JJC Shutter Release Cable Remote Cord for Olympus OM-D E-M1X,OM SYSTEM OM-1, OM-5, OM-5III, E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III, E-M5 Mark III Mirrorless Camera - Replaces Olympus RM-CB2 Shutter Cable

I had the business end of my last remote shutter release drop into the Surrey Quays Dock, so no way I was ever getting that one back! I bought this as I had one previously and the trigger is moulded on to the cable - much more secure. It works exactly as it should, and an added benefit is that you can lock the shutter open, ideal for long exposures.

I have tested this with my Olympus OMD EM1 Mark ii and it works flawlessly. I can do things I can do with the main button on the camera. It allows half-pressing to focus and fully press the button to take the photo. It also allows locking the focus by sliding the button. the built quality is good but time will tell how long it will last.

While this made of fairly thin and flimsy plastic, it works. The button has a relatively clear and positive action that lets you distinguish between a half-press (to focus) or full press to fire the shutter.If you just want a cheap cable release for occasional tripod shots, this is not a bad option.

A well made item that works perfectly on my camera. Cable is just the right length and the release button has good feel. Great value.

Cheap and cheerful but does the job so it is fine

Cheaply built so unsure how long it will last. If you try to take a shoot, from pressing it all the way down, there is around half a second to a second delay. However, if you have it half pressed, then a full press will provide an instant shot - this is even if you seperate the autofocus from the shutter button. However this would be annoying if using ProCapture

Don't get me wrong, if you want a cheap remote control, then this works a treat. It works as you would expect, half press for focus, full press to take photo, you can also lock it for the Bulb setting. Please be aware the quality of the plastic is very poor and I can't see it lasting very long. I can't recommend this remote unless you want one for a project you only want to do once.

I bought this for my OM 5 camera, it fits well and is easy to use. The cable length is great and allows me to move around freely. Great buy for the money.
