Does this have a 30 minute time out feature?

Not really. It times out much quicker than that. If there is a tacet movement in an orchestral score, it goes to sleep. I accidentally left it on for several weeks, but the batteries did not run down. It's now relegated to backup, as I prefer the BiliPro USB pedal.

Yes. After 10 minutes it goes to sleep. Push pedal and within seconds it's awake
1392380
Yes, though I believe it is 10 minutes. It takes 1-2 seconds for it to come back on once you tap either peddle. Great for saving battery.

I have experienced the timeout after 10 minutes - the Cicada will go to sleep, so you may have to step on it twice - once to wake it up, and then a second time for it to perform the desired action.

Yes but it may not be 30 minutes. I found it could be 1 minute or 10 minutes. I never knew when it was going to time out. That is why I bought an Air Touch page turner. It never lets me down.

No. It has timer for only 15 or 30 minutes. I would always reset the timer for another 30 minutes and that was very helpful.

I just timed mine and it takes a full minute before it times out. I've never felt that the time to power down was too short.

It definitely has a timer for shut down after no activity. Not sure the duration though

I don't know about the 30 second time....but when I use mine for a 30 minute time it will set itself for another 30 minutes'

Your right that it does have a 3 Options for he timer and 30 mins is the longest. However it can be used repeatedly
1238423
Yes it does. I don't think you can pick a specific amount of time but there are varying timers to choose from.

Yes. When you manually press the fan button on the switch, it will behave like a timer switch shutting off after 30 minutes.

No, ours runs for as long as you set the time. Longer than 30 min if set that way.

I don't believe there is a timer. If it only works for 30 seconds, I would say it is bad.
1295150
Yes. There is a 5 minute delay. There maybe a switch to increase this, but I have not looked at the unit in a while.

No. You always have to use the timer. While that an be a little frustrating it is safer that way. Max on the timer is 60 minutes.
2283344
No. There is a 20-second option and then a longer one (I think a minute). But they are very responsive and turn on when you are about 6 feet away.

Yes, it does. Find the FUNC on the your screen, click it and you will see a list of buttons on the left.. The second one from the top says OFF and it is the self-timer you are looking for :)
747391
Yes - but only for intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. If you want to set it for 20 or 25 minutes, you are out of luck.

It's not consistent, but about 1 minute. The times up timer is a bit longer.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about time lapse photos. Frankly, I did not realize it had a timeout setting that cannot be over-ridden. My use of this has been purely as a wireless shutter release cable doing product photography. Will merely taking a shot before the 15 minute timeout reset the timer for another 15 minutes?
