Well, I don't belive it will make me money. To make it cheaper than Oly is possible only if you already have a factory set up like Olympus, and manufacture it by the thousands. In fact, I think they should give away free with every camera. I don't think I want to take that risk and place a 1000's order in a factory. I belive it is impossible to make anything with the same quality as Oly at any home lab. By quality, I also mean the design, mechanical qualities (like water proof, like RM-1) and so on. That part would cost me a huge amounts of $$$$, so I will just keep it at hobby level. Also, even if it would be cheaper, what would you do: buy a camera for US$1200 than not buy Oly original remote for US$30 but buy one cheaper for say US$22? I don't think so. I think every person with some brains would prefer Oly original RM-1. For me personally it may be cheaper, since I need about 4-5 for different applications. On the other hand, I set my own quality requirements, not demanding all that the Original has to offer. Still, if I was not interested in electronics, it would be a lot cheaper to buy 4-5 original RM-1 than build them, if I would calculate the time spent also.
