So it has impressive range on the set of batteries it came with. I might replace them with some lithium for longer life though. The sender has one of those odd ball short stubby batteries (23A). They are not hard to find, but I recommend keeping a spare. Also the LEDs on the receiver are not visible past about 15 feet or so in full sunlight. I was able to hear my “beep” from the camera out to about 100 feet. Beyond that your just going to have to hope, or be in a lower light situation to get verification the shot went off. I also did all of my testing with the receiver unit hanging off the side. I will move the receiver unit to a flash bracket later, but it works fine in a pinch dangling off the side. It did not seem to diminish the distance it operates in, and does not need the shoe for operation. I think the biggest drawback is that the button on the sending unit is probably a bit to easy to push if it is being stored in your gear bag, I can easily see that nice battery getting drained. My solution is to store the battery in with a piece of paper covering one side of the battery, so that the battery won’t get lost or drained. The build is not super solid, but not junky either, the channel buttons if you happened to need to change them are readily accessible. But for the price it is an excellent deal.
It will be nice to be able to get into the vacation pictures now with out that awkward 2 second delay I had with the infrared, and being able to get it to work with group shots and the 50mm prime lens. IT does have a timer mode if you find a need.

Although it seems a little cheap I am ok with it as the Canon version is considerably more.
Pros: Portable, inexpensive, works good
Cons: Transmitter uses 123 battery (Why?), no on/off switch on transmitter – careful how you store or unit will be dead (learned this the hard way).
Overall I recommend.
