The aftermarket infrared Pearstone  The much longer range radio-wave based Pearstone/Vello FreeWave  (you want the model for the 3-pin connection on the 7D) has had much less use but if you need the distance, that would be my choice.For exposures over 30 seconds without using bulb, there are intervalvometer remotes for a bit more such as Pearstone's ShutterBoss (many features listed, but I have no experience with it). I'd suggest getting Magic Lantern which expands the in-camera maximum exposure to several hours, but last I checked they did not (yet) have a version than runs on the 7D. It is very nice on my 60D.

That's why proper wireless is loads better. True, but in most cases you can set the wireless for a 2 second delay, activate from partly in front of the camera, and then get out of the way. Obviously, if you always have to be well behind the camera for some reason, this won't work. Hugh
