Customer Reviews

Superior alternative to Canon brand remote
This Opteka XL shutter release cable is a 100% compatible replacement for Canon's RS-80N3 remote. It's actually superior to the RS-80N3 in two ways: it features a whopping 10 foot cord length (vs an inconveniently short 2.6 foot cord on the RS-80N3), plus it's significantly less expensive than the RS-80N3 despite offering identical functionality.

While in theory it might not be quite as durable as the official RS-80N3, I've owned several of the Opteka releases for years without any malfunctions. Given the price difference vs the RS-80N3, most reliability concerns are solvable by just purchasing a backup Opteka XL (always a good idea for any equipment of this nature, brand or generic). Just be aware of the longer cable - my previous Canon remote was damaged when I accidentally severed the cable by closing the tripod legs onto it (albeit through no fault of the remote itself).

Note that there's another version of the Opteka remote that only has a 3 foot cord - avoid that one, as it's way too short for effective vibration isolation or group self portraiture, and appears to have a lower build quality than the Opteka XL.

Great remote!
Works perfectly. The Opteka remote feels well constructed and the two-stage button and shutter-lock slider are firm and smooth. Great price, excellent value.

Works just fine
Nothing wrong with this item. Works just fine and he's greatly needed if you want to take your photography to the next level. Price is right and quality is fine!
