User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Works as expected
This remote works exactly as described. It only gets 4 stars from me because I feel the price is way too high for such a simple device.
But, if you want to do time-lapse photography and not have your camera connected to a laptop, this is the only way to go.
4 Stars Just works
I’m probably not saying anything new here… but it works as advertised, and would have gotten 5 stars if it weren’t so overpriced. And good luck if you want to buy the even more overpriced cable extension. Once you figure out how to use it, (the rotating wheel is also a clickable button), it’s easy enough to work. And for the fools that are complaining about how you can’t turn it off… you don’t need to, it’s like a digital watch, it stays on for like 3 years. Oh, and you can do infinite captures, you just have to set the count to “00″… not sure why they don’t advertise that or explain it in the manual.
4 Stars A good timer
It works well but is unintuitive to set up for use. Definitely requires a manual. The one which comes with the unit is Ok but there is an online manual which is more thorough and better.
3 Stars The Good… the Bad… the…
Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control – I purchased this item about 2 years ago. Good product. Great Battery Life, but no manual, expensive. I wish it had some kind of case, because eventually the cord will separate (or pull out) from the body and quit working. Which it did in the middle of a photo shoot.
3 Stars The bad: International Warranty, too expensive, I want more control
Would you like to send a product back if it stopped working properly? Well, if you are in the USA, the International Warranty isn’t going to help you.
Intervalometers should be built into the camera but they aren’t (well, more cameras are starting to do this) and so Canon charges an arm and a leg for a counting device.
I shouldn’t have to work around the fact that I want to take more than 99 photos without reseting the device. It should be easy to select how many photos you want at what interval you want. But it’s not like that.
