JJC Shutter Release Cable Remote Cord for Olympus OM-D E-M1X,OM SYSTEM OM-1, OM-5, OM-5III, E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III, E-M5 Mark III Mirrorless Camera - Replaces Olympus RM-CB2 Shutter Cable

A well made item that works perfectly on my camera. Cable is just the right length and the release button has good feel. Great value.

While this made of fairly thin and flimsy plastic, it works. The button has a relatively clear and positive action that lets you distinguish between a half-press (to focus) or full press to fire the shutter.If you just want a cheap cable release for occasional tripod shots, this is not a bad option.

I had the business end of my last remote shutter release drop into the Surrey Quays Dock, so no way I was ever getting that one back! I bought this as I had one previously and the trigger is moulded on to the cable - much more secure. It works exactly as it should, and an added benefit is that you can lock the shutter open, ideal for long exposures.

I have tested this with my Olympus OMD EM1 Mark ii and it works flawlessly. I can do things I can do with the main button on the camera. It allows half-pressing to focus and fully press the button to take the photo. It also allows locking the focus by sliding the button. the built quality is good but time will tell how long it will last.

What I was looking for was a cheap, simple remote shutter release for my Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark ii camera. This product delivers on that requirement. It plugs into the socket on the right side of the camera using an angled jack plug and allows you to be a little more than 24in (600mm) from the camera. The item is unpowered, taking its' power from the camera. The control end of the cable does feel a little lightweight, but it does the job and, importantly for me, it can be locked by pushing the button upwards. Locking is confirmed by a red indicator bar being visible (see photo). The normal shutter buttons on both the camera and my battery grip are both locked when the remote is locked, but can be used normally when the remote shutter release is unlockedWhat more can I say?

Almost useless. Connection into camera is so poor that it fails to take a pic 9 times out of 10Save your moneyQuality of material is very poor. I would expect this to cost 5gbp not 14...It works. Just plug into Olympus OMD EM1 mkii and use instead of shutter release on camera. 1/2 press = focus. Full press takes picture

It works well.However it will not fire a camera if that camera is set to back button focus. This is to do with olympus carers settings and not to due to any fault with the product

Cheap and cheerful but does the job so it is fine
