Nice addition - and it works with the Canon M50

It looks like an exact copy of the Canon BR-E1. The manual that came with the remote control looks fully functional, but it actually lacks a lot of useful and necessary information on how to set it up and run it. In any case, after pairing the element with the camera, the work is not over. On the M50, select the camera setting and enter the MENU. In the CAMERA menu, scroll down to 'Drive Mode' on the first tab, then 'Self-timer: 10s/Remote' - highlight the 'Remote' part of it. Aodelan Remote can now easily take photos for you. If you are using to start/stop video recording you will need to set the camera to the VIDEO setting and then use the menu to navigate to the first tab of the CAMERA menu and scroll down to 'Remote Control'. Enable this option and the Aodelan remote ideally toggles record/stop. Here's the best guide to pairing and setting up your camera to work seamlessly with the remote: dancarrphotography.com/blog/2018/03/31/canon-eos-m50-and-br-e1-bluetooth-remote/
