Vello ShutterBoss 4.0 Overview

The Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 Remote Timer and Trigger for Select Canon Cameras from Vello offers enhanced levels of exposure control with timer functionality, featuring interval shooting, long exposures, continuous shooting, and a self-timer.

Achieve time-lapse photos of blooming flowers, sunsets, or the night sky. The wireless remote allows reduced camera shake when photographing subjects under high magnification or at slow shutter speeds—the less the camera is touched, the sharper the image. Capture candid photos or photograph dangerous subjects remotely from up to 196 feet away. Choose from 1 to 199 continuous shots or set the remote to trigger an unlimited number of photos.

The Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 is lightweight, portable, and the perfect companion for photo outings or your next wilderness adventure. The transmitter and receiver are each powered with just two AAA batteries (not included) and quickly pair with an Automatic Smart Code. Set programs quickly using intuitive controls and an easy-to-read backlit LCD screen that displays your active settings and illuminates in low-light conditions. This remote system is full-featured, compact, and a powerful, creative tool for your photography.

  • Ideal for long exposures and time-lapse photography
  • Number of shots from 1 to 199 as well as infinite

Interval Shooting
Easily trigger a camera at timed intervals up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds in one-second increments. Set a timed delay, the interval between shots and the exposure time. This is ideal for shooting long exposures and time-lapse photos, like flower blossoms and star trails.
Two-Second Delay
Set up a self-portrait in front of the camera with extra time to prepare for the shot.
Exposure Count
Select anywhere from 1 to 199 continuous shots or set the ShutterBoss 4.0 to take an unlimited number of exposures.
Exposure Time Bracketing
Bracketing a series of shots allows you to capture several images at different exposures. You can later combine these images in post to create HDR photos or use this feature to select the best exposed image.
Wireless Range
Shoot from up to 196 feet away to capture candid photos or take pictures of dangerous wildlife from a safe distance.
Smart Code Pairing
Smart code pairing works automatically and chooses the best frequency between the transmitter and receiver. This way you can use both devices right out of the box with very little setup time.
Backlit LCD Display
The backlit LCD panel provides visual reference to your settings as well as activity indicators showing what's currently running on the remote. The display also illuminates for working in low-light situations. Even in the dark, you can be in control.
Audible Beep
The ShutterBoss provides an audible confirmation after each exposure in a sequence or disabled for silent operation.

Vello ShutterBoss 4.0 Reviews

I should have bought this years ago

By Mike
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-22

I use a wired shutter release all the time and finally decided to get a remote trigger. It's really nice! Now that I have this, I'll probably never use the wired ones again.

Great Device

Really like this product, instructions were easy to read and understand, actual text to explain the functions, not just some pics. Well organized.

I am using flash trigger, how can I use the Vello Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 Remote Timer and Trigger for Select Canon Cameras
Asked by: Thomas
The Vello Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 Remote Timer and Trigger does not need to use the camera's hot shoe. It can be mounted on a cold shoe bracket such as the Vello CB-600 Straight Flash Bracket: (B&H # VECB600 MFR # CB-600).

Would this work with an EOS R50? It works with the R10, R100, and R8, which are all very comparable in performance and rel dates
Asked by: Joshua
The Vello Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 Remote Timer and Trigger for Select Canon Cameras is incompatible with the Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera. Canon did not include a remote shutter release port on the R50. So, there is no place to plug in the receiver. The camera does have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Canon BR-E1 Wireless Remote Control, BH #CABRE1 is compatible.

I'm old and still shoot at times with film. Will this unit work with my digital cameras, R5 and 90D, as well as my film camera, an EOS 3?
Asked by: Richard
Yes, all your cameras will work with the Vello Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 (RCW-4-C). The transmitter part connects to the camera's shutter release socket, and since this unit is supplied with both types of cables it can hook up any Canon -film or digital - camera which features an electronic shutter release socket.
