Product Overview

Built for rough Aussie conditions, the Pentax O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control lets you fire your Pentax camera without touching the body, even when the weather turns foul. Using infrared transmission, it gives you reliable shutter release plus zoom and function control from a distance, so you can stay out of the spray, sand or mud while still nailing the shot.

Fully sealed against the elements with a non‑replaceable internal Li‑ion battery, the O-RC1 is ideal for beach trips, bushwalks and wet‑weather shooting where a standard remote would tap out. The dedicated Fn button lets you switch to a three‑second delay for hands‑free group photos or self‑portraits, and the built‑in strap hole makes it easy to clip to your camera bag or lanyard so it’s always on hand when the action kicks off.
