If you want several frames in succession shoot (for example to have in group photos to select whether all have "really" looked), you have to so is not always running behind the tripod to manually trigger the 10-second timer, but can easily start the 2-second timer from the wrist. This saves you time, and it remains enough time the tiny remote in shirt or trouser pocket to hide. The small size of this remote control is no additional ballast when traveling.
And it is always with yourself in the photo.
The range is very good, felt always sufficient, but not remeasured.
Even at low sun (sunset) against the sun I could therefore still trigger the timer, infrared limited but I can imagine that it might be difficult in the midday sun - but as sometimes works even in the apartment, the TV remote control does not more when the sun seems pure.
The only noticeable drawback in my opinion is the button battery - but you get now already very low, and in 2 years I had the original battery so far also not change.
