Product Description
As a new updated model, the PHOTTIX® PLATO is a hybrid (wired and wireless) shutter release for cameras. The pack for the PHOTTIX® PLATO consists of a small remote control (transmitter), receiver and either one of the optional cables depending on the model of camera to be controlled. When used wireless, the transmitter and receiver can be pared by any one of 16,000,000 channels (Smart Code) within the working distance of 100 meters (320ft). The remote uses the 2.4 GHz band. The PHOTTIX® PLATO supports the following functions: single shot mode, 2 seconds delay, continuous, as well as bulb mode. The PHOTTIX® PLATO can be used with a wide variety of cameras just plug in a suitable cable to the receiver. Uses AAA batteries. The receiver can be attached to the hot shoe of the camera (facing forwards or backwards), or simply be placed alongside. The remotes shutter release button functions similarly to that of the cameras: a half press initiates autofocus on the camera and a complete press of the button takes a snap. Pressing the mode button, you can choose on of the following modes: s - acts like a single press of your cameras shutter release, 2S - single exposures with a 2-second delay, continious - will cause the remote to trigger multiple individual releases, and bulb for long exposure

 Good Product........so far June 21, 2010

Got the chance to take it for a test drive last saturday and it was a good experience. It performed as promise although I have not use all the options besides the single shot since I was doing long exposures. Seems better than the Hahnel which didn't even last 6 months of sporadic use. Overall would recomend, fast shipping from the company.

Canon does not offer a wireless remote solution for the xxD models. I believe they do for other models in their lineup. Typically canon fans will only purchase canon equipment (lenses, flash, etc) to keep their equipment "pure".
However when there isn't even a Canon option, we must turn to the aftermarket.
This product fits the consumer demand brilliantly. It's very simple:
a) Mount the receiver on the hot shoe, screw tightly in place.
b) Use the given cable to connect the receiver to the camera remote flash port on the camera body
c) Turn on both remote and receiver at the same time to let them sync.
The remote functions as expected, with 4 modes depending on the kind of shooting you want to do. You can do single-flash, multiple flashes and even bulb mode where you press once to open the shutter and press again to close. The remote shutter button behaves just like the camera's shutter button with a half-press focus as well.
All in all I'm very happy with this non canon product. The build is a tad bit plastic-y, but it feels sturdy and should withstand the test of time. I didn't try out the maximum range, but at 10~15 feet, I was having no issues.
Highly recommended.
