Product Description

Wireless RF (radio frequency) remote control features maximum operating range 100m. Compared to an infrared (IR) remote control, it allows you to operate the shutter from either direction / angle. It supports unique coding for anti-interference and avoiding wrong operation. 3 operations modes: At W mode, the receiver is active, you can use the transmitter to control the shutter or focus. At O mode, the receiver will be a normal remote switch, and it will not consume any power. At L mode, the receiver will lock the shutter for long exposure.

Customer Reviews

WR-A100 Wireless Remote
I have the Canon 50D and was looking for a remote for it. I came across this product and read great reviews about it, so I ordered one. It came a day earlier than the estimate delivery date, and it was well packaged. The battery was fully charged on my unit, so I was able to get a couple of test shot immediately. It worked flawlessly, what else can I say.

Good, basic does as it says on the box
The wireless remote was lost in the parcel service between USA and UK because Parcelforce had to collect VAT and made a larger charge for them collecting it - so add £23. Post Office traced it and Parcelforce clerk sorted problem for me. The transmitter has US plug so off to Tesco for adapter - although not needed immediately because the transmitter arrived fully charged with both units functioning. Worked and then seemed not to work...! But that was my 20D not firing due to me not focussing. Once twigged, had good fun shooting off from another room [Er.. no, no-one else in house..]. Am looking forward to using it for nature shots.

Good stuff!
I haven't been able to use it too much yet, but overall it's a great product that works really well, so I am pleased! Was a little surprised at the bulkiness of it, but with the alternative being the Canon remote for the 40D costing over $1000 NZD I am more than happy with this version!
