Canon RS-80N3 Overview

The compact Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3 has a 2.6' cable and is a remote shutter release designed to prevent camera shake for super telephoto shots, macro photography, and bulb exposures. Handy for taking pictures of subjects that are difficult to approach, or to minimize vibration for close-ups and time exposure.

The Remote Switch works just like a shutter button, enabling halfway or complete pressing. It also has a shutter-release lock. With the EOS-3's custom function no. 12 (mirror lockup), camera shake can be further reduced.

Compatible with EOS-3, EOS R5, 1v HS/1v, 1D-series, 1Ds-series, 5D-series, 6D-series, 7D, 7D Mark II, D30, D60, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D.

Note: Not compatible with the EOS Rebel series, EOS 60D, or the 70D.

Note:
Only compatible in still mode. Will not trigger the camera in video mode.

question

Will using this eliminate the need for locking the mirror up, or does that have to be done in addition to and separately from firing with the remote?
Asked by: Anonymous
While the Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3 does assist in reducing vibrations caused by you pressing the shutter button, if you are attempting to eliminate all vibrations from your image for long exposures or macro photography to reduce image blur, you may still use mirror lockup in addition to using the Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3 to reduce vibrations.

According to the B&H website under Accessories for the R5, the correct remote switch is TC 80N3. I would not use the RS for this camera.
