It looks like that cable might be included. The pics in your link and the ones on the site under "kit includes" look the same. Has anyone used this? Price is right.

EDIT: I'm looking at this one: Vello Wireless ShutterBoss II Remote Switch with Digital Timer

Same price

Looks like the sub-mini version is still $20 off: Vello Wireless ShutterBoss II Remote Switch RCW-II-C1 B&H Photo

Edit: for clarification, the EM1.2 uses a 2.5mm stereo plug like some Canon equipment, this is a change from the prior Olympus cameras which used the funky USB connector.

There are two Olympus now with the EM1.2 using a 2.5mm mini-stereo plug (aka sub-mini) for remote release.
Benefit is now you can have the USB port connected to a computer *and* still connect your remote release. (so I believe, I haven't tried it yet)

Here's the official Olympus RM-CB2 release FWIW: Remote Cable Release (RM-CB2) | Olympus

Noting seems to be working with us except the very simplistic RM-CB2. :-(

So if I got this release that worked for the Canon 70D (which I also own) it would work for both?

Does the 70D use a 2.5mm stereo plug for the remote release?

If so then yes, it should work for both.

Just a note on the TW283 from some limited testing with my EM1.2 -- The TW283 can function in wired or wireless mode, i.e. you can plug the remote release directly into the camera or you can plug the radio receiver portion into the camera and operate it wirelessly (2.4GHz). However, to work properly in direct-wire mode the TW283 *must* have batteries. Without batteries, when you plug it in the camera senses a half-press all the time and locks you out of any menu or SCP functions. Button still works for full-release, then the camera drops back to half-press. I was a little disappointed to learn this. If you need a no-batteries solution as well this won't serve and you'll need to pick up one of the myriad $6-10 options.
