Wireless remote trigger problem

[Optikz]

Hi,

I have a vello wireless remote trigger that I used on my canon without issue. It connects via the mic input. From what I have found online is that it should work without issue on the X-T1 because it connects via the mic input. I am having issues though. It sometimes fires, and sometimes doesn't. It will just start snapping pictures when I plug it in, if in bulb mode, it just randomly starts taking a picture and if I push the remote button to stop it won't but it will if I push the shutter button on the camera. It will also just stop taking a long exposure picture without me touching anything. Various combinations of things seem to happen of the above mentioned problem at any given time.  I thought it maybe the batteries so I changed them, it seem to work fine when testing it in my condo. Then when out to use it the next day and had all the same issues.

Anybody have any ideas of why? or is it a software issue....

I have attached an image of the shutter release that I have....
