Wireless Shutter Release
Wirelessly trigger a camera and take single or continuous shots. This is a simple way to capture images without having to touch the camera. This freedom is useful for photographing wildlife or for macro photography, and for long exposures where it is necessary to eliminate any chance of camera shake.
Wired Shutter Release
In addition to wireless triggering, the camera can be triggered manually by pressing the button on the receiver unit
Single and Continuous Shooting Modes
Capture images individually or shoot in bursts
Four-Second Delay
The four second delay function makes it possible to step into the frame when shooting selfies or group portraits. it is also useful in macro photography when trying to eliminate vibrations caused by mirror movement in a DSLR
Bulb Mode
Use Bulb mode to take long-exposure photos by setting the camera to bulb mode and use the remote to open and close the camera's shutter. This mode is ideal for shooting star-trails and blurring rivers and waterfalls
16 Wireless Channels
Sixteen available wireless channels enable setting the transmitter and receiver to operate on individually selectable channels in areas with high digital interference
Two Remote Shutter Release Cables
The two included Remote Shutter Release Cables include a cable with a Canon 3-pin connector plus a cable with a mini-phono connector for compatibility with select Canon cameras and additional camera bodies with a 3.5 mm mini-phono remote release connection. Please consult the camera user manual for the individual camera being used.

Vello FreeWave Plus Reviews

Great remote!

By Sandor
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-20

I thought it would be great to have a remote release for my Fuji X-Pro 3, as I often take photos when I'm traveling, but rarely end up in any of those photos. Well, this Vello really delivers; it works flawlessly even at a fair distance, plus the buttons feel very good. By simply using the button on the receiver (w. the cord plugged into the camera), the Vello also makes a great shutter release. And, here's a BONUS (that's not described in any Vello literature): This Fuji-specific model also works perfectly as a remote shutter release for my Pentax 645z medium-format camera! Money well spent.

Great product!

Bought this for my Nikon z7ii and it works great! When I first installed, did not work so had to call customer support (Thank you Stephen!). I had the dip switches matching on both parts, but still did not work. Tech had me change all the dip switches to off and it worked. Dinging it one star as the small strap to attach to the remote is impossible to put on. Otherwise, great product!

Cheap and easy to use

I was originally looking at getting a wired trigger form my new XH2 but found this. I bought it because it was cheaper and wireless. Teh hardest part was threading the lanyard to the unit and it is a bit plasticky, hence 4 stars. As far as function, you can't go wrong! Plug it in the camera, and release with the remote - no wire. You have other functions as well as a nice addition. I was pleasantly surprised and would buy again.

Works great, does everything it's supposed to. Easy to use.

Flawless operation

I bought this version to replace my original Vello. It's much more versatile than the Canon wired or wireless remotes. It operated flawlessly in shooting stars and on a remote camera shooting wide angle from my tripod while I was hand holding my Zoom lens on a second camera.

Just something...

The batteries that come with this didn't work. The people at bh changed my batteries 3 times but none of them worked. I assume it's a manufacturer's problem. Just buy batteries separately.

Not as Expected/Cheap Build

By ken

The plastic material the unit is made from creates a poor fit for the battery covers and the receiver mount to the camera flash shoe is an accident waiting to happen. Even the wire from the receiver to the camera has a poor fit. I doubt this shutter release would last very long so I am returning it.

doesn't work consistently or wirelessly

By michael

Date: 2023-03-07

I normally do not waste time to give reviews. This device only works while plugged into my 1DX Mark 2 and not wirelessly at all. To top it all off it will only work if the receiver is closer than 6 away from the transceiver.

It depends on the camera. Some allow you to assign the shutter button to start and stop video recording. If your camera does than this remote will work to stop and start video recording.
