I think it's waterproof! [Posted on 2008-08-18]
I bought this for an Olympus e-510 and it has worked great. It also worked immediately for my brother's Rebel XTi.
Aside from what it is supposed to do, I recently had this remote in a non-waterproof pouch in an extremely heavy rainstorm. The remote and fiber cloths in the pouch were very very wet. I didn't try to use it right away but it did work the next day.
EDIT: The remote has stopped working. Maybe the moisture finally screwed it up. I'm somewhat disappointed but it's ok. I found that my RM-2 remote from my old Olympus C770 UZ WORKS W/ MY e-510! So I guess I don't need to buy a new one.
You get what you pay for.. [Posted on 2008-09-06]
The remote worked perfectly For about a month then it completely died.
I'm getting another, but I'm going to pay a little more and get a higher quality product this time.
Sorry Opteka, I'm just not impressed with yours.
Great after I got one that worked [Posted on 2008-09-24]
The first remote sent me didn't work. When I emailed 47th Street Photo's support they sent me a new remote that works very well. Good prompt service. 5 stars if only it worked the first time.
The worst remote ever made [Posted on 2008-11-02]
I was VERY disappointed with this remote. it came with the most awful set of instructions, if you could even call it that! It is cheaply made, very flimsy, and a real piece of junk. If you read this review, save yourself a lot of aggravation and money and look for another remote!!!
Opteka Wireless Remote for Olympus E-500 [Posted on 2008-11-16]
One needs to play a lot with it to use all the power of the Opteka but, if you have a DSR, you can figure it out. The instructions suck rocks and that is a huge but singular deficiency. Pull the plastic tab to connect the battery and this remote shutter release is ready to go.
Fire from the rather narrow front window of the E-500 and it takes a series of pictures that make me smile from ear to ear.
