Photography unplugged - shooters can interact with a model, view the scene or set from alternate angles, or set a camera by a stream to capture an image of a bear hunting while you remain at a safe distance away - all this and more without missing a beat, a shot, or a moment. This particular FreeWave unit is compatible with Canon cameras with a 3-pin connection, and Panasonic cameras.

This versatile shutter release features Smart Code technology which allows it to be configured to operate on up to 16 million possible radio channels. You can easily switch channels to "zero in" on a frequency that provides optimal range and functionality.

The FreeWave operates with radio frequency (RF) technology, therefore a direct line of sight is not necessary; radio waves pass through objects such as windows and walls. It is unlike other wireless remotes on the market that operate on an Infrared (IR) system and require a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver to make things work.

Since touching the camera even lightly while capturing an image can create a blurred image, the FreeWave eliminates this by tripping the shutter without any disturbances. This is critical when photographing subjects close up, and for long-exposures and macros. It is also extremely valuable when photographing nature, wildlife and other subjects that are difficult for you to get close to.

LED Indicators
Two LED indicators confirm prefocus and exposure when in the wireless mode.
Versatile

Vello FreeWave Reviews

Second Purchase

By Judith
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-27

I've owned this same unit for 5 or 6 years and it's always worked great with my Fuji system. Then one day it just became unreliable. After investigating a lot of other options I decided to just buy a new one. Unfortunately the cord that came with my old unit wasn't available anymore. BH assured me this on would work. It didn't. Fortunately the old cord from the previous unit works fine. I'm not thrilled I don't have a new cord because lets be real, at some point this one will fail, but I'm happy I don't have to change my system as I like everything else about how it works.

Outstanding customer service

I purchased this quite a while ago and hadn't used it. When I went to use it I realized that the cable that came with it was not for my R5 or R5 ll. B&H had the vendor contact me. They show me where the three pin connector was needed and sent me one N/C. This was after 6 or seven months past the purchase date. You can't do better than that.

It did. Went out after about a year and a half. Bought a replacement and it doesn't work. It records video for some reason. Look into the JJC one.

question

I was wondering if this unit is compatible with with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the 7D.
Asked by: Anonymous
The FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Canon and Panasonic Kit is compatible with the Canon 5D II and 7D. Though, you could also use the Vello FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Canon w/3-Pin Connection (B&H # VERWC2), as you dont need the Panasonic cable that comes with the other kit for either the 7D or 5D II.

does it work with video?

does it work with video?
Asked by: William
Most Canon cameras after the 5DMkII can be set so that the shutter release button starts and stops the video. Same with Panasonic. Check your camera's instruction manual to see that this feature is available. If so, then yes.
