Description

A pocket-sized infrared remote that fires your Canon DSLR from across the room. Stop touching the camera and keep long exposures, self-portraits and group shots sharp. Built for the Canon bodies listed in the title, with an instant mode and a two-second delay.

Trigger your Canon DSLR wirelessly for shake-free shots from a distance

Solves
  • camera shake during long exposures
  • difficulty taking self-portraits or group photos
  • touching the camera and blurring the shot
  • bulky wired releases

Shoot steady from anywhere in the room

Stop touching the camera and blurring the shot. Press one button from across the frame and keep your long exposures and self-portraits sharp.

A simple remote that fires where you need it

  • Fire the shutter from across the room

    The infrared transmitter sits in the front of the remote and sends its signal to the camera's sensor. Press the button and the shutter fires with nobody touching the body, so a long night-sky exposure stays as steady as the moment you set it up.

  • Set the mode with one slider

    A rear slider switches between position 0 for an instant release and position 2 for a two-second delay. Use 0 when you are already in place. Use 2 when you need a moment to step into the frame.

  • A pocket-sized body

    The oval body fits in a coat pocket or a camera bag pocket. The battery cover is detachable and carries its own clip, and raised dots on the lower body give you a grip you can find without looking.

Set the mode and fire from across the room

  1. 1
    Mount and aim

    Put the camera on a tripod and point the remote transmitter at the front sensor with nothing in between.

  2. 2
    Choose the mode

    Slide the rear switch to 0 for an instant release or 2 for a two-second delay. Feel the click before you start, since the slider is small.

  3. 3
    Press and check

    Press the large round shutter button. Check the first frame, then repeat without moving the camera.

Stop touching the camera

Remote aimed at a Canon EOS DSLR with infrared signal waves

The shot that blurred

You frame the stars, lock the exposure and reach for the camera. Your hand touches the body, the tripod shifts a fraction, and the frame comes out soft. Running back to the camera for each retake costs you the moment.

Fire from across the room

A small infrared remote fixes that. Aim the transmitter at the front sensor, step back into the frame and press the shutter button. Nothing touches the body, so the exposure you set is the exposure you keep.

Sharp frames every time

Set the exposure, press once and check the result on the screen. The next night-sky or group shot comes out steady because nothing moved the camera.

Questions and answers

Which Canon models does this RC-6 style remote work with?
w
Wanelo · seller

The product title lists the bodies this release is built for, from the 5D Mark II, III and IV through the 6D, 70D, 80D, 760D, 750D, 700D, 650D, 600D, 550D and 500D. Check your body against that list before you buy. Bodies outside it are not covered by this listing.

Does it need line of sight, and how far does it reach?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. Infrared needs a clear, direct path to the camera's front sensor. Keep glass, bodies and bags out of the way and the remote fires reliably across a room. Point it at the sensor, not at the lens.

What battery does it use, and is one included?
w
Wanelo · seller

The battery type is not listed on this page, so look inside the compartment under the detachable cover before you order. The cover comes with its own clip, and the remote is supplied with the cover.

Will it work with Canon bodies that have no infrared sensor?
w
Wanelo · seller

No. An infrared remote can only trigger a camera with an infrared receiver. If your body does not have one, a Bluetooth shutter remote is the route to check next.

How does this compare with the built-in self-timer?
w
Wanelo · seller

The self-timer counts down and fires on its own schedule, so you cannot stop or time the frame once it starts. This remote fires when you press the button, and position 0 releases straight away. One remote saves you the retakes a blurred night sky or group shot would cost, and it costs less than a single lost session.
