## Description

Product Description The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote is a must-have tiny infrared wireless remote controller for compatible Canon EOS DSLRs. Measuring only .25" x 1.25 x 2.5" (6.5 x 32 x 63.5mm), the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote easily fits in even a small pocket.Unlike the Canon RC-5 Wireless Remote, the RC-6 will operate in either 2-second delay mode or will instantly take a shot (like the Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote). Point the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote toward the front of the camera (line of sight only) within 16' (5m) and take the shot when you are ready. Or use it to start a video.Using a wireless remote release eliminates camera motion related to pressing the shutter release - and allows you to be a subject in your photo. Being able to stay near your subject to assist in composition (or ease stress) is another benefit.The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Runs on one CR-2032 lithium button battery (included). The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote is a very useful device - and having no cord is great. You can even put it on your key ring.

Review: Read this before buying! Great piece of kit for some applications - This is a great piece of kit for what it is and for the price. Seems like a few people ordered this without understanding what it does or how it does it, so before buying read on,.. This is an infrared remote control (not wireless) so you have to point it directly at the receiver on the camera, which on most compatible cameras is on the front of the camera near or on the grip. It works like your infrared TV remote by line of sight (although it may bounce off walls if you are inside). It is unlikely therefore to work if you are behind the camera, if the lens is obstructing the sensor on the camera and definately will not work through walls or other obstructions. Being infrared it is also affected by sunlight (which contains UV and IR light) so the range is reduced outside. It is also only compatible with newer model Canon digital SLR cameras so check your manual before you buy to make sure your camera is compatible. This remote is really ideal for taking pictures of yourself or you in a group to save you pressing the button, then running in front of the camera to take up a pose! Or taking shots from a tripod where you can point the remote at the front of the camera to save you pressing the button and introducing camera shake. For the price, buy it and keep it in your bag for when you need it. For other applications, buy a more expensive wireless or cable remote... Update Had this remote for some time now and continues to work well, I can also confirm it works fine with a Canon 5D MKiii
Review: Lots of uses for an essential photography product - We travel a lot, and usually not in groups, which means it's difficult getting pictures of us. So we thought what better way than to have a tripod and this Canon Remote Control. It works really well! It's very well constructed. Mine has been dropped many times, and the fact that it's light means there is no real damage when it hits the ground. Not even a scratch after almost two years. We have a Canon 60D and have never had any issues with the remote control. As it's small you can keep it in your pocket and you hardly even know it's there. It comes in a leather pouch which keeps it stored nicely. I do keep this in my camera bag at all times, no matter what I am doing, whether its a wedding shoot, birthday shoot or landscape, it's always in my bag. Add a tripod to the mix, and you have the makings of a great combination. This really helps when taking long exposure shots, when you have setup your camera on the tripod at the perfect angle. Just step to the side, point the remote control to the front of the camera and click. No camera wobble from pressing the shutter button, and you do not accidentally move anything while taking the shot. This is a must have if you are a photographer. Particularly good when you have a group of people over and you just want to set up the camera in one corner and take natural shots whilst playing pictionary or charades.

A: I'm not sure about that year. I think only with fuel injected. Seems to start my '03 jeep fine remotely but only when left in neutral.

**Q: Does anyone know of a reflective setup in order for us to use the remote from behind? Are there plans for a simple build or even a manufactured unit?**
A: There are a lot of other remotes that aren't very expensive that include their own receiver that mount on the flash shoe (plus they will work if you leave it dangling in case you need the flash too). Probably a much simpler solution.

**Q: Does this have the ability to lock open the camera, it said it was compatible with bulb mode, is that what that means?**
A: It is absolutely compatible with bulb mode, but the RC-6 does require that its remote control infrared transmitter be able to see the infrared receiver on the front of the camera. That means being at least slightly ahead of the camera and to the right of the lens, which shouldn't interfere with any picture taking. Press the transmit button once and the shutter opens; press it a second time and the shutter closes, pretty as you please. Because we are talking bold mode, you, of course, determine the interval. One recommendation: make sure you use the mirror lockup function and a weighted tripod when using bulb mode. Even though you are using a remote control, you can get some noticeable shake, especially with telephoto lenses, and that means a less-than-perfectly-sharp image.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this before buying! Great piece of kit for some applications
*by T***E on 28 March 2012*

This is a great piece of kit for what it is and for the price. Seems like a few people ordered this without understanding what it does or how it does it, so before buying read on,..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of uses for an essential photography product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but has its Limitations
*by B***G on 18 November 2011*

This unit is really, really compact. As another reviewer has said, it's only just bigger than the product photo! It's a simple enough design with a single shutter release button on one side, and a tiny switch on the back that selects either single shot or 2-second timer release. Note that even if you set your camera to 10-second timer release, having the 2-second option selected on the remote will override it. The remote comes with a tiny pouch that has a loop for threading it onto your camera strap. It also has a small eyelet near the bottom corner for attaching a wrist cord, should you wish to do so. It features a bumpy top surface with a raised shutter release button, so you can operate it without needing to look away from the camera. Finally, it takes CR2032 batteries which are cheap and easy to find. The main issue I have with this remote, as do many others, is that it's infra red. This reduces the effective range in many situations, particularly outdoors on sunny days. Also, the infra red receiver on many EOS cameras is bizarrely located in the recess of the hand grip. This means that from camera left the lens can block the infra red signal, and from camera right with wide angle lenses the hand grip can do the same. Users need to be aware of this limitation when planning shots, and use a more appropriate piece of kit like a cable release or radio trigger if need be. For the situations this remote is suited to, it works well. It's consistent, reliable, and discreet. I'm taking off one star for the fact that the usefulness of the remote is hobbled by its reliance on infra red communication, and because it should be supplied with compatible models as standard instead of being used to gouge even more cash from loyal customers. Neither of those things is worth a whole star in its own right.
