Hi all,
I am interested in Canon Timer Remote Control tc-80n3. The idea of setting up the camera to take automatic pics at a defined interval is kind of interesting.
I already have the PW wireless triggers and the PW CM-N3-P
cord for remote set-up , so does it make sense to buy this canon device?
Anybody using this Canon remote cares to give your opinions about this.
Also, if anyone has used a third party cheap & SAFE Timer, please let me know too.
thanks

Yes, I actually have two. They work just fine. A little expensive, though I have heard others complain about the shoddy construction of aftermarket equivalents. There are also a multitude of LCD timer grips available that have similar functionality. I've been intrigued by these, though I suppose the advantage of the tc-80n3 is it's operability across many Canon bodies, where a grip is specific to just one model.
The (kinda of) 3rd party manufacturer Promaster sells a $99 version of the Canon remote, I've sold a few and while the build quality isn't up to the Canon version, the functionality seems just as good.
I have one Canon and three eBay knockoffs for my time lapse photography. They all work equally well, and for time lapse photography I find them quite indispensable.
I have used the Canon and 3rd party units. They work about the same so if I need one in the future I will probably just get a 3rd party unit. They are pretty darn handy.
Thank you very much everyone for all useful information.
Rick, Thanks for mentioning the MultiMax. I don't have the MultiMax yet, and i think it is a much better choice to go with it instead of the Canon trigger since i already have the expensive cable from PW.
Thanks again.
