Description of ๐Ÿ“ธ Capture Effortlessly: Vello FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Canon (Sub-Mini Connection)

For Select Canon, Pentax, Samsung | Contax, Hasselblad & Sigma DSLRs | 16 Million Possible Channels | Operates on Radio Frequencies (RF). Direct Line of Sight Not Required | Operating Range up to 320' (100 m) | Wireless Continuous or Single Exposures. Long Time Exposures | Transmitter Can Fire Multiple Receivers | Wireless Autofocusing & Triggering. In The Box: Wireless RF Receiver, Wireless RF Transmitter, 23A 12V Battery for Transmitter, CR2 3V Battery for Receiver, 2.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable for Cameras with 2.5mm Sub-Mini Connections, Lanyard, Clip, User's Manual, 1-Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty. Whether capturing images in the studio or on location, the Vello FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter Release adds flexibility and versatility to your shooting style. Photography unplugged - shooters can interact with a model, view the scene or set from alternate angles, or set a camera by a stream to capture an image of a bear hunting while you remain at a safe distance away - all this and more without missing a beat, a shot, or a moment. This particular FreeWave unit is compatible with cameras with a sub-mini connection, i.e. Canon EOS Rebel series, 60D, 70D, PowerShot G15 and G1 X, Contax N and 645, Hasselblad H, Pentax K and DS, Sigma SD and Samsung GX series cameras. This versatile shutter release features Smart Code technology which allows it to be configured to operate on up to 16 million possible radio channels. You can easily switch channels to "zero in" on a frequency that provides optimal range and functionality. The FreeWave operates with radio frequency (RF) technology, therefore a direct line of sight is not necessary; radio waves pass through objects such as windows and walls. It is unlike other wireless remotes on the market that operate on an Infrared (IR) system and require a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver to make things work. Since touching the camera even lightly while capturing an image can create a blurred image, the FreeWave eliminates this by tripping the shutter without any disturbances. This is critical when photographing subjects close up, and for long-exposures and macros. It is also extremely valuable when photographing nature, wildlife and other subjects that are difficult for you to get close to.

Great little remote control!

So far this is a great little gadget. Worked great on my Canon Rebel T5. I had to look for an option when we found that our Canon T5 didn't have a remote control function which was disappointing. Obviously this was a cheaper option than upgrading the camera again as we only need the remote a few times a year. It looks like it was well made and worked great out of the box. It attaches to a flash mount or we tie it to a tripod when we need to use the flash on the camera. I've tested the remoteโ€ฆ

Good price

I bought a Vello FreeWave wireless remote shutter release to use with the Canon EOS Rebel. Connecting the trigger to the camera is very easy and I love that the remote transmitter is designed to fit into the external flash slot on top of the camera. I found the trigger pretty easy to use. I've used it in both manual (the button on the shutter itself) and remote modes. I've never had any problems in manual mode. There is very little lag when using the remote control. Sometimes the remote control

Try it you'll love it

I've had another remote shutter release over the year and was delighted. I don't think I can mention the brand but if so I'll add it to my review when I make an update. For some reason, the manufacturer discontinued the remote control and replaced it with another device. I didn't buy it after my block was damaged. The new remote transmitter was larger. It had more features, but cost significantly more and was clunky in the hand. When I was looking for an alternative, I came across the Velloโ€ฆ
