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
Remote Shutter Release Cable
The included Remote Shutter Release Cable features a sub-mini phono connector compatible with select Panasonic and Leica cameras. Please consult the camera user manual for the individual camera being used.

Bought this to use with a group portrait where I could put the remote in my pocket and fire off images. Worked perfectly.

Great for Remote Cameras at Sporting Events

By Jack
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-22

The trigger works great as a remote trigger for my remote cameras at sporting events. I have used two receivers with a single transmitter and that has worked well. I wish the trigger button was an on-off switch, but that is a small thing. The bulb mode for continuous shooting is great for sports. I also found a cord elsewhere that would allow this remote to work with a Sony a6700, despite that camera only having a USB-C port and not a Sony multi-terminal port (only allows manual focus though) Also, don't sleep on the range of these remotes. Something like 300 feet is great for my use cases at sports.

Same question relates to Lumix GX-9 camera. Does ...

Same question relates to Lumix GX-9 camera. Does the receiver of this remote set have the hot shoe or cold shoe. I can't tell by look at all the pictures. My thought is if it des have the hot shoe, you can make the remote operation work? Please clarify, thanks
Asked by: LAM
The receiver included with the Vello FreeWave Plus II Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Select Panasonic Cameras has a cold shoe mount for convenience, which will allow you to mount it on top of the camera rather than allowing it to dangle by the remote cord connected to the remote shutter port. If you decide not to mount the receiver on the camera, then it can still function with the remote cable.

I purchased this for the Panasonic G9 because that camera is listed as compatible with it. However, the jack does not fit into the camera... I can't get it to work. Can anyone help?
Asked by: Audrey
The Vello FWP-P FreeWave Plus II comes supplied with a 2.5mm connecting cable, which should fit directly into the socket on the right side of the camera labeled REMOTE.
