E-M1 MkII - proven non-genuine cable shutter release?

[MarkDavo]

Has anyone proven their non-genuine cable shutter release on their new MkII? If so what are the details please?

I'm potentially interested in this too, Mark. So Bump ... ;-)

bought a RM-UC1 from Ebay for less than $4USD, works fine on my E-P5, need to sanding/filing off the plug surface a bit as the plug was a bit tight.

Does this work with the E-M1 Mark II? Does it come with some sort of an adapter?

Thanks.

The RM-UC1 cable is completely different from the cable required for the E-M1 Mark II...The E-M1 Mark II requires a 2.5mm mono cable - I'd be extremely surprised if Canon's RS-60E3 didn't work...

This is my understanding as well. Just wanted clarification for the thread.

Yes, Canon E3-compatible release cables should work with the E-M1 II. I tested one during an in-store demo.

Cheers.

Sorry I was assuming the E-M1 MK II would have the same USB socket as the MK I, now I am not sure if it works for the E-M1 MK II.

Thanks for trying to be helpful.

I just would like to clarify the thread for future reference.

Cheers.

I can confirm Canon E3 compatible remote works.

The plug which plugs into the camera remote socket is a 2.5mm mini stereo plug.

The ring closest to cable is ground, 2nd ring (middle) is focus and the tip is shutter release.

I have a Pixel RW-221/UC1 wireless remote I use for E-M10 Mark II. The receiver uses 2.5mm mini stereo plug. So I ordered a straight 2.5mm male to male stereo cable (actually made for audio) which was cheaper than the Pixel E3 cable. Plugged one side into the wireless receiver and the other side into E-M1 Mark II and it works just fine. The good thing about the wireless receiver it that it also has a dual step shutter release with half press (focus / exposure) and full press shutter release, so if I don't need to fire wirelessly, I can still use the receiver as a remote release. This works without batteries in the receiver, of course batteries required for wireless operation.

Sorry for the very late reply.

I'm actually open to all options of control, android app, iphone app would be fine to use, but sometimes a simply direct cable release is needed and that was the question asked in the thread.

Hope that answers your question.

Good shooting to ya!
