I have a new iPhone 11 Pro and I purchased both a Joby Handypod (which is great to use) and the Joby Impulse Shutter Remote. I am having nothing but trouble with the Joby Impulse staying connected to the phone. I have done everything possible to get it to maintain a Bluetooth connection, but with no success. For the short time that I have been able to keep the connection, I can tell it would be a very useful device. Not only does it work to take photos, it works in the other modes as well, such as video, pano, slo-mo, and time lapse. I never got around to testing the range as it looses connection after a very short period of time, like a minute. I purchased it separately from the Goby Handypod and it will not attach to the Handypod even though it has a clip. But you may find it works better attached to your key ring or find another way to keep it. The Impulse is very small and discreet, which makes it convenient. It might seem to be conflicting that I would recommend it, even though it does not work for me. Let me clarify: I can see the potential of using it, for phones that it stays connected with. It just does not stay connected with my phone. So I think it is worth purchasing, but keep the packaging for return in case it does not work with your phone. If you are lucky enough for it to keep the connection, I think you will enjoy using it. But it does not work well with my iPhone 11 Pro.

This remote changes everything! Great shots and no shake! Plus, my arm no longer has to be in my selfies! I especially like using it with still lifes. No accidental shake!

I am using this for my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It works well to remotely take pictures or start/stop video recording. I will say that this will not work in all apps. I have come across a couple where it did not respond. This is probably due to the app not supporting the feature of using the up/down volume buttons to actuate the shutter. It is easy to connect to your phone via bluetooth. You will have to reconnect each time you turn off the Impulse and turn it back on in you phone settings, however. I suggest turning it off when not in use to save on battery life. I do wish this would come with a much better lanyard. The one you see in the pic is small and cheap. This product is small, so I suggest picking up something to clip on to it to keep up with it.
