Shutter Release Options for 7D

[Sean Setters]

None of the above. Get the Canon RC-1 wireless shutter release. It works very well up to about 15ft, however, you have to have line-of-sight to the infrared sensor on the front of the camera.


If that won't suit your needs, someone else will have to suggest one of the other options.

Hi Sean,

I do have the RC-1 already which works great but I was looking for something that will also work for when I am behind the camera just for reducing camera shake when releasing the shutter.

Thanks,

As normal, I'll suggest you buy Canon. For me it's usually that simple.


If you want to minimize camera shake, you need a solid tripod (which you have – does it vibrate when you touch the camera?)


I haven't had this sort of problem with the Gitzo I use...


Heck, I'm getting off topic. I'm sure any of these options will work fine; don't worry about it.


Good Luck!

Hi Brendan,


Canon of course is top dog but sometimes ...non-canon brands do come thru. Have you used Canon's shutter release? Any of the others?
I am hoping to get feedback on pros & cons of each.

Nope, I love my tripod but just pushing the shutter release can cause some vibration.

I have Canon's, it works great. Honestly, it seems they're all the same.
