Ordered one of these a couple weeks ago and was just wondering how long other people had to wait to get theirs in the mail?

Wow I guess I'd better be patient then. 30 days seems like too long doesn't it?

Mine took over 20 days because they ran out and was waiting for shipment overseas. Grrr....However, I would assume that it would take 2 weeks.

I'm happy with my limited amount of use and the price I paid for them. It does take a while to get to you but once you have it, it will do the job.

I don't think anyone had the phottix remote for a long long time for anyone to really respond how good it is. However for the present use, it has worked wonderfully for many people.

The only thing that bothers me is that you can't change the batteries on the remote itself easily unless you open it up with a screw driver. Then again, people have stated that you won't need to change the battery for a long long long time.

Other than having paid *way* more than they cost on eBay, I really like mine. I've actually just ordered the newer model and will be giving the current one to a friend.

Yeah I've been very happy except when I first put in the battery and it overheated and melted a bit. But since swapping it around it's been fine. So just a warning MAKE SURE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED THE RIGHT WAY.
