First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the CamRanger team for their outstanding product and service. Dave quickly and clearly addressed all the issues I had. Considering potential developments to improve the product and optimize the shooting process, I would like to suggest considering a collaboration with Capture One. (Capture One program is like AdobeLightroom, but has more options. It also has Live view and remote shooting, but only with the cable.) As a product photographer, tools such as overlays, various grids and guide lines are important to me. And I usually use them in live view mode in the Capture One app. Capture One has Live View and remote shooting features, but these are limited to cable connections. Therefore, if CamRanger could establish a partnership with Capture One, it would create a perfect synergy. This integration would offer a comprehensive solution that combines CamRanger's wireless capabilities with Capture One's extensive features, thereby making the photography process even more efficient and effective. Wish you all the best 🤍

I received the package and when I opened it I noticed that it had 3 scratches, one measuring 3 centimeters. I am really disappointed because it is an expensive product and I did not expect that quality in the Camranger.

Yo! I’m a visual effects supervisor using Canon DSLRs and mirrorless R-series cameras to shoot multi-bracketed high dynamic range panoramas, or HDRIs for short. Additionally, I need to capture these datasets, typically thirteen to seventeen exposures 120 degrees apart for a total of 39-51 CR2 files which then get stitched and merged into a single 32bit EXR. We use these as image based lighting rigs in digital 3D scenes. So the technical nature and speed in which I need to acquire these datasets is paramount. Ninety nine times out of one hundred I’m working on a television commercial and need to photograph these images before the production can move on. So speed is everything. If I don’t move fast enough, I don’t get the data I need. The Camranger 2 helps me achieve that speed and reliability. Plus, I can double check and QC my images on my iPad Pro whilst capturing, and have 100% confidence that the 45-60 seconds I slow down the entire production is worth it. The only reason I didn’t give the Camranger 2 a 5 Star Review is that I wish it didn’t have custom batteries. If it had batteries that were off the shelf it’d get 5 stars for me for sure. Thank you Camranger!!!

The CamRanger2 is the best piece of equipment I could have bought for what I do. Works flawlessly with my Sony cameras every time and I’ve been using it for going on 4 years (I think?)…. Highly recommended!

I shoot Canon and have used Canon’s app (Canon Connect) for years. It’s never been intuitive or easy to use. Clunky and a slow interface, but I needed something to control my camera via my iPad mini. As my interior design shoots increased, I noticed I was held back by Canon’s app and I would end up leaving my iPad at home. I decided to try the CamRanger 2 because I had nothing to lose. Right away I noticed the customer service was wonderful and I felt like a valued customer. When I needed help, they were responsive and friendly. The user interface is immensely better on the CamRanger 2 app than anything I’ve used or watched reviews on. The CamRanger 2 does not drain my iPad and Canon’s battery like the Canon Connect app did. Two features I love - you can use a portable battery charger to charge the CamRanger 2 while you’re shooting. Perfect if you’re at an all-day shoot. And you have the ability to use a Mac as a bigger screen with full camera controls. I was pleased about this because my clients now have the option to view photos on my 16” MacBook Pro. You also have the option for a client to view on a device while you use another device to shoot on (ie. iPad, iPhone). I have not used this feature yet, but I plan to do so soon. Overall, I wish I bought this sooner. It’s increased my workflow, clients love how fast photos show up and the ability to zoom in on the iPad without loosing detail. If you like a simple product that just works, I think you’ll be very happy with the CamRanger 2.

I am using the CamRanger 2 on a robot base to get close up pictures of wild life. I also installed the PT Hub and MP-360. The robot doesn't seem to bother birds or other wildlife so I am getting great shots. The usable distance is more than adequate and the interface works on iPad, Android and even PC. It is quite intuitive. The only problem I had was I stuffed the batteries in the hub wrong and it took me an embarrasing couple of hours to figure it out. I have emailed support a couple of times and they responded back quite quickly. One time was due to the battery goof and the other was to discuss how long the AA batteries would last in MP-360 for my purpose. So... great product, great support, a great deal. I recommend them highly.

I purchased the Camranger 2 and had it connected to my Sony A7III without issue. However, after my A7IV came in, I was unable to get it connected. I had sent an email to support and did not receive an answer. However, my buddy who also has one happened to be a part of your FB community and was told there that a firmware upgrade was needed. I was able to update the firmware and it now works as expected. However, I still have not received a response from support. Overall, I am fairly new to it, there are a couple of quirks that I am still working through, so it could just be user issues; I have noticed that when people star their favorites and you click on the Favorites folder they are not in order of any type which makes it difficult to match up favorites in LR. Also, since I shoot RAW+JPEG, the the ratings are only on the JPEG files which I don't edit with in Lightroom. I think there is a way to rate the RAW files, but that will mean slower transfers to my Ipad. Hopefully, you are working on a better way for that to work together. Overall, I am happy with my purchase so far. Thanks in advance!

I’m in love. Only think is that I wish it was black like the photo but I got it in grey.
Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
Just got my Camranger 2 after years of using Camranger 1. Used only once, but I could notice a big difference in time for the images to show up and time to setup the whole thing. Very excited to test it even more.
Excellent bit of kit to connect with your iPad. Easy to set up. Works robustly. It’s changed the way I collaborate with my clients. It’s also also become a useful with to back up images onto an SD card as I don’t have dual card slots on my camera. Support has been responsive too. Will be good to see how they can miniaturise the device in future.
Well worth the price! I shoot on sony a7siii and a1, primarily shooting real estate, architectural, and interior design. I was using the sony connect app with my phone the past several years and just dealing with the frequent disconnections and slow reconnections sometimes taking over a minute each time. I was losing sometimes 20-30min on longer 3-4hr shoots because of the loss of connection. And I’d have maybe 20ft of range before losing connection between my phone and camera. I prefer using my phone as the shutter release since I can hold it one handed while holding my profoto light in the other as I bounce the light off the ceiling for majority of my shots. So it was also annoying how if I changed my music or needed to text/call someone that I’d have to wait a minute for the app to connect to my camera again.
Now with the camranger, as soon as I get to a location I turn on the camranger as it takes about 45sec to boot up and connect to my phone, then it keeps its connection even when switching to another app on the phone. I can unplug the camera from the camranger and use it free handed at any time, i.e. exterior shots with excellent light that don’t need bracketed shots, and plug the camera back into the camranger with no loss of time to reconnect, it just stays connected to my phone. I’ve lit up northern sides of homes with no direct sunlight hitting that side, with my camera over 100ft away with no loss in connection to create some gorgeous shots I couldn’t do before.
So I definitely love the camranger, it has been very fast and responsive for me, far far far better than the sony connect app, and well worth the price.
When it works, it’s great! However there is a very specific step by step process that has to happen it order for it to work, every time. I have been in contact with support to try and troubleshoot the issue.
