Top Rated Gear: Olympus RM-CB2 Release Cable for E-M1 Mark II Remote Control Type: Wired Remotes, Triggered By: Hand / Manually

The RM-CB2 cable release enables you to focus and trigger your OM-D E-M1 Mark II without the vibration associated with using the shutter release button. This is especially useful for macro and micro photography, where it's absolutely critical that the camera remain still.  The RM-CB2 connects via a 2.5mm mini-stereo plug, freeing up your USB port for tethered shooting, or connecting a PCM audio recorder, like the Olympus LS-100. Pin Jack (2.5mm mini stereo plug). Release cable (bulb lock type).

A little more expensive than the Chinese knock offs but much better quality. The rubber on the cable is more flexible than the ones from China and seems more durable. I feel this cable release will last much longer than the cheaper ones.

More expensive but better quality

It works…what more can I say? It would be nice if every time you upgrade your camera, they’d keep the same connections.

Works as it should

Appears to be a nice product. Have not actually used the product but will be taking it to Costa Rica the end of this month and will update my review. Adorama has been great to work with, nice service, prompt delivery and always willing to answer any questions that I have about products.

Olympus remote shutter

Works as designed.  Just wished it was the same for Em 1 and Em1 M2... :(

CABLE RELEASE OMD EM1 M2

Well made, good length, needed for tripod shots.

Well made

It took forever to receive the remote but now that I have it I am enjoying it.   It doesn't have all the functions I would like but for macro and using the pro capture mode it works fine so yes I would recommend this product.

I would recommend this product

I ordered the release cable, it arrive and it worked.  What more can I say?

It works

I've only had this item a short time, but it seems to work just fine.  It's a little on the expensive side, but is very well made.  I do a lot of long exposure work (often outdoors), so assume it will stand up to years of service like my new Olympus camera.

Works as advertised

Simple to use!

Although the OLY EM1 Mark II has 3 different ways for an off camera shutter release, this is the simplest and most direct.  It is also better built than the cable release I had for my EM1 early model.

Remote Cable Release

I wish they would have made the previous cable for the EM-1 able to work. But after a few prints sold, its a less jagged pill to swallow. On the other hand, $ is $....would have been nice to use it elsewhere. But it does work well, so.........
