Cable remote switch for Canon 5DS R and Mk IV?

I'm looking for a good, cheaper alternative to the Canon RS-80N3 remote cable switch for my 5DS R and 5D MkIV. Has anyone got a recommendation?

I use a Vello. I have both a wired and a remote. Both work extremely well. Battery life on the remote is great.
Wired is $7.95 and remote is $37.50 at B&H.

Thanks, Ed. I'll continue searching but Vello for Canon isn't available on Amazon UK or ES. Other searches, including Ebay haven't found anything yet either. Pity because they look a good buy.

Lots of choices. I've used several of these - never a problem.

Of course, Jerry, that's why I am asking for recommendations....

I have both a wireless vello and a wired one. It seems the wireless works when the sun, moon and the stars are in perfect alignment. The wired one works every time.

Try B & H or Adorama. I used a Vello from there and it worked fine. The add will tell you if it is compatible with your camera. From my understanding as long as it is a 3 pin connector it should work.
