Customer Review: Does the job, doubts about longevity
Got an identical set on eBay from the source in China for $25, free shipping.

Pro: works! The receiver uses AAA batteries, easy to find.

Con: not build to last. Using duck-tape to keep things together might not be a stretch in the future. The controller uses an odd size battery, maybe expensive to replace. The controller doesn’t have a on/off switch. So I take the battery out when not in use.

Look on eBay and it’s not hard to find. I am not a seller or in anyway related to the seller(s).
Customer Review: Works as advertised AND WILD FUN
This tiny little thing works very well. Used it on a Canon 20D and a 40D. Those who experienced dead batteries on arrival, I wonder if they noticed the near-invisible, ultra-thin hard plastic one of the batteries was wrapped in. I too, thought the battery was dead, until, a little upset, I finally noticed the thin layer of shiny plastic over the contacts. The silly stuff covered the whole battery; and so tightly, you don’t even notice it’s there, and it doesn’t prevent the battery from being inserted!
