the only disadvantage of this product compared to the more expensive and harder to install ir extender systems, is the relatively large footprint of the pyramid transmitter and receiver.

get in front of the camera (lens cap removed already) and point the remote to the ir receiver on the front of the camera.
from www.amazon.com
unfortunately, the receiver window is on the front of the camera, so you have to be in front of the camera pointing at it, or at least off to the side, because it's line-of-sight.
from www.amazon.com
you can stand just behind it without too much of a problem, but as with any ir device, you really need to point towards the receiver.
from www.amazon.com
keep in mind that the infrared receiver on many cameras is on the front of the body, so anyone having problems triggering their shot may simply not be pointing it toward the front of the camera body.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't appear to work from the left of the camera, you have to move yourself to the right so the infra-red receiver/transmitter can see the signal.
