Forget $50 cables – this thing is just as good. The plug pops into the USB jack of the camera, and controls the shutter (and video recording). The button is fairly easy to press, though could be a tad larger. The lock is there, though since the button is flush, I don’t see myself using it. The cable is fairly flexible though my only minor gripe is that the cord could be a little longer. And yes – this does work on the Olympus E-P1 for photo and video.

Perfect for slow shutter speed shots from a tripod. Works just like the name brand!

Product was as advertised and arrived as stated.
The cable is about 36″ long. It appears that the USB connector is non standard and an extension cable is not available.
The product was from 47th St Photo. An email question to them about an extension cable was not answered.
I consider this poor customer service for a small item. A major purchase would have me looking elswhere.

I purchased this wired remote along with the Optek wireless remote for an Olypmus e-620. My first unit killed my camera and I had to do a factory reset over the phone with Olympus support. The second unit has sometimes worked and sometimes not. It no longer has a place in my camera bag. Whereas the wireless unit works perfectly.

pros, simple, easy to use, locks in tight to the camera, and cheap.
cons, a little difficult to get the usb to lock in compared to a regular usb to computer cable.
