INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Vello
FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter
Release. This device triggers your
camera wired or wirelessly, allowing
you to trip the shutter without
disturbing the camera. It’s ideal for
taking pictures of subjects that are
dicult to approach, such as wildlife. It
also eliminates vibrations caused by
pressing your camera’s shutter release
button during macro, close-up, or
long-exposure photography. The
two-second delay function is great for
self-portraits.
Unlike infrared remotes, which
won’t work if the receiver is not
in direct line-of-sight of the
transmitter, the FreeWave uses
radio frequencies. Radio waves
can pass through and around
objects such as walls, windows,
and floors. You can even trigger your
camera around corners.
The FreeWave can transmit over
16,000,000 possible channels, and there
are no dip switches to set. The device
configures with the press of a button.
