Comments about Olympus Olympus RM-CB1, Remote Cable Release for the E-1, E-10, E20 , E100, C5060 C7070, & C8080 Digital Cameras.:

I am using it with Olympus HLD-3, Power Battery Holder for EVOLT E300 Digital Camera. It gives my camera a lot more options. It is lightweight but It feels flimsy. I have it for two months and is working fine but I do not know if it will last.I would buy another one because it is increase the use of the Olympus E-300.

Nice unit - provides BULB shutter operation not provided by the IR remote. Bought used - box is a little beat-up but the release looks brand new.

Comments about Olympus Olympus RM-CB1, Remote Cable Release for the E-1, E-10, E20 , E100, C5060 C7070, & C8080 Digital Cameras.:

I got this remote because I have recently gotten into High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography and this makes it easy to set my camera up on the tripod and snap bracketed exposures. Highly recommended.

Comments about Olympus Olympus RM-CB1, Remote Cable Release for the E-1, E-10, E20 , E100, C5060 C7070, & C8080 Digital Cameras.:

when used with L bracket and shooting portraits just about impossible to use...granted engineering was done before L bracket and E-3 were available but a new design with a small compact 90 degree plug which would hug camera body rather than sticking out asking to be broken off, also move plug to front of camera is required, an over sight by Olympus, this is a pro camera remember...so maybe next time...other wise no problem with function of remote
