Query: Remote Thoughts

I purchased the Opteka Remote and when it arrived it had no battery protector. Purchased new battery. Remote still did not work. Please be aware that there are two types of Canon XTi's. A first batch and a second batch. One of the batches works with the remote, the other does not. Of course, no one knows which batch is the compatible one. I then purchased the Canon Remote for my XTi, worked first time. Comes with a strap holder. You can attach and detach the remote from the strap holder. No camera setting up. Just make sure you set the camera to remote / timer setting to allow the camera to talk to the remote. My advise, get the Canon. Don't buy the Opteka Remote unless YOU know your Canon XTi is the compatible one. However, other Opteka products work just great with my XTi.
