5 Stars Back up a little please. … A little more. … Just a little more. … Great!
This does exactly what it is supposed to do. … It is supple, and easily transparent in my work. … I like the reach it gives my camera, by removing me from the equation.

3 Stars Less useful
I use it rarely. This is not a good product to use. Instead I recommend using a wireless remote like pocket wizard. This is not a good product to use except long exposure.

4 Stars pricey, but works well
I agree with the other reviewer- pricey for an extension cord- but it works well. My only 2 cents to add is that it can be tough to get the plugs lined up just right with the camera and remote shutter- especially in the dark.

5 Stars the cord does and excellant job
I bought this cord because i just bought a Canon 40D and wanted to take some christmas pictures of us and needed a remote to do it. i bought the remote button that plugs in and bought the 33′ extension so i could stand away from the camera, and it worked great.

4 Stars Very useful, but boy is this long!
First, the product works very well. No issues. Workmanship and materials are good. The chord remains flexible at 15F outdoors with no issues- which is nice as many cheaper PVC cables tend to get brittle when temps drop.

I guess Canon built this for nature photography where you need to hide the camera far, far away from the photographer. But boy is this extension chord long. You will be reeling this in and out like the Old Man and the Sea. I strongly recommend getting the cardboard core of a bounty paper towel reel and using that to wrap the extension cable up. Otherwise you will end up with tangled spaghetti in the field.

The original remote has, in my opinion, a chord which needs to be 12in longer to be useful.
