Over the winter I've started to really hate having to click the shutter release, run and pose in 10 seconds, then run back, check the photo and do it all over again. It's cold and takes ages to get 5 shots, I need a remote and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for finding some good ones.
I have a Canon 400D.
Looking on eBay they range from around £3 to £15 and so I was wondering what the difference is, I know some of them are wireless but even the wireless ones range in price.
If you aren't going to be much more than 15 feet or so from the camera, the Canon RC-1 remote is a very good choice. It is an infrared remote, just like for your TV. It has instant release, or a 2 second delay. It will operate the camera in Bulb mode. Cost is about US $25, or probably 18-20 pounds sterling.
The radio frequency remotes on Ebay also work well, with greater range than you can get from an IR remote. There is a corded section with the receiver that acts as a release by itself, and also the wireless trigger. About the same price as the Canon IR unit. They are better than the Canon, or any other IR remote, outdoors in sunlight.
