IR FT-RC6

CLIFFNOTE VERSION OF STANDARD DISCLAIMER PREFACE: I was skeptical too; Figured low cost ensured a low/no quality piece of no name plastic with a life expectancy that expired before I even bought it.It's a great remote that functions fine. No compatibility issues with my T1i or T3i - High quality look that doesn't scream no name cheap. True it's not a Kevlar remote dipped in titanium but I was surprised by it's decent appearance, look and feel. Not the standard disposable cheap plastic properties to it. Comes with battery (not sure how much a replacement battery is or average lifespan) and instruction 'paper' in a decent small box suitable for storing remote if need be.Switch on back selects timer or just shutter release - Great for long exposures on a tripod where avoiding even the slightest vibration from hitting the shutter is crucial. Shutter remotes and cables are great and a necessity for a plethora of photography uses and techniques and this remote handles it. Range is acceptable - I didn't lay down the tape measure but I had no failures within about 8 feet (which isn't an issue for my uses) - Either preset lens to manual focus and fire away or set to auto and the lens focuses just fine when remote trigger is pushed. No problems or hangups -Remember, depending on your camera you will need to change the settings in the drive mode. For Canon's you switch the drive to self timer/remote - This might sound obvious but I've seen people curse and almost destroy perfectly good remotes, thinking they are inoperable because they forgot to switch a setting in their camera. Adjust timer as/if needed or switch the remote to basic and fire away.Two things to point out - Continuous Shooting mode: You can't hold down the button and shoot continuous, but you can rapidly depress and release the trigger and it functions just like continuous shooting mode. Remote is durable to allow this and I've already put some work on it.Bulb Mode; I may be wrong but it doesn't seem to support bulb mode..? I didn't get a chance to mess with it too much in bulb mode so maybe someone else can field that question.Great buy and gadget -

I have a 60D and this little remote worked perfectly! A few things:-On the back of the remote, there's a little switch on the left side with 2 options ("2" and a circle) - slide it to "2"-You have to set your drive mode to the 2 second delay option-Pull the little plastic tab off (protecting the battery) before using. Duh.-You have to stand right in front of the camera (or at least place the remote in front of the camera if you're not taking a selfie)-it DOES auto focus your camera based on your selected autofocus point-it DOES NOT have the "half press" button…once it's pressed down, your camera will automatically focus on the focus point and take the picture in one sweep.Other things:It's super cute and small and you can easily hide it in the palm of your hand.It's plastic, but somewhat durable plastic (for the price, it's still totally worth it)It comes with a cute little carrying pouch. Nice touch.You have to smile when taking a selfie or else your picture doesn't turn out as nice.

This is a hunk of garbage. Absolutely a waste of money. It only has partial functionality and is literally not even worth it for that.It has an incredibly short and picky range and chooses when it wants to work. It also DOES NOT WORK WHATSOEVER WITH ANY OF THE TIMER OPTIONS and only (barely) functions on instant shots. I’ve used dozens of remote triggers and am a professional photographer. So the entire point of a wireless trigger (being able to hide it and have it work in the palm of your hand, increased range, etc) is noy present in this product. Literal trash, and now i’ve wasted an entire mornings work on a shoot i cannot actually do because I do not have a working trigger. Even though this technically “works” its a joke and a money grab. Only buy if you’re super desperate.The better option at this price range is the amazonbasics one. The only reason i ordered this one is because the other is out if stock and I lost my previous one.

Works just like you'd expect it to. No problems. But one big NOTE: this remote is designed to trigger self portraits, and so the infrared sensor is only on the front of your camera. This means it will not remotely trigger if you are behind the camera or even to the side.It's a great toy for a great price, but it does not replace a remote Cable shutter release like I had hoped it would, simply because you have to be in the shot in order to use it, just the opposite of what I need.It does have a nifty two second delay option built right into the remote so when you are using it to be in the photo you can trigger the shutter and still have time to hide the remote before it fires.

5 of 5 Excellent customer service, I wrote a few questions and were perfectly answered. IT DOES WORK as an immediate remote shutter release and delayed shutter release as well. I only wish it worked from other than the front but that is not a design flaw of the remote but of the camera, IR sensor is on the front.I would definitely buy other products from Foto&Tech, product is just what it said it was!!! I lost my first one and just got another, works great and does work from the side but toward the front because the IR sensor is on front. THESE work great as long as you know that for my camera for instance I had to put the camera on 2 second delay to use the remote and it takes the photo immediately with the remote at that setting and know to pull the little piece of plastic out that protects the battery from draining until you use it, ( you do not put it back in just for packing it for shipment).

camera is too old for phone apps, so this does the job!

lo trovo molto buono e di buona qualitàcontinua a funzionare anche se la pila si sta scaricandolo consiglio

5 of 5 A must have bit of kit, cannot recommend this enough.Once you have used this unit you will always want one in your bag.I use it on a Canon 60D and is the second one I have purchased (the other disappeared at a seminar!) . When shooting Weddings this is fantastic for in Church shots, camera mounted on a tripod no need for me to be standing or moving about during the ceremony, don't forget this also works for video capture.For Portraiture this adds a creative element that only remote shooting can only give, years ago the only option was a short cable release. I know other photographers have had issues and when they contacted me the problem turned out to be operator error. Set camera on timer, remote has the option to shoot with the time delay or overrides the camera setting and shoots instant, no need to adjust the camera settings. If in doubt just refer to YouTube and you can find how to set it up. Photographic equipment is renown for commanding a premium price, this is an absolute snip. Delivery was quick and the unit had excellent packaging, thanks.

Télécommande bien livré et qui fonctionne parfaitement aussi bien devant l'appareil photo que derrière, parfais pour éviter les flous de bougé. Pour le fonctionnement il suffit juste de régler votre reflex sur la pause 2 secondes, ensuite sans toucher a ce réglage vous avez maintenant le choix avec cette télécommande de prendre une photo en mode vue par vue ou avec retard 2 secondes simplement en alternant le commutateur situé au dos de celle ci.
