Can anyone give me an opinion about a very good wireless remote for the 30D?
Thanks and Merry Christmas
Msgt

I bought this one (external link) from Gaget Infinity Universe. It works good and is cheap. Only problem is it ships from Hong Kong so it takes a couple of weeks for delivery.

One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have an option of a 2 second delay after you push the trigger, which some other models have. This can come in handy if you are trying to take a self-portrait and want to get your remote control out of the picture.

do a search for phottix or wireless 30d on ebay. I bought one from hksupplies via ebay for less than 30 for my 5d. works perfectly fine with a good range.

I got one off ebay from Hong Kong and it won't work. It will focus but won't actuate the shutter. grrr. It would likely cost me more to ship it back than I paid for it, close enough. I didn't deem it worthy of shipping back.

I hear I may get a wired one for Christmas.

do you use pocket wizards for any lighting?

If you do you can buy a $90 cable to make your PW a wireless trigger.
