Canon 7d Problem
I use a 7D and have tried 2 wired shutter releases that are approved for the camera. Neither of them works to focus or release the shutter. Pressing the button does not do anything at all. I have tested one of them on another 7D and it worked just fine. Has anyone ever had this experience? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Make a note of any settings that you changed on the camera first.
Turn off the camera. Pull the main battery "and" the CMOS backup battery. Turn the camera power switch "on" and leave the camera alone for around 15 minutes. Turn the power switch off and reinsert both batteries. Turn the camera on and see if you now have proper operation.
If the remote works gradually reintroduce the user settings until you find the culprit setting.
If the remote does not work after the reset then there may be a problem with the camera and the remote socket.

I had my body with me at the time of purchase and we went through two just to find one that would work, and it ended up being an off brand cord. Had same problem with flash cord as well so in my case it was the nature of the beast for some reason.
Good luck:

And yes, check that you're in the right drive mode - very easy to forget to do that (one day I spent 10 minutes changing angles and wondering if my RC battery was toasted until I noticed I'd neglected to set the camera drive!)
The problem with the RC1 is that it doesn't help you in bulb mode for exposures longer than 30 seconds

500+1.4x and the slightest touch bounces the video.
Live view is also a problem focusing, slightest touch bounces view.
Any suggestions?

Typically you would/should "overshoot" any planned scenes, meaning that you start recording before the action and stop recording after the action. Any unneeded video is trimmed in post.

though. Still have the problem of manually focusing that big lens in live view.
Slightest touch to focus ring bounces screen terribly.

Is yours the Canon or 3rd party? Might just be a faulty remote.
