Digital camera Review: Great product.
Summary: 5 Stars
This remote control worked perfectly on my Olympus E-510. All you have to do is set the timer button on the left hand top of the camera to one of the last two settings and you are good to go. The first setting will trigger the button immediately and the second one takes 2 seconds. It is great for family portraits. The price was only $9.99, a bargain.Digital camera Review: Great remote!
Summary: 5 Stars
I prefer to shoot from a tripod over hand-held when needed, so this remote is a lifesaver. Setup on my Olympus E-620 was a bit tricky at first, but it works like a charm.Digital camera Review: Haven't got it to work well

We've tried new batteries in the remote and we've held it at every distance and angle, but its only worked once from about 6 inches away.Digital camera Review: I think it's waterproof!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Inexpensive, no burden to carry and it does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
My headline pretty much summarizes this product. Costing less than half either the Olympus wireless remote control or Olympus wired shutter release, this little remote control is small and lightweight enough to carry in your camera bag at all times. It worked flawlessly with my Olympus Evolt E-510 right out of the box. The camera's infrared sensor must, of course, be turned on for it to work and the remote control must be pointed at the sensor. Not having to rush to get in front of the camera before the self-timer trips the shutter is a luxury for those who want to photograph themselves alone or in a group. Great product at a great price but mine quit working after about 18 months, so I replaced it with the more expensive Olympus brand.
