Small, light and very easy to use is the Canon RC-6 perfect for air travel and trekking, as one can dispense with thanks to each additional gram of material or any additional "Gekabel" here.
The RC-6 is an ideal complement to Canon RS-60 E3 Remote Cord, since it is significantly better (thanks to wireless infrared) suitable for some common situations. Especially if you want to avoid vibrations completely - and there may be a loose dangling a cable fast times be fatal. This was at least for me the most important reason for buying.
With two second delay, it is in self-portraits easy to RC-6 hide in time after tripping - and all without any hassle with cables. Even for astronauts or macro shots where one is dependent on the SVA (mirror lock), this feature is perfect. Simply activate the SVA in the Custom settings of the camera and set the slide switch on the back of the RC-6 on the mode "2".
On the subject of coverage: scarce ten meters in many places While specify, Canon itself are, however, in the original operating instructions "only" five meters on. Notes on how to exhaust the range optimally were already discussed in previous reviews, so I will not go again on a.
For me at least ranges are up to nine meters possible and I think that's more than enough. One should also keep in mind that the above Kabelfernauslöser has a "range" of just 60cm.
The much discussed battery change quickly or easier - there may well be some fine motor-dyslexic, which these two handles present problems. But if even I mastered the battery change without getting me or the RC-6 to break something, it can - with all due respect - do not be so difficult;)
Overall, there are so many situations where the small deficit with the reach is absolutely no problem. The positive aspects clearly outweigh. That is why I see no reason (at that at this price) subtract this product class even one star.
