After looking everywhere I could think of, I went ahead and bought a Vello
RS-O1II from B&H. I seriously doubt that I would have trouble with any item
from B&H, and the reviews were consistently good. I especially liked the one
where the user stated that it was a tight fit. It's a matter that I need a
solution now as wildflower season is getting closer and a wired remote is at
the top of the list, and that's what buying the E-510 was all about from the
beginning.
