CamKix Camera Shutter Remote Control with Bluetooth Wireless Technology - Create Amazing Photos and Videos Hands-Free - Works with Most Smartphones and Tablets (iOS and Android)

I was looking for a device that would allow me to take pictures with my phone without actually touching my phone. My setup is a tripod-mounted spotting scope with a phone adapter. Because I'm taking video and pictures of wildlife mile(s) away, the force of gently touching my phone to take a picture is just enough to cause the entire scope to wiggle, making pictures and video terrible. I needed a device that would connect to my phone without having to plug it in or touch the screen. I also needed something compact and lightweight, as I usually travel light and will be hiking with my setup. This answered all my needs and was surprisingly easy to use. This product worked immediately out of the box. It came with a battery, and once I connected it to my phone via Bluetooth for the first time, I never had to again. After getting my scope setup, I simply had to turn this clicker on and it would automatically connect after 1-2 seconds. If the phone was in video mode, clicking the photo option would start or stop the video capture as well. I could stand 5-10 feet away from my phone and still connect; not sure about longer distances as I didn't try it. I appreciated the wrist strap as it made me feel like I wasn't going to drop it when taking pictures from cliffs, and I could tighten it so it staid firmly attached. The battery didn't have any trouble although I was in a snowy, cold area. There's really no need to complicate things with a pricey option- this is all that you should need at an affordable price.

I thought this device would be appropriate for use with a smartphone affixed to a spotting scope mounted on a tripod for bird photography. It did exactly what I expected. When used, this device eliminates all of the jitters that could occur if done manually, no matter how gentle the touch. On my Android smartphone I could make use of a voice activated shutter release if I desired. Speaking loud enough to the device for a pic could also frighten off wildlife that I or someone else might be trying to get imagery of. I am quite satisfied with its performance. It has given me the ability to obtain some fantastic still and video images of my local hummingbirds. It was a no brainer getting the thing up and running almost immediately. I didn't have any issues with the size of the unit or the size of its buttons. When used, the different sized button for the different type of device formats seems to be totally logical. You don't have to look at the thing to use it. It's a two button gizmo, you use one button or the other. I did notice however that the Os button would zoom in when being used with my Samsung/Android smartphone. I checked it out with Iphone 6,7 and it worked just fine. I did not check to see if the android button would zoom the Iphone camera though. I also checked it with A galaxy 8 and a LG running on android a few or more levels above what my Samsung is operating with. I am using the CamKix blue tooth shutter release on a Samsung Rugby Pro which is operating with Android 4.1.2. I know it's only supposed to work from 4.2.2 and higher or so it was thought. I'm glad that I lucked out in that regard. Once again I am more than satisfied with this product. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their smartphone/bluetooth camera photography. I tried to put this review on CamKix's website nothing doing. I guess that's why there's only two reviews on their sight too. To bad for CamKix.

The title says it all, it works as intended with my Pixel 6, for stills and video, and way less expensive than other options.

This fantastic little remote shutter switch works exactly as advertised. For selfies, it works from across a large room -- up to at least 20 feet. I have not tested at longer distances. For candid shots, it is extremely easy to use, allowing me to focus my attention on the photo cropping in my iPhone's screen, not having to worry about holding the phone in some special way so as to reach the shutter buttons while avoiding touching the screen or covering the lens. I do some table-top still shots with my iPhone mounted on a tripod while I concentrate on getting the lighting and positioning details just right. The remote is a great help with these situations, because it can be pressed from any position around the set table, and it avoids even the smallest camera movement caused by pressing the shutter button on the phone. The remote will start and stop video recordings, and it will activate burst shots when held down. Its being amazingly inexpensive makes this remote switch just about perfect, but not quite. My only complaint -- what kept my rating from being 5 stars -- is that the switch click is too loud. I like to shoot candid shots with groups of friends or at family gatherings. The remote allows me to be a little less intrusive with my phone camera pointing -- can easily be done with one hand, instead of two -- so that people remain more relaxed about the candid shots. I do not attempt to hide that fact that I am shooting, but just my aiming and clicking the camera can cause people to act self-conscious, and the remote switch helps. So what's my only complaint? Even after I silence my iPhone camera's shutter sound, the noticeable audible click of the remote switch still draws people's attention to the photographer. I really wish there were an easy way to turn it off or make it much quieter. Everything else about this remote is near perfect, and I highly recommend it.

Fonctionne très simplement dès la première connexion, ultra simplifiée , allumé et connecté sur iPhone sans notice

Un control remoto estupendo para el móvil. La configuración del mismo es sencilla, ya que únicamente hay que sincronizarlo por Bluetooth con el móvil y el resto es completamente automático. En mi caso lo he probado con mi iPhone y desde entonces, los Selfies se han vuelto una tarea mucho más sencilla y, sobretodo, el resultado de la foto siempre es mucho mejor. No sólo porque puedes dejar el móvil a una distancia y hacer la foto, sino porque cuando simplemente coges el móvil con la mano, ya no tienes que estar buscando el botón en el móvil con la mano, lo que hace que las fotos salgan mucho mejor. Una gran compra que se ha vuelto imprescindible desde que lo compré.

Easy to use and works really well.

iPhoneで使用。 一旦Bluetooth設定したら接続が途切れることなく使えます。 自撮り棒付属のはいちいち切れてしまい、 その都度接続させなくてはならなかったのでストレスでした。 こちらを標準にしました。 サイズ感もこのくらいが使いやすいです。 登山で使用してますが小さすぎると落すと見つけにくいので。 ストラップの長さも絶妙で右手首に付けると、 そのまま外さず使用できます。 別に自撮り棒本体に付いてなくても使用感は問題なしです。

Muy útil y de muy buena calidad. Tengo más de un año con él de uso con la misma batería. Muy práctico para viajes y fotos grupales.
