Remote Timer
Hello,

I would like to purchase a remote timer to have a go at time lapse photography. Not sure which one to go for though. I have a Canon 7D (with n3 connector) but do not want to spend as much as the Canon timer.

I have been looking at the Aputure and Pixel version at £40 off Amazon. There are cheaper ones (£15) but they have mixed reviews.

Has anyone got one of these or others which they would recommend or pooh pooh.

Cheers

Thanks guys. I have looked into the shoot as well.
There a few comments mention the need to hack at the connector to get it to fit.
Did you have any problems? What cameras do you have?

I had an Aputure remote for my Nikon D80, which worked well, dirt cheap from Hong Kong. My D300s has one built in, surprised the 7D doesn't.

I've been looking to buy one of these timer remotes ( from SHOOT or LCD or APUTURE ) but there seems to be a lot of reviews complaining about the plug damaging the socket on the camera , now I'm only reading the reviews for the Nikon D90 compatible version so if anyone has any experience with this problem I would be very grateful to hear about it .

Many thanks.

Mark
