Vello RS-C2II Overview

Whether shooting in the studio or outdoors, the Vello RS-C2II Wired Remote Switch provides photographers using select Canon cameras with a 3-pin connection with a simple way to control exposures and create more "keepers". The device has a thick, sturdy cord and is larger and more comfortable to use than many other remote devices.

The RS-C2II is compatible with autofocusing, continuous shooting, single image capture, and long exposures. It will autofocus with a half press of the button and trigger the shutter with a full press. Also, users can press the button and slide it forward to lock it for long exposures. It can be used with cameras that feature live-view mode. Since exposures can be triggered without touching the camera, sharp, blur-free images are captured. The RS-C2II does not require batteries as it operates on the camera's power, making it an extremely useful tool to keep in your studio or gear bag.

Vello RS-C2II Reviews

It's a great price for a convenient piece of tech that you can rely on.

Good Option for Great Price

This is every bit as nice as the Canon brand, with the small note that it lacks the latching clip of the Canon. If you need a remote that does not need to "clip" into the camera this one is a great option. Most remote shooters will not need that additional feature and you'll save a significant amount of cash. Vello has made a good option here.

question

Will this work for time-lapse photos of the stars if you want to set it to take a picture every 30 seconds until you tell it to stop?
Asked by: Anonymous
While this remote can be used for long Continuous or Single Exposures you would not be able to set a time duration between shots. You would instead want a remote with interval control like the Vello Wireless ShutterBoss Timer Remote (Canon 3-Pin Connection). http://bhpho.to/IDVQcH

question

does this work on the t3i?
Asked by: George B.
No, the Vello RS-C2II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon 3-Pin Cameras will not work on the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3i DSLR camera. As the Canon EOS T3i DSLR camera uses the E3 2.5mm sub-miniphone remote terminal connection, the Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch for Select Cameras with 2.5mm Sub-Mini Connections, B&H # VERSC1II, would be the correct remote for your needs.

question

Does it work for Canon G11? If not, which one should I get?
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately, the RS-C2II Wired Remote is not compatible with the Canon G11, as the G11 does not have the 3-pin accessory port. You would need the Vello RS-C1II Wired Remote Switch (B&H # VERSC1II).

Can you lock it for long exposures (so you don't have to keep holding the button)?
Asked by: Raphael
As the Vello RS-C2II Wired Remote Switch for Select Canon 3-Pin Cameras, B&H # VERSC2II, has a [HOLD] lock switch surrounding the shutter button, you can press the button and slide it forward to lock it for long exposures.

question

I know the RS-C2II Wired Remote Switch cable itself is very short, is there an additional cable that I can purchase to attach to the RS-C2II Wired Remote Switch to increase the working distance of the Remote Switch from the camera? Thank you.
