This really came in handy for our vacation. We were able to get pictures with our DSLR without having to bother somebody to take it. Great little remote trigger!

Would not turn on. I tried with two different cameras and it did not work with either. Maybe I just got one that was not good.

I was disappointed with this purchase, as I have a canon 90d that I was unable to sync it up with. I still can use my canon app on my phone, but was looking for something that wouldn't drain my phone battery too.
