I use this and it can work as an off camera trigger for a flash or a remote trigger for the camera. It doesn't feature the bulb or timer options of the one you posted though.

heres an alternate approach if youre also considering buying wireless triggers or have ones that support it, a pre-trigger wire!

Use pretrigger cable and remote control using said trigger.

edit: yea basically what mark said.

It's not a fancy one, but I've used one similar to this one for several years now (first on the XTi, now on the 60D). Mine is even more "no-name" than this Bower one. I think I paid about 5 bucks and it's worked just fine. I use it when I'm shooting waterfalls. I tried a wired release, but kept forgetting about it as I was setting up the shots, so the release got dragged through the water too many times.

I can vouch for that one as well. I have one and it works great. For time lapse, get a cable remote - I got a cheap one on ebay which works fine, but there is no way to shut off the display, so I have to remove the battery when not in use. Still it was around $25 or so and it has all kinds of timed settings.

Yup. I use the same one. Works through walls.
