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

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.

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 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.

I bought this for my OM 5 camera, it fits well and is easy to use. The cable length is great and allows me to move around freely. Great buy for the money.

Cheap and cheerful but does the job so it is fine

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

Slick and good delivery.

The release button has a very vague feel to it and the lock comes on very easily so you have to be quite careful when using it. The remote would be much better to use if the button had a more positive action when pressed. Maybe just my example but for how infrequently I use it, it does the job.
