Xenvo Shutterbug - Camera Shutter Remote Control - Bluetooth Wireless Selfie Button Clicker - Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Android, Samsung, and Google Pixel Cell Phones, Smartphones and Tablets

Easy to set up and easy to use. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Xenvo Shutterbug is a must have for steady remote control operation of the iPhone camera still and video recording functions! Great price and over the top quality.

Easy pairing and easy to use.

This is a great little camera remote for your phone at a reasonable price, also included an extra battery. Simple to use and setup. I watched the video on the website first which you access from scanning the QR code on the box or you can type in the website. I was up and running in less than 1.minute. I did find the video was incorrect at least regarding the new Samsung S23 which you can easily switch from photo to video recording just as with the iPhone discussed in the video. Works exactly the same, so no reason to download the suggested extra app. Remote also can be used to access phone sound and keyboard which is cool but I'm unlikely to use those.features.

It was very easy to set up and works to take snapshots or start and stop videos on my Android phone. There are no printed instructions, but there's a helpful video on the vendor's website. I haven't had a chance to check it's range. I knocked it down one star on versatility because it can only pair with one phone at a time. A battery is already installed, and a spare is included.

Great Camera Shutter

Works exactly as stated --set your phone camera to take photo with volume up key, pair the Bluetooth {easy!), and snap away remotely. In video mode, click to start, and again to stop. Comes with goodies: lanyard, carbineer clip, and extra battery. It beats the heck out of the other remotes that come with some of the cheap tripods where you have to download a really sketchy camera app just to be able to use it... Great product!

Just arrived. Took no time or effort to pair. Looks like it is exactly what I needed. Although I did not need it, I watched the tutorial, which does provide some useful information. I will note that mine did not come with an extra battery as mentioned in the tutorial and in a review I watched. So maybe they are not longer providing the extra battery.

First, the pros: - Pretty easy to set up. Just pair it like any other Bluetooth device. My phone briefly complained about it needing an app, but it paired just fine the second time. - Quite compatible. Fundamentally, it's just a volume control; the button acts like one of the volume buttons on the phone. So if your camera app is configured to take a photo when you push the volume button (a common default) then it'll just work. But there's one crippling con: It seems to go to sleep really quickly. Once it connects, it'll take a series of photos just about as fast as you push the button, with almost no lag. But it disconnects when it goes to sleep, and takes several seconds to reconnect. So, if you have any meaningful delay between photos, you end up pushing the button a bunch of times before it wakes up, connects, and triggers a photo. I bought it to do product photography and let me take photos without touching the phone on the tripod, to reduce blurring. But since arranging products takes some time, I found it was always asleep when I actually needed it. It proved to be much more frustrating than helpful. Ultimately, my phone turned out to be ill-suited to that task anyway (thanks to a fixed, low aperture), but I abandoned this device long before that. The remote would probably work quite well when you want to take a bunch of photos in a short duration. In fact, I'm keeping it because it's probably useful for selfies. But it'd be a lot more useful if it stayed awake and connected for the entire time it was switched on.
