Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Indispensable Remote - Very Good Function & Value
Summary: 4 Stars
If possible, I would RATE THIS ITEM 4.75 STARS
I've been using the Pentax Remote Control F with a K20D camera body and BG2 battery pack and have high praise for the small device. For me, the wireless remote performs the task of operating a K20D camera and after 5 months of uses, without any hiccups and has never let me down. The unit is very compact and the engineers at Pentax found a way to store the device inside the BG2 battery pack. A smart design feature that I appreciate very much as I know I will never be without the wireless remote
A side note, when pointing the near IR LED on the remote with in the field of view of the lens you are using, the near IR LED at the pointing end of the wireless remote is visible to a K20D camera and appears in photos as a small light source in the operator's hand. Hence, if the operator of the remote includes themselves into a photo, it is advisable to bounce the IR signal off of a surface such that the LED on the remote does not appear conspicuous in photos taken with the device.
As stated by other reviewers, the Wireless Remote Control F is very small, not much larger than the size of 2 SD memory cards end to end, approximately twice as thick and easy to lose. Therefore, it would be very convenient and without altering the exterior dimension of the device, if a small pass through sectional could be cut out from one of the corners and or modify the housing of the remote so a small key ring could loop through the remote. That way, if a user is without a BG2 battery pack, the wireless remote could be easily clipped and secured to a camera case or bag.
As a whole, the price to value and function for the Pentax Wireless Remote F is excellent and a device I recommend every K20D user to have.
Minus 0.25 for no secure storage method other than the BG2 battery pack.
