Remote Release Customer Insights

1. What's the point? Should I sit there for ten minutes and keep the button pressed all the time? I thought the whole point of these is so you can leave the camera unattended while shooting long exposure!I tried using it with an Olympus camera even though it is not compatible with that brand, and the app recognized the exact model.

2. Many thanks!Note 9 and Canon EOS 77D Does not work, I try deleting setting on my Canon but not success,No longer works with modern android systemsnot working with canon 77DWorked a charm.

3. I used a Pixel XL, with the supplied USB C to USB A adaptor, into the mini USB socket on my Canon D60.Works perfect and unlike other apps you can shoot in RAW.

4. I tried it out with my Huawei P10 with A MICRO USB OTG and MICRO USB to USB C adapter into Canon 650D and it worked! Had to try a couple of different OTG cables (I had anyway).

5. Is there a way to use this with my E-PL6 regardless? Activating the shutter does not work, but the camera model is being displayed at the top.

6. Only downside is id like to be able to out live view on my phone screen but as far as a cable release goes.... work great.

7. All of camera buttons disabled just the shutter release on phone is active.

8. Thank you!Samsung galaxy S7 & Canon 7D Mk II wifi.

9. It's all cool and good, pairing is easy and works well but there's no timer function.

10. connection possible via wifi.

11. probably some SW bug still there.Works well.
