Love it! This may disable the camera setting but you can get it right

First let me say that I really like it but there is one thing that I don't like. I was fed up with the inconsistent performance of a cheap remote (less than $10), so I bought this one. I've used these for lamp long exposures at night for light trails, continuous studio shots in a room with controlled lighting, and long-distance intervals. The battery lasts a long time! So what don't I like? This works pretty well, but I've found that if I insert the receiver too far into the camera, the camera settings can turn off, making it impossible for me to change the dials for exposures and others (e.g. for live view) . My camera is a Canon 7D Mark II, I'm not sure if it's related to the camera model or the remote control. The first time this happened to me, taking night photos, I thought maybe the receiver wasn't connected enough, and I kept pulling it up, but the camera settings didn't obey me. Later at home I realized that in this case I have to pull the connector a little to loosen it a little or turn it a little, then it's no problem to change the camera settings, I now say that this part is not more is a problem. This helps especially if you want to take continuous shots with the shutter remote control, because the cheap ones definitely can't do that. This remote isn't that expensive anyway, good deal.
