Canon TC-80N3 Reviews

Makes Night Photography Much Easier

By Susan
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-11-10

I have had one of these for about 15 years. It still works great. I decided to run two cameras so I needed a second one. It has been out of stock for about 6 months, it is worth the wait. The only suggestion I would recommend is put glow in the dark tape near the buttons. I have a larger piece of tape one on the start/stop button so I can easily find it. I have already marked my new remote timer.

Works as expected

Needed a remote controller that was more robust that using iPad. This gives me the needed flexibility

Does the job.

Intuitive and easy to use. If you prefer a wired connection this is the one to get.

Reliable, solid build quality

I've gone through more no-name intervalometers than I care to recount but the Canon TC-80N3 is a solid and reliable choice for Canon DSLRs. It's easy to use in the field once you learn what and where to access all its functions. The only two design changes I would make are a larger Start/Stop button and an on/off switch. The latter request isn't a big deal, as this device draws so little current, it will literally stay charged several seconds after you remove the coin cell battery. Nevertheless, I wish I could simply switch the unit off rather than taking the battery out of its compartment, but leaving it in is an option, as the battery won't burn out for years!

Great accessory

I use this with a 1DX MKii. It allows extra options for shutter release or extra shutter operations. The instructions were slightly vague but after using the device for a couple hours the instructions make sense once you understand the logic. After using this for a day you don't need the book any more as operation is obvious. One nitpick is there is no on/off switch. Once you install the battery the device stays on. I contacted Canon tech support about this and they said the power draw is minimum from the lcd display. I purchased an extra battery ($2) anyway so I'll see how long battery life is. Unit appears well made and has the features I was looking for.

Works like a charm. Easy to set up and use. Needs the RA-E3 Remote Controller adapter I'd your cameras has an RCA type input. Use the intervalometer for Astro photography. I traded up from an older Polaroid that was no longer compatible with my new Canon 90D. There are less expensive (and presumably cheaper) knockoffs/private labels out there butCanon is a great company and stands behind their products! Worth the price. Bhphoto are great to work with! Superb service.

question

I want to shoot a Lunar eclipse with multiple shots on the SAMEimage. Will this work using the TC-80N3 or do I need to stitchmultiple images together?
Asked by: Anonymous
It sounds like you are referring to a multiple exposure shot and that really does not work with time lapse and many cameras do not have that function.You are correct and will need to blend the images together.

It looks like the remote has exactly the sabes features already built in the EOS 5D MIV. Does it add any thing different?

That is correct. The Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote Controller is about the same as the built-in system in the Conan 5D Mark IV.

Does it work with a canon rebel t7i (800d)
Asked by: Qwerty
We're afraid not. This is for cameras with a 3 Pin Connection, the T7i offers a Sub Mini Connection. The Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Canon with Sub Mini Connection is a great choice for the T7i, B&H # VERCC12. https://bhpho.to/2t9HqZb
