Good for the price, it stopped working correctly last year. Purchased I. 2015 started having problems 2010.

I bought this remote shutter release cable for my E-PL1, since that is one of the many cameras this item is listed as working for. What I got in the mail was actually the SM-702, which I'm guessing is the newer model of this product:[...]Well, I don't know where the seller got this information, but on the package it does not say it works with the E-PL1. It ~does~ say that it works with the E-P1 and E-P2, as well as older Olympus DSLRs (I forget the exact models, sorry).I plugged it into the USB/AV Out of my camera, and... nothing. Didn't work. And there's really nothing I could think of changing in-camera to make it work.I contacted the manufacturer, a Korean company called SMDV, at [...]and asked them if the SM-702 I got works with my E-PL1. They got back to me very quickly and said that no, it doesn't.So there you go. I was able to return it without a problem, so there's no complaints from me about Amazon's part in this. The product itself, the SM-702, seems very well-built. I know one reviewer said it works on his OM-D E-M5, which is a very new Olympus camera, so I don't know why it doesn't work on mine. But beware the description the seller gives on this item. Assuming they give you the same model I got, I would contact SMDV first, and ask them if it will actually work with your Oly camera.

This is a remote shutter release for micro four thirds Olympus cameras. It has a button, a button lock (for bulb exposures, so you don't have to sit there holding the button down) and a three foot cord. It plugs into the camera's USB port and when you push the button, it fires the shutter. Works perfectly. Costs $15 compared to the $70 for an Olympus-branded equivalent. Save your money, buy this instead. I own the Olympus OM-D EM-5 and this worked great!

I was a little skeptical when I received the remote. Felt very cheaply made. The remote works well except sometimes when I am shooting macro shots the shutter lock button will get stuck. Very frustrating but overall I am happy with the product.

At first I was shocked at how small it was. This fits in the palm of my hand.It works with my Olympus OMD and it doesn't cost nearly as much as most out there.

Works just fine on my Olympus camera. So far, no problems. It would be nice if the cable was a little longer, but for the price it is good.

I am using this cable release with my Olympus OMD-EM5. It works fine...snappy and locks for long or bulb exposures.

a great little remote for my olympus omd em5. perfect for making time lapses or taking long exposures photos without touching the camera.

Usefull

Works well, that's all I require.
