I am looking to get a wireless release for the 40D. Any good suggestions on a good wireless release?

Thanks

I got a Phottix Wireless Remote Set C3 for Canon 40D from HKSupplies on Ebay for $19 +ph.

Works well and at that price if it needs t be replaced its not much of an outlay.

Is there more to the store than I see? I only see 2 wired sets there.

Phottix Cleon C8. About $43 shipped, works like a charm IMO. Got mine from Teamspeed.

I got one of these. Works great. Instructions were in Chinese, but it's pretty obvious what everything does without needing the instruction sheet.

There is a link on the upper left side that lets you navigate from the home page. Above is the page that I ordered mine from. I do not see it there at the moment for the 40D. maybe they are out of stock right now. i would call and ask.

Me too! Might want to PM him and see if he'll be getting any more in any time soon.

That is for the rebel series, not the XXD or XD series.

I have a Dot Line RF Wireless Remote. I used it shooting fireworks and was well pleased with it. I picked it up a B&H.

Ok so the question is, will the POTN guys benefit from the whole store or just the "POTN Store" section of the entire store?

I dunno. i ordered one of the vest and the remote and they are both great. I know that I obtained good products at a good price. The benefit was mine.

Opps, wrong link but that's the company I bought mine from for the 40D.

Just wanted to make sure no one ordered it thinking it would work on their rebel. :lol:

stowell,

I was in your position a few months ago. I finally bought a Phottix wireless/wired remote. You can use it in wireless mode with the push button transmitter or you can use it as a wired remote with the buttons on the receiver. Cheap, $35-$45, and it works flawlessly.

For those of you friends who are using the Cleon C8 for the 40D-- Have u been able to get it to work in the "remote bulb" mode? I got one of these the other day -- I can make it work in all modes except the remote bulb. I followed (I think) the instructions, but as soon as I switch the on camera piece "receiver" to "Bulb", The shutter on the camera opens-- I thought this action should take place with the push of the remote button ---!!?? HELP PLEASE---- Thanks

If you use the receiver, itīs normal. But, you can set the receiver on "On", your camera on manual and the shutter speed on bulb, then press and hold the button on the transmitter 3 seconds to open the shutter, and half press when you want to close it.

I guess I did not make it very clear. As soon as I set the receiver to bulb -- it actuates the shutter -- it does NOT wait till I even pick up the remote-- Am I supposed to push the button on the rermote BEFORE I set the receiver to bulb?

You have to set the receiver on "on", not on "bulb".

If you set the receiver to bulb it opens the shutter than closes it when you take it off bulb.
Check this link and scroll down, you will see a short video showing how the remote is used.

I found this while researching the remote as I plan on getting one myself shortly.
