All anglers know of the problems of taking a self-portrait of their best fish. On my camera, you can set it to take one picture 10 seconds from pressing the button on the camera, or you can use an infra-red remote that will take a picture just 2 seconds after activating it.
Problems being - method 1) you have to get into postion and pose with fish within 10 seconds and for a second shot have to put fish down and push button again and pick up fish etc..... Method 2) you have to hold fish at same time as holding and activating small infra-red device and having then just two seconds to hide device and pose.
Problems, problems!
But is this the answer?
Yes, it's off Ebay, but look at the benefits -
You can set it to wait 20 seconds before the first shot, then 3 seconds (maybe 10 if using flash at night) before taking second and subsequent shots, and set it to take 10 shots to make sure you look good in at least one of them
D) or change your pose.
All the time, you can be thinking about the fish and not be messing around with the camera. I have not seen these, I don't think, made by Olympus and they are available for other cameras. What can be wrong with them? I think they're a great idea and am considering getting one.
(PS it can't damage my camera because whenever I take it I never catch owt to warrant using it! )
