£10 is a very good price. Usually £14-£15 on ebay.
It doesn't matter what it says on the package Nikon/Pentax/Canon
There's only one model of the Twin1 R3-UT. The UT
stands for Universal Transmitter.

SRS sometimes have them.

The Seculine Spirit Level is also very good and
unlike the Pentax one it can be adjusted for level
as well as sensitivity. There's also a Remote for
the level.

The Pentax and similar have hardly any power.
The Seculine Twin 1 R3 Universal Remote for about £10 is much
more powerful and also transmits wireless up to 100m... for
that you need a receiver as well.... full kit about £24.50

The Seculine Twin 1 R3 Universal Remote is that powerful it will
trip other cameras and studio flash with IR. I use mine to
trigger the flash so that I can get a remote reading.

The zoom on mine is smooth and easy not stiff. Sometimes it's
better to have a stiff zoom to stop it sliding on it's own.

The AF on the K-5 is also very fast and positive.

These are very good. The 150-500mm is a very sharp lens in
the right hands.

You would expect someone to trip up over a bargain!

Well done! You would be OK if you took it with a
pint of Pentax Beer in your hand

Kingston do a similar thing.

I think the transfer is card to card probably at USB2 speed.
Hopefully they will bring out a USB3 version.

Can it also be done from a laptop?

Not a new idea I've still got a Linksys NSLU2 from about
7 years ago that did a similar thing. People even put Linux
on them and ran it as as slow internet server.

You don't get a FREE Film though even though the main
perspex sign above the shop says "FREE FILM with every camera"
he claims it doesn't apply to digital..... because when it was
put up in the 1950's they didn't foresee that one day there
would be such a thing as a digital camera. I've had that one
out with him before
