Remotes

[Henry J Booth]

ok tomorrow i am filming the national hectathlon on stoke

Wanting to get some still's so i am going to put my 500D on a tripod.
I need a remote to take the pics though.

Any ideas whats best to get ?

I have been looking at the basic canon wireless remote , the hahnel remote & flash trigger or just the hahnel remote cable switch ??

Cheers

I have the Hahnel wireless remote, without the flash trigger, and it works well for me

Is there much diffrence betwee the cannon and that one do you know becuse they are very simlar in price ?

I have a Hahnel wireless remote for my Canon 7D and I am a little dissapointed in the delay from pressing the remote to the shutter release. It let me down when I was covering an inter company cricket match. I had t take more shots than anticipated to make sure I captured the action. Maybe they are all like this but I am going to switch back to a cable connection to see if I can improve on the delay problem.
If anyone has any comments I am open for information as usual.

I have a Hahnel remote and it's been fine ...........

I have Hahnel HW433C80 wireless remote and have had no problems using it with 350D and 40D.
Can't say I notice any time delay either, although it can be set for a 3 second delay.

I was thinking of getting a Canon RC1 as they are available for about 12 quid on Fleebay are they any good or do they have a delay as well?

[Paul Iddon]

The RC1 works fine, no delay unless you set it to 2 seconds.
