Selens RM-UC1 Cable Shutter Remote Control for Olympus

Why You'll Love It

A simple wired remote that lets you trigger the shutter without ever touching the camera body — plug it into the multi-connector port on a compatible Olympus PEN, OM-D, or Four Thirds body and every long exposure, group photo, or macro shot stays free of the shake a fingertip on the shutter button always risks.

Perfect for: a long-exposure night shoot where even a fingertip on the shutter button blurs the stars, a reselling side hustle that needs identical, shake-free product shots for an online listing, or a family self-portrait where someone finally gets to be in the photo instead of stuck behind the camera.

Bulb-Mode Lock. Press and lock the release button to hold the shutter open indefinitely in bulb mode — ideal for star trails, fireworks, or any exposure longer than a camera's built-in 30-second limit, without a finger glued to the button the whole time.

Half-Press Autofocus and Metering. The button mirrors the camera's own shutter button exactly — a half-press locks focus and exposure, a full press fires the shutter, so nothing about the camera's normal behavior changes.

Draws Power From the Camera. No batteries to keep charged or forget at home — the cable pulls what little power it needs directly through the connector.

Yunteng VCT-288 Monopod with Fluid Pan Head and Unipod Holder

A lightweight monopod built for the moments a full tripod is too much setup and shooting handheld alone isn't steady enough — a 4-section aluminum leg pairs with a detachable fluid pan head, so panning and tilting stay smooth even one-handed and on the move. Imagine this: you're courtside at a barkada pickup basketball game, weaving along the sideline to keep up with the play — a tripod would mean picking one spot and staying there, but the monopod moves with you, its rocker-arm head keeping the pan smooth the whole time. Detachable Fluid Pan Head. The rocker-arm head tilts from -45° to +90° and pans a full 360°, giving handheld video the kind of controlled sweep a static ball head can't match — and it unscrews entirely when all you need is a plain monopod. Converts to a Tabletop Setup. Detach the head from the monopod shaft and mount it directly on the included unipod holder for a low, stable base — useful for a flat-surface shot where a full monopod's height gets in the way. 4-Section Quick-Lock Legs. Extends to 1.48m and folds to just 57cm, with quick-release levers on each section so height changes take seconds between shots rather than minutes. Padded Grip and Wrist Strap. A foam-wrapped handle and integrated wrist strap keep hours of handheld shooting comfortable and secure, without the extra bulk or cost of a full tripod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXaZIFFlin4 Do You Need a Monopod?

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II Lens

A weather-sealed superzoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras, covering everything from wide group shots to distant details in a single lens - built for the kind of shoot where swapping lenses isn't an option. Perfect for: a weekend trip out of town where there's no time - or room in the bag - to swap glass. Wide enough at 14mm to capture the whole view from a lookout point or a packed jeepney window, long enough at 150mm to pull in a distant detail without walking over, and weather-sealed enough not to worry about it through unpredictable weather on the road. Weather-Sealed Construction. Sealed against dust and splashes, so it can keep shooting through the kind of outdoor conditions - sudden rain, dusty streets, humid market stalls - that would put an unsealed lens at risk. 28-300mm-Equivalent Zoom Range. A single lens covers wide-angle group shots all the way to distant telephoto detail, cutting out the need to carry or swap multiple lenses during a single event. Compact for Its Range. At 285g and no bigger than a small drinking glass when retracted, it delivers a genuinely long zoom range without turning into a lens that's a chore to carry all day. ZERO Coating for Flare Resistance. Olympus's Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical coating cuts down on ghosting and flare in backlit shots - useful shooting toward bright windows or straight into open sky. Fast, Near-Silent MSC Autofocus. A Movie & Stills Compatible autofocus system keeps focus quick for stills and quiet enough not to get picked up by a camera's built-in mic during video. 0.22x Close-Focusing Magnification. Focuses down to 0.5m even at the long end of the zoom, enough for genuinely useful close-up detail shots without a dedicated macro lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGLUpsHSKT8&t=4s Manual See Real Photos Shot With This Lens Using This Lens for Photography and Video

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. Lens

A collapsible, pocket-sized standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras - the only lens in this catalog with built-in image stabilization, twisting down to pancake size when not in use. Perfect for: a day spent exploring on foot - a new part of the city, a weekend market, a trip home to the province - with no tripod in sight. The built-in stabilization steadies handheld shots and video clips that would otherwise show every footstep, and the whole thing collapses down small enough to live in a bag without anyone noticing it's there. Built-In Optical Image Stabilization. Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. system compensates for handheld shake in both photos and video - genuinely useful walking through an event with no tripod or gimbal. 24-64mm-Equivalent Standard Zoom. Micro Four Thirds' 2x crop factor turns this 12-32mm zoom into a 24-64mm field of view, covering everything from wide group shots to a modest close-in crop in one lens. Collapsible Pancake Design. Retracts down to pancake size for storage - just remember to twist the zoom ring past the 12mm mark to extend it before shooting, or the camera will refuse to fire and prompt to extend the lens. Fast Stepper-Motor Autofocus. A 240fps sensor drive keeps autofocus quick and quiet, useful for both fast-moving stills and unobtrusive video work. Exceptionally Light. At just 70g, it's barely noticeable mounted on a Micro Four Thirds body - one of the lightest zoom lenses available for the system. 7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm. Seven rounded aperture blades keep out-of-focus highlights soft and circular rather than polygonal, even at a modest maximum aperture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NROsVegOAIo Manual See Real Photos Shot With This Lens Using This Lens for Video (Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Test)

Meike 35mm F1.7 Lens

A fully manual, budget-friendly prime lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras, built for photographers who want real hands-on control over focus and exposure without the cost of an autofocus lens. Perfect for: someone teaching themselves photography on weekends, working it out mostly from YouTube tutorials and trial and error. There's no autofocus to fall back on, just a focus ring, an aperture ring, and a photographer's own judgment - the kind of lens that makes the lesson unavoidable. It's also small and light enough to carry around on errands or a weekend market walk for quick, candid shots without anyone noticing there's a camera out. Fast F1.7 Aperture. A wide f/1.7 maximum aperture lets in plenty of light for indoor and low-light shooting, and produces real background blur for subject separation - a genuine step up from the kit lens most students start with. 70mm-Equivalent Reach. Micro Four Thirds' 2x crop factor turns this 35mm lens into a 70mm field of view, right in the sweet spot between a standard walk-around lens and a portrait lens. Fully Manual Focus and Aperture. No autofocus, no electronic contacts with the camera body - every shot means turning a ring by hand, which makes it a genuinely good way to learn how focus and exposure actually work instead of leaving it to the camera. No Electronic Lens Contacts. Because the lens can't communicate with the camera body, most Micro Four Thirds cameras need their "Release Shutter Without Lens" custom function enabled before the shutter will fire at all - worth setting once and forgetting. Compact, All-Metal Build. A solid metal barrel just 41mm long and 176g keeps this lens small enough to sit in a bag "just in case" without anyone noticing the extra weight. 8-Blade Rounded Diaphragm. Eight rounded aperture blades keep out-of-focus backgrounds soft and circular rather than polygonal, even stopped down slightly from wide open. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HCNXfc-j0g Manual See Real Photos Shot With This Lens (Flickr Sample Pool) Shooting Video With This Lens (Blackmagic Pocket 4K Test)
