If you got tons of electronics spare parts lying around (like me) you can save money (and have fun) by building your own cable remote.
The wiring is quite easy. The sleeve connector of a 2.5mm (3/32 inch) stereo audio plug serves as a ground terminal for the focussing (ring connector) and release (tip). Just attach buttons and you’re done. For better usability, e.g. a cable extension, I connected the 2.5mm connector to a 3.5mm connector which will be plugged into the remote.
And yes, the last picture was taken using the remote you see.
Attention: Some (weird) people might mistake the clearly unostentatious, mildly geeky nature of the design for some different kind of trigger…
