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 is. 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 and portable, making it a 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 can illuminate when working in low-light conditions. This remote system is full-featured and compact, and it makes for a powerful, creative tool for your photography.

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 several images at different exposures to be captured. These images can later be combined 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.

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 A
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.
