I wrote a previous 2-star review about the lack of instructional materials that came with this product. I want to mention that in response to my complaints, SmallRig has been very responsive and proactive about trying to address the issues I raised. The issues are not yet solved, and there's no indication when they might provide better instructional materials, but it's rare to find a company with such responsive customer service. I would give their customer service a five-star rating, except that I just received another SmallRig product (RM 03 Macro Light) that also doesn't include instructions on how to use the items included in the package. It's clear that, as a company, SmallRig still has issues they need to figure out.

Asked by: Sky
There is no separate SmallRig app for the SmallRig Long-Range Wireless Repeater for Cameras; it's designed to work with most major camera apps, by connecting to your camera's Bluetooth/wifi signal and connecting the repeater's wifi with the user's phone or tablet.
