Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon/Pentax/Contax/Samsung
Whether you are shooting in the studio or outdoors, the Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon, Pentax, Contax, Samsung & Sigma provides photographers with a simple way to control exposures and an easy-to use-tool to create more "keepers". The device is larger and more comfortable to use than many other remote devices, with a thick, sturdy cord.
The unit provides functionality such as: autofocusing, continuous shooting or single image capture and long time exposures. Since you can trigger exposures without touching the camera you will capture clear, blur-free images. The unit requires no batteries - it draws its power from the camera.
The Wired Remote Switch is a huge asset to keep in your studio or gear bag. This particular wired switch uses a cable that's 2.8' (86 cm) long, and is compatible with cameras that have a sub-mini connection, i.e. Canon EOS Digital Rebel series, 60D, PowerShot G1 X & G12, Contax N and 645, Hasselblad H series, Pentax K and DS and Samsung GX and NX series DSLRs.

I purchased the Wimberly WH200 Version II and OBEN CT-2420 carbon fibor tripod, 26 # capacity. This is a perfect companion to eliminating any vibration that causes me to lose that perfect shot with my 600mm canon lense.

Comments about Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon/Pentax/Contax/Samsung:
I use this for light painting photography and anything else that would require it. It works just like the Canon remote, expect the branding and design. Just because it's cheaper doesn't necessarily mean that its not good, it is! It does the job at a much cheaper price and the length of the cord is good too! It does exactly what it was made to do.

Comments about Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon/Pentax/Contax/Samsung:
This switch works perfectly with my Canon 60D. It seems to be well made. The jack fits the camera socket well - not too loose. The cord is an adequate length. Overall I am very pleased with it. The best part, is that it is good quality at a reasonable price.

Comments about Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon/Pentax/Contax/Samsung:
If you need to take multiple pictures without touching or moving the camera even the slightest little bit, then this remote shutter release will make you oh so happy. Plug it in and it works. It's even got a hold feature for manual bulb exposures. It's so cheap, just get one even if you only plan on using it once.
