The receiver connects with a small TRS/mini-TRS cable to the camera and takes two AAA batteries (not supplied). The Transmitter requires two AAA batteries as well (not supplied). The functionality is almost flawless with the exception of focus. I use back-button focus but the remote has no dedicated focus button. You must set the camera for the shutter button to Focus/Shutter release. This setup works very well with the remote. I set my C1 program to allow for this if I need it. Otherwise I have to pre-focus on the camera. Not a deal breaker though, generally I take pictures on a tripod so pre-focusing is easy. The remote allows me to move away and operate the camera. Other settings such as burst, or multiple shots, works well. Bulb also works and includes a count up timer on the remote. All in all this is the best remote I've tried. I would like to reprogram one of the remotes' buttons to focus though. Using it for videos works as expected because the focus is automatic (Servo). You have to remember to turn the transmitter and receiver off because they don't power off automatically. This is actually a good feature. This one is a keeper.

If you have an older camera like me (Canon 5D Mark III) and want to capture pictures of yourself or take timed/ remote shuttle, this will be a great addition to your gear. It comes with the remote, cable, and receiver. I never had any issues using it for personal pictures and landscapes/astrophotography. All the buttons worked. It was fairly lightweight and durable. It is not waterproof however. I do wish it was a little less bulky but it was functional. You will need to purchase batteries. AAA I believe. There are many different shutter options which can be a little confusing to navigate but having all the options for multi shot/ duration etc was nice. I really only used the single shot but the few times I changed the quantity and duration I didn't have many issues. Mostly working out the settings on my camera vs the receiver was a challenge.

The little wireless system has two modules: a receiver (RX) and a transmitter (TX). The RX plugs into a USB Micro-B socket on my Sony DSLRs. I just leave the receiver dangling from the camera. You have to match channel numbers (e.g., CH1) on the RX and TX. This couldn't be easier. It includes a camera on-off switch that works if the switch on the on-body camera switch is on. It has a a large shutter-release button. It supports a variety of timing functions including bulb shooting (i.e., the shutter button is effectively lockable, but the camera shutter speed must be set for bulb). It has a built in timer display for bulb. It does not have zoom control (which only matters if your camera has power zoom). On a Sony camera, it can't start-stop video: the little button at upper right is for starting and stopping a times sequence. Other reviews indicate that it can control video for some other cameras. It only controls the shutter release button so it won't control video if your camera requires that you use a separate button for video. It requires 4 AAA batteries: 2 for RX and 2 for TX. It has an elaborate scheduling function. You can begin with a variable delay followed by shots fired at a user-determined interval. You can specify the number of shots in one interval set (up to 999). You can repeat the entire interval set as many times as you want (up to 99) with a specified delay between sets. The good news is that all this functionality doesn't get in the way of simple, direct operation when that's what you need. Don't anticipate headaches from complex menus if you're just needing remote shutter release. Expect to need to experiment if you're going to get into the scheduling. If you need wireless capability and/or advanced timing features, I recommend this remote. Otherwise, a wired remote is cheaper, simpler, and doesn't require batteries.

This Pixel Pro replaces the equivalent Vello, which quit on me mid-shoot. I haven't tried its fancy features yet. I do night photography, and I can't wait to try time lapses/sequencing on northern lights and meteors. Once the Pixel gets used to itself on the camera it works in the basic modes I've used it (Nikon D750). Mine was ready to go out of the box, with installing the batteries and turning the units on the only required setup. It's important to note that they chose to put the battery butt springs at the same end of the battery tray, but the batteries still go in flip-flop. So you need to LOOK at the orientation of the batteries. You can't assume the neg end goes to the spring. My unit has a hair trigger. If you look at it too hard it takes a picture. I don't know if it has a half-cock focus or not -- I haven't gotten it to work. Maybe I don't have a fine enough touch, but it ought to have the same feel as my on-board shutter button and it does not. It seems that as soon as my finger is on the button, I'm committed to the shot. I don't get a chance to correct focus. That means that on autofocus I still need to be looking at the viewfinder to ensure proper focus. Not ideal in a wildlife setting -- I'd rather have the camera close to the critters and me somewhere else. The cable on mine requires a LOT of force to seat on the camera side. I'm not used to being that forceful with delicate, multi-thousand dollar equipment, but until I really jammed it home, I thought it was a nonfunctional unit. Once I discovered how to plug it in, it has fired every time. But I need to leave the receiver unit dangling from the cable -- it doesn't fit the hotshoe, too thick. Unless I have to really jamb it on too, which I'm opposed to doing. I've taken to hanging the soft end cover from my wildlife lens from the tripod head as a holder. The good is that it has virtually no lag between pressing the button and the capture. I've been taking hummingbird pictures with it. They're quick little fellas -- quicker than toddlers, even. If there's any lag at all, the bird isn't in the picture. I'm in favor of immediate response from my equipment. In this respect the Pixel is much better than my (3x cost) Case remote, which takes a full tick or more to actuate the shutter. I got the Case unit because 40% my birds were out of focus. The Case allows me to correct the focus on a computer screen, but now I miss 30% of my shots due to the lag time. I'm going to experiment with setting up the shot with the Case Remote and triggering it with the Pixel. That would be the best of both worlds, should they play together nicely. Overall, for a remote shutter it's not a bad product for the price. Everything less costly is junk (I've tried them). As you climb into nosebleed prices the remotes seem more suited to studio work than field photography. This Pixel seems to be a good balance of price, features, function, and annoyance.

Great release. Works good with my Sony a1. Needs an L Shaped connector to work with an L Bracket based on where Sony put the port.

The only thing I didn't like was the directions. Not very user friendly as its not in english. Once I got it to work, it is a great Intervelometer. Works great for my Canon 6D Mark I.

Solid lil guy. Was great when snapping pictures in the cold. Saved my fingertips from freezing.

It works like a charm

I was hesitant to purchase at first from mixed reviews but thought I’d give it a go. I’m very happy with this, tried it out taking self portraits and this has made it SO MUCH EASIER to capture photos! Super easy to use and figure out, I didn’t end up reading the instructions but took it with on a hiking trip and I love this. Have only used the single, multi shoot & timer functions for now, but will be testing for longer exposure photos and night photography.
