A battery is required for both the receiver and transmitter (both are included in the package), and in our experience, they last a LONG time (we still haven't had to replace either in our demonstration model which is used almost daily). However, if you wish to purchase spare or replacement batteries, we stock these, and the codes are listed below:
Receiver battery: CR2
Transmitter battery: 23A
Britain’s best-selling photography magazine, Digital Photo Magazine, reviewed the Hahnel Wireless Pro Remote Shutter Release in the May 2009 issue, and gave it a full 5 STAR rating:
This wireless control works using a radio frequency and allows a remote firing of a D-SLR from up to 80m. The kit comprises a transmitter and receiver, and the latter conveniently slots into your camera’s hotshoe. The transmitter is compact and sports a short aerial, a shutter button, and a switch for immediate or delayed (4sec) firing. If your camera is set to its self-timer, this works too, so you can remotely operate any delay that your camera offers, and add an extra 4 seconds to it via the transmitter if you’re desperate! It uses a frequency of 433Mhz, and this is licence-free in Europe, so you shouldn’t get into trouble for using it within the EU.
Under both units, there’s a bank of 4 micro switches, and these offer the chance to further customise the operating frequency in case there’s interference from another transmitter (like another snapper with the same gizmo). The remote is available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Pentax and Samsung D-SLRs, and because all the different adapters are supplied to fit most of the various camera interfaces from each manufacturer, its easy to make sure you’ve got the right one. The good news is, because the device works by radio, you don’t need to have line-of-sight communication between transmitter and receiver. This means it will work through walls, so provided you’re within range, you can fire your camera from anywhere.
At a price of around £50, this offers good value considering the ease of use and the operating range, and though its not cheap compared to basic IR transmitters, you get much more versatility for remote shooting.
