I've got one of these and yes it is crap. -
1) it doesn't tighten onto the tripod bush securely, so that anything that I
screw into the bottom of it (BG2/tripod) wobbles;
2) If I use it with a slow shutter speed (say, below 60th) it goes into
"rapid fire" mode.... only way to stop it is to switch it off by which time
it's wasted half a dozen frames;
3) Not sure how this compares to an Oly Winder, but the switch has a low
profile which makes it difficult to turn.
... and anyway it died a few weeks ago.
Other than that it's brilliant
