More convenient and cheaper as it gets: The day before yesterday ordered, delivered yesterday. Fernauslöser unpacked, connected to the 5DMKII (connection is mixed up and sits reliably) camera on the tripod and off you go. For longer exposures of this remote trigger is not only practical, but a must, thus avoiding camera touches camera shake. In addition, the remote release increases with its lockable release button the maximum exposure time of each camera wherever lengths. Needless to say, is that the remote release offers the full functionality of the camera's own timer, including focusing on half-pressed button.
The remote trigger with his almost 1m long cable makes despite its plastic housing a stable and sophisticated look, which can be operated reliably lockable knob and intuitive with clear pressure point and instantaneous camera reaction.
