A couple of weeks ago I started looking for a way to trigger my shutter remotely.

My problem was that I like to use my self as the model in my photographs.
And since I also wanna be the photographer, that kinda creates a problem, with me not having long enough arms.

My Canon 1000D has a timer function, like most DSLR’s, but getting the focus spot on, has always been the problem.

The Phottix Plato C6 wireless/wired remote fixes that. The shutter release button on the Phottix works exactly like the shutter on the camera it self.

Press it halfway down and the autofocus is activated, press it down all the way, and the mirror flicks up and the curtains move… just like usual.

I’ll try and post a proper review with links and all that later this week, when I’ve had a chance to play with it some more.
