Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Does what it is supposed to, but cable is on the filmsy side, even for a 3rd party unit. Nikon way overdoes it, but Zeikos underdoes it. Otherwise this functions property, and at $-$ you might as well buy 2-3 to have a spare when it inevitably fails,

Cheap enough to have one in each camera bag! So far works as well as my Nikon corded remote. Actually better as the cable is lighter weight and more flexible. Only better thing from a vibration standpoint is wireless, but I'm not finding that as convenient.

This remote is lightweight, compact, and feels good in the hand. The trigger button is appropriately sized, well placed, and has a positive feel. The cord is about 4 feet long - more than enough. There's a simple slider to hold the button down for bulb exposures, and there's "half-press" functionality for AF activation. I've had no issues. Durability remains to be seen, but for the price I bought two just to have a backup on hand. Recommended.

For my type of photography (long exposure and macro work), all I needed was a way to trigger the shutter without touching the camera. That's exactly what this does and it works beautifully. I have used this for several months now and it performs perfectly every time. And given the low price, I don't have to worry about it when I'm working in foul weather or near water.

If you need more functionality - like to adjust exposure settings or run multiple flashes - then you will need one of the more expensive options. But if all you need is to fire the shutter remotely, then I can't see how you could do better than this. I gave it five stars, because it simply does what it was designed to do and does so at a great price.

could not ask for more. works and looks like the nikon one. i hear alot of people say they wish the cord was as long as the nikon one but mine is longer. does what its supposed to for half the price.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

It seems to work properly with my Nikon F100 - the half-press (focus) and full-press (shoot) is fairly distinct and easy to control. There's not much to it and it's inexpensive. I have no idea why it needs so many pins...

It would be nicer with a longer cord, but it certainly seems worth the price. I wouldn't have paid much more, but I'm glad to have a remote.

Just works, plug it in, screw the cap, and shot. The best accessory for under $10 for a nikon camera.

Use on my d200 and d300. Is a replacement for my OEM nikon. Of course it's cheap feeling, it's [$]!!! Works perfect, cord is not too long where you would trip over it, ie the nikon one. If and when it dies I would buy another in a heartbeat. Unless it dies within a month or two I would buy 2 more at a time. Doesnt hurt my feelings when I drop it into the lake I'm shooting.

it is so inexpensive compared to the Nikon's alternative, i gave it a try on my D300S. It works, I would recommend to anyone needing to fire the shutter while the camera is on a tripod.

Doesn't work on my F100 no matter what I do.

Works just like its supposed to. I wish the cord was just a tad longer.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Remote switch was used for photographing still lifes and fireworks. It worked well in both situations. Easily attached to camera and locked in place with the screw in lock.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Great product for the price. Much smaller then I expected it to be which is good.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Very useful. It is a simple mechanical system.
It should last a awhile.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Is very easy to use, very practice and confortable.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Can't go wrong with the price and it works perfectly.

Comments about Zeikos ZE-RMC30 Remote Switch:

Make no mistake, this switch delivers well constructed reliability at unbelievable low price. The fit and connections of the 10 pin connecter is flawless unlike some competitors and the switch although low Tec is very proven and reliable. If it isn't broke don't fix it. Just because you can miniaturize electronic components does not mean you have to. I have had two of the switches and am very satisfied with the performance. I am sure I would still be using the first switch if it did not meet a timely end at the tread of a Michelin tire.

Definitely consumer grade product but you can wear out several of these for the cost of the basic OEM cable. Perfect for macro work or when camera is tethered to a tripod.
