AODELAN Intervalometer Camera Remote Shutter Release Timer for Canon EOS 800D, 200D, 80D,750D, 650D, 1300D, 90D, M6 Mark II, 6D Mark II, 7D Mark II; for Fujifilm X-T3; Olympus E-M1 Mark II

Does what a remote wireless should do. I wish there was a mode where you could trip the shutter WITHOUT refocusing.

Easy to use and fun too. My almost 3 yr old can use it to take pictures and I don’t have to worry about my camera and we can also take family pictures without having to have someone do it for us.

easy to use

I have been testing out the Auvipal G9 Pro Voice Air Remote which features a 2.4Ghz QWERTY mini keyboard, motion sensing air mouse and a 200mAh rechargeable battery.The remote features Google Voice Assistant Control, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis gravity acceleration motion sensor and 3-level adjustment of mouse speed and up to 33 feet control range.The remote is also backlit.For the most part, I could use this remote easily for my computer to control functions.But I wanted to use this on my Samsung 4K HDTV and I spent a lot of time trying to get the remote to recognize my Samsung remote and had difficulties. The instructions make it sound quite easy and some buttons such as powering off worked fine but I couldn't switch to an HDMI source or do other typical remote jobs. So, I'm still at a standstill trying to figure this one out.I do like the design compared to other similar remotes and for the most part, may it be computer or TV, the remote is quickly recognize. It's just that the main thing I want is to use this as my main TV remote and if I can't do that, it defeats the purpose.I give it 3 stars as I know this remote has worked for others with no problems.

I am very pleased with the performance of this device. It is easy to use.

This is a WIRED system that sits on your flash hotshoe on your camera (that socket on top with a slide bracket.) A cable connects from the unit to the interface port for flash on your camera. When an accessory like this remote is attached to the accessory port, you cannot use the onboard flash or attach a flash unless you get a splitter cable and attach a your separate flash to a stand or bracket.The receiver doesn't actually have to be connected to the hotshoe but on my camera (SL1 Canon) when you are using the accessory plug, the camera disables the built-in flash. The shoe on the wireless receiver is a "cold shoe" meaning it's just there to hold it conveniently--no electronic connection. Leaving the receiver to the side, you could put a flash on top, but I was NOT able to test if the unit would fire both simultaneously. If I can borrow a flash, I'll test it out but for now, it looks like this is for outdoor and ambient light photography.The minimum shutter speed is 0.1 second and you can do 2 second delays but nothing else. There is a "Bulb" setting for manual opening and shutting of the shutter for long-exposure night photography. (FYI "bulb" refers to a pneumatic rubber bulb that would open a shutter on antique cameras. We still use the B or Bulb nomenclature to this day.)You can run time lapse in a continuous mode in five second intervals.You are limited to up to 199 shots automatically on the timer; I think this should be greater, there is no reason not to run it to 1000.You can operate two cameras with the same transmitter, but the receiver is not sold separately, so you have to buy a duplicate set to get two receivers.This unit isn't very expensive; to get a highly customizable, advanced timelapse and remote system, you'd pay more, so you get what you pay for. This is fine for amateurs who want to do star photography or nature and I'd recommend it for you if you have children and are teaching them photographic techniques and science. You won't be spending a lot and you will be able to do some advanced things with your DSLR.Summary: good for outdoor hobbyists but not for indoor or studio work with flash unless you have a bracket and flash system.

Not everyone needs a remote shutter to trigger a camera, but those who do can quickly tell tales of the limitations of the typical IR remotes that require a good aim and obviously line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. RF transmitters are not new, but in recent years they have become a whole lot more affordable and the AODELAN is almost on the upper end of the price scale for off-brand solutions.The purpose is fairly clear and beyond being able to trigger a camera away from the built in button (up to 160 ft away) opens up opportunities from being in the picture to shooting shy wildlife. The latter though may be better for wifi modules that also feed the image to know what the camera sees. Beyond this, however, devices like this also provide more extensive timers that somehow even in the most expensive dSLRs are not typical. Intervall shooting is probably the most prominent miss from a long list of features. Then again, very few are realistically needing that.The remote trigger relies on one of two connection modes. You can of course connect the timer directly to the camera’s remote release input. In that case you won’t get much distance but still a lot more freedom in working with your models. It also allows to not having to touch the camera which could introduce vibrations for sensitive macro shots. In the wired mode you also have the flash hotshoe still available if needed.The wireless mode replaces the cable with a receiver that points on the hotshoe and then connects to the same input on the camera. In this mode the trigger now communicated with the receive via 2.4 GHz RF frequency which signs responsible for the range. In this configuration all functionality is available with exception of the hotshoe. That’s not necessarily a problem, but could cause issues with remote flash triggers.Overall, the AODELAN works well with my Canon EOS 5D III and functions as expected. It’s a bit of a leftover from times when cameras didn’t have WiFi built in yet. Newer models (i.e. EOS 5D IV) have more comfortable options available. But if your budget allows for the trigger only instead of a new camera, this remote is a good choice to gain distance or more powerful timing options.
