Hi all, I want to try some timelapse stuff and was wondering if anyone has used any of the non-Canon Chinese intervalometers, and if so, any recommendations because there are gazillions of them. TIA, Bill.

I've got a Satechi and it works well--although I've only used it a couple times so far.

I bought one off of ebay that feels like it's going to break any second (and felt like that from the day I got it), yet it keeps on chugging away so far (one year in).

I just ordered the one from ebay that Ray mentioned- just under twenty pounds sterling with free shipping- can't beat that with a big stick. Thanks for all your suggestions guys, Bill.
