Insignia™ - Wireless Remote Shutter Control for Canon

I use it every day. I don't leave home without it. Had become my go to tool.

This little gadget works exactly as it says it will. I did have to go back to my camera manual to set the camera on the correct settings, but once I did, it worked great. I wanted it for tripod mounted shooting to eliminate motion blur.

I ordered this recently, and the packaging for the remote was already ripped open. I was clearly sent an open box item. I would have been okay with it, but the strap that is shown in the picture was not included in the package. I also received no instructions on how to pair with my camera. I know it was only a $10 item, but I still feel ripped off.

I purchased this wireless remote to take long exposure shots, because there is a project that I want to do that takes place in the night. When I checked the list of cameras from Canon that said this functioned with, it included my T6. However in my attempts to longer exposures shots, I discovered this remote connects to the IR Mode in cameras. My T6 does not have an IR Mode. Which I learned is the reason why my camera is lighter and lower in price because Canon just removed it for beginner Photographers. I am still going to keep it and wait until I have a full frame camera to use this wireless remote that also has IR mode, but really I'm just leaving my review so that I get my 25 Best Buy points. The Hustle is real our here

I wasn't sure of this would work with my Canon Rebel but I took a chance since it wasn't too expensive. It works great!

I was searching for a remote control to do some self-shoots with my husband. Technically this works, but you must point the remote directly to the IR sensor of the camera, otherwise it will not be recognized. If you don't want to have the remote in all your pictures you will (depending on your camera) possibly need a firmware update or add-on to get a delay between pressing the button and the actual photo. The biggest issue I had was finding out which cameras are working with the remote control. The internet isn't helpful at all and even the QR code on the package itself leads into nowhere. I can at least tell that it works with my (old old) Canon EOS 500d. So, with some minus points still a working accessoire.

One third the price of the Canon model. Works exactly the same. You can't use it behind the camera as it is IR controlled as nearly all wireless remotes are. Just simply point it at the front of the camera within about an 8 to 10 ft range and click.

When I saw this, I felt it was a great buy - price-wise and functionality. When it said it works with Canon cameras, I felt confident mine (one released in the last few years), but it didn't. I thought it was the battery or a setting on my camera but it was neither. Disappointedly, I had to return it. But for those whose camera it is compatible with, you will hopefully enjoy.
