| | Description | Wireless RF (radio frequency) remote control features maximum operating range 100m. Compared to an infrared (IR) remote control, it allows you to operate the shutter from either direction / angle. It supports unique coding for anti-interference and avoiding wrong operation. 3 operations modes: At W mode, the receiver is active, you can use the transmitter to control the shutter or focus. At O mode, the receiver will be a normal remote switch, and it will not consume any power. At L mode, the receiver will lock the shutter for long exposure. | |

 Wireless remote rocks! Mar 19, 2008
By James C. Lawrence
"sky shooter"
I bought this untried based on some other recommendations, figuring unless it didn't work at all it would not only save me a ton of money over Canon's overpriced unit ($hundreds more!)but also satisfy my need to trigger the shutter on the camera, bolted onto exterior airplane struts etc, from the inside of the cockpit.
It not only does the job, but has an excellent range, dozens of yards at least, plus I tried it through a brick wall and it worked!
I'm using it on my Canon 40D, it also works on my 20D. I also like that I can mash the button on the remote and it fires continuously.
The mode button could be a little more predictable...it's a little too easy to set it in the wrong position...but a little mark to show you for sure that you're on the right setting does the trick...or just be careful. It's not an issue for me at all.
Excellent company too, I called to ask if they could expedite shipping in time for my shooting trip and they were not only courteous but very helpful. I got the unit on time and it worked right out of the box.
I'm checking to see what else they sell that I might need, I like this company.

Great Unit - Some items miss the mark Mar 16, 2008
By R. Sutton
First, the unit works well. Outstanding is the customer service.
The down sides are:
1) The mode switch is difficult to operate. While it works, is tough to easily choose the 'mode' (Off, M-mode, L-mode) you want.
2) There's the less-than-clear instruction sheet. The charging instructions say "When the transmitter is charging, the light of the transmitter is on. There are 5 lights; each light represents 20% of the battery power. ...."
Problem: It's the receiver that is charged (recharged) not the transmitter. The transmitter uses an A-23 battery. Secondly, it's easy to confuse the 'power light', which is on the bottom of the unit, with the charge status lights which are on the back of the receiver. These status lights are tiny and unless at least one of them is 'on', you won't notice they exist.
Upside: Customer service called me withing 3 minutes of getting my email. Once you know what to look for, this is not an issue.
It's also unclear that the battery charger (which they call a power adapter) shuts down after charging the battery. The instructions make no mention of this and do say "... remove the power adapter.." once all five lights are on. I suspect that this means you should not leave it charging overnight etc.

Great product! Incredible customer service! Mar 20, 2008
By Mike Zollinger
"Mike"
The transmitter on the first unit I received did not work. I emailed Satechi on a Sat. morning and withing TWO MINUTES I got a phone call from them. I had another one delivered four days later and it works flawlessly.

 Works well, with few design flaws Jun 29, 2009
By Natureshots
Bought one about nine months ago but it crapped out, even using the receiver to release the shutter without the transmitter did not work. Satechi replaced it promptly, though they made me pay for both shipments. So far, I mainly use this device to photograph family photos and bird feedings. This device works satisfactorily, though there is a bit of lag time, making instant shutter release requirement photography a hassle.
Let me point out that as of June 2009, the picture provided for Amazon is not of the current model, though the layout is the same. The transmitter is made smaller while the receiver is made bigger. The new model looks and feels much better and the top edges are made of a slick metallic strips instead of all plastic. The plastic is made softer on the new model, providing a rubber feel for better grip.
I am a bit disappointed with the contact on the original and I am surprised that Satechi did not improve it on the latest model. If you have used the Canon wired remote RS-80N3, you know that it is designed so that the contact clicks in place, giving it somewhat of a grip lock for more stability. The WR-A100 lacks this feature and I'd have to push the contact in hard to make sure all contacts are made. The previous model used a 2.5mm (I think) plug for its charger; this design was a major inconvenience as I could only used Satechi's specific charger. The current model uses standard USB, a much welcomed chanage. Another minor annoyance is that the clicker noise on the transmitter is unnecessarily loud, though the shutter button on the receiver is a bit quieter. It would be ideal if all buttons make no clicking sounds. Speaking of buttons, there are no labels on them; it's no big deal as the buttons are of different sizes but I guess an "S" for shutter and "F" for focus would have been nice. One last thing about this device, the shutter release button on the receiver is placed at an awkward location; it should have been placed at the other end close to the wire the way Canon made their RS-80N3. This design flaw is on both the previous and current model.
I would recommend this device to those on a budget who need a wireless shutter release that isn't too expensive. If you don't need wireless, stick with the Canon models as they work well. I'd give the WR-A100 a 3.5 stars.

 Great product! Only a few drawbacks! Apr 24, 2008
By B. Tieu
Great product!!! Works as claimed.
Only complaint:
Blue light emitting from it is very bright (not good for long night exposures). I used a pouch or tape to cover it.
Falls out of socket often so not a tight fit.
But overall...awesome product.
Thanks!!
