Review on Take Amazing Photos & Videos Hands-Free With CamKix Camera Shutter Remote Control And Bluetooth Wireless Technology! by Ricky Mayo

Easy, fast connection, affordable

I was looking for a device that would allow me to take pictures with my phone without actually touching my phone. My setup is a tripod-mounted spotting scope with a phone adapter. Because I'm taking video and pictures of wildlife mile(s) away, the force of gently touching my phone to take a picture is just enough to cause the entire scope to wiggle, making pictures and video terrible. I needed a device that would connect to my phone without having to plug it in or touch the screen. I also needed something compact and lightweight, as I usually travel light and will be hiking with my setup. This answered all my needs and was surprisingly easy to use.This product worked immediately out of the box. It came with a battery, and once I connected it to my phone via Bluetooth for the first time, I never had to again. After getting my scope setup, I simply had to turn this clicker on and it would automatically connect after 1-2 seconds. If the phone was in video mode, clicking the photo option would start or stop the video capture as well. I could stand 5-10 feet away from my phone and still connect; not sure about longer distances as I didn't try it. I appreciated the wrist strap as it made me feel like I wasn't going to drop it when taking pictures from cliffs, and I could tighten it so it staid firmly attached. The battery didn't have any trouble although I was in a snowy, cold area. There's really no need to complicate things with a pricey option- this is all that you should need at an affordable price.

Pros
  • ✅ LIGHTWEIGHT AND CONVENIENT TO CARRY ►The remote is easy to store. You can bring it anywhere! Just slip it in your pocket and keep it on a keychain. It comes with an adjustable wrist strap for quick access when in use.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all camera models
