The only intervalometer on this shelf

Rollei Radio intervalometer, OLED, 50 m, to 99 h 59 min 59 s

Thirty-nine euros for the only intervalometer here: an OLED display, 50 metres, exposures to 99 hours and two setups stored — for Nikon.

Rollei wireless remote release with its illuminated OLED display lit

Rollei Radio intervalometer, OLED, 50 m, to 99 h 59 min 59 s

Thirty-nine euros for the only intervalometer here: an OLED display, 50 metres, exposures to 99 hours and two setups stored — for Nikon.

Connection type
RADIO, wireless, with an ILLUMINATED OLED DISPLAY and illuminated buttons, in the second bullet — which makes the point that matters for the work this does: a timer is programmed in the dark, at the start of a night exposure, and a lit screen is the difference between setting it correctly and guessing
Sockets and bodies named
NIKON DSLM AND DSLR, in the title, with no individual model named anywhere in nine bullets. It is the vaguest compatibility on this shelf — the 35 € PROfezzion names more than forty bodies — and Nikon uses several different release sockets, so the exact plug has to be confirmed elsewhere
Half-press support
Not stated
Intervalometer functions
THE ONLY ONE ON THIS SHELF, and the fullest specification here: INTERVAL SHOOTING for time-lapse sequences; a TIMED RELEASE PROGRAMMABLE UP TO 100 HOURS IN ADVANCE; UNLIMITED BURST; and MANUAL LONG EXPOSURE adjustable from ONE SECOND to 99 HOURS 59 MINUTES 59 SECONDS. Four functions, each in its own bullet
Stated range
50 METRES, in the third bullet, for both remote release and interval work — matching the 35 € PROfezzion and five times the 10 m of the 8 € phone remote
Power source
NOT PUBLISHED, in nine bullets — which on a device meant to run a hundred-hour timer is the specification most worth knowing. A remote whose cell dies at hour ninety has taken no photograph at all

  • The only intervalometer here: time-lapse, timer, bulb to 99 hours, unlimited burst

On the listing

Nine bullets. A wireless release giving freedom from cables, since the slightest movement when pressing the camera’s own button can blur an image, and no contact with the camera prevents vibration; a legible illuminated OLED display with lit buttons for intuitive handling in the dark; remote release and interval shooting from up to 50 metres, allowing positions that were not previously possible; programmable settings, two preferred setups stored and recalled instantly; versatile interval shooting for capturing dynamic processes as image sequences over a chosen period; manual long exposure for star trails or the silky movement of a stream, beyond the camera’s own limits; an adjustable exposure duration from one second to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds; timed shots programmable up to 100 hours in advance; and unlimited burst mode for sport or the moment a bird opens its wings.

An intervalometer, alone on this shelf

Three remotes here fire a shutter. This one runs a programme. Interval shooting, a timer set a hundred hours ahead, and a bulb exposure measured in hours.

An OLED that lights up

A timer is programmed at dusk before a night exposure. A dark screen at that moment is a setting entered wrong.

Two setups, stored

A sequence shot across several nights needs the same numbers each time. Recalling them beats re-entering them by torchlight.

Ninety-nine hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds

The ceiling is absurd and that is the point: everything real — two minutes of water, four hours of stars — is inside it.

Fifty metres, for the interval too

Not only the release. The camera can be left somewhere and the programme changed from a distance.

What nine bullets never say

What powers it. On a device that runs for a hundred hours unattended, that is the figure that decides whether it finishes.

More remote shutter releases

  • Pair of ATUMTEK Bluetooth camera remotes with a wrist strap attached

    ATUMTEK Two Bluetooth 5.2 remotes, 10 m, CR2032

    Eight euros for two Bluetooth 5.2 phone remotes with a published 10 m range, 20,000 shots from one CR2032 and their dimensions on the page.

    Connection type
    BLUETOOTH 5.2, in the first bullet, claimed to give lag-free operation. It is the only wireless standard on this shelf that is not a proprietary radio or infrared — and it exists because this remote talks to a phone rather than to a camera
    Sockets and bodies named
    NO CAMERA. The second bullet claims compatibility with most Android and Apple smartphones on the market, and names nothing else. It sits on this shelf as the phone answer to the same job — and the hub above compares connection, range and power, all of which this page publishes
    Half-press support
    Not applicable. A phone has no two-stage shutter button, so there is nothing to half-press: focus is set by tapping the screen before the remote is used
    Intervalometer functions
    NONE. The 39 € Rollei on this shelf is the only intervalometer here
    Stated range
    UP TO 10 METRES, in the first bullet — the shortest published range on this shelf, against 50 m for two of the camera remotes. Ten metres is a group photograph or a self-portrait, which is what a phone remote is for
    Power source
    A CR2032 button cell of 210 mAh, in the third bullet, claimed to take OVER 20,000 PHOTOGRAPHS. Publishing a shot count rather than a battery life is the right unit for this product, and 20,000 means the cell outlasts the interest
    Amazon reference
    B0CHFCFW5C (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6973383077799
    • Two remotes for 8 €, with a published 10 m range
    • Over 20,000 shots from one CR2032, and the cell is included
    • Phones only — no camera, no socket, no body named

    Best for: Group photographs and self-portraits taken on a phone on a tripod, where two remotes mean one lives in a coat pocket.

  • Canon RC-6 infrared remote release, black, seen from the front

    Canon RC-6 infrared — three bullets, one body named "t1i"

    Sixteen euros for Canon’s own infrared remote, from a page of three bullets that names one camera in lower case and lists its contents twice.

    Connection type
    INFRARED — the only one on this shelf, and the constraint that defines it: an infrared remote needs LINE OF SIGHT to the sensor on the FRONT of the camera. It works from in front, where you are standing to be photographed, and not from behind. Every other remote here uses radio or Bluetooth and works through a wall
    Sockets and bodies named
    ONE, and written as "t1i" in lower case — the EOS Rebel T1i, a camera from 2009. The RC-6 in fact works with a long list of Canon bodies carrying an infrared receiver, and the page names a single one of them, in the wrong case
    Half-press support
    Not stated. The RC-6 has a two-position switch — immediate release and a two-second delay — and the page mentions neither
    Intervalometer functions
    None
    Stated range
    NOT PUBLISHED. Two remotes on this shelf publish 50 m and one publishes 10 m; the original publishes nothing, on a technology whose range is its main limitation
    Power source
    NOT PUBLISHED. The RC-6 uses a CR2032, and the page does not say so — where the 8 € ATUMTEK publishes the cell, its capacity and its shot count

    EAN
    4960999669304
    • Canon’s own remote, so the infrared protocol is the correct one
    • The RC-6 part number identifies it unambiguously
    • Three bullets, and the contents are listed twice

    Best for: A Canon body with an infrared receiver, standing in front of the camera — bought by part number because the page says nothing else.

  • PROfezzion wireless shutter release transmitter and receiver with its tripod clip

    PROfezzion 50 m radio, 16 channels, 5 modes, batteries included

    Thirty-five euros for a 50 metre radio release with sixteen channels and five modes including bulb — batteries included, and one transmitter fires several cameras.

    Connection type
    2.4 GHz RADIO, in the second bullet — a transmitter and a separate receiver that plugs into the camera. Radio needs no line of sight, which the first bullet names directly: the shutter fires at up to 50 metres without a clear view of the camera
    Sockets and bodies named
    MORE THAN FORTY, in the fifth bullet — the longest compatibility list on this shelf by a wide margin. It runs from the EOS R and RP through the R6 Mark III, R7, R8, R10, R100 and R50V to the 2000D, 1500D, 850D, 90D and 77D, the M6 Mark II and M5, and then leaves Canon entirely for Contax 645 and N1, Samsung NX, and Pentax K-3 II, 645D, K500 and K200D — bodies sharing the same release socket
    Half-press support
    Not named as half-press, but answered in a better way: the third bullet says the RECEIVER ITSELF FUNCTIONS AS A CABLE SWITCH. Unplugged from the transmitter’s control, it becomes a wired release on the camera — which is where a half-press lives
    Intervalometer functions
    NONE, and the page is explicit about a second limit in the same bullet: IT DOES NOT CONTROL VIDEO START AND STOP. What it does give is FIVE MODES — single shot, a 5-second delay, a 3-frame burst, unlimited burst, and BULB for long exposures
    Stated range
    50 METRES, published in the first and second bullets, over 16 CHANNELS. Channels matter where several photographers work together: sixteen means two people can fire their own cameras in the same room without triggering each other
    Power source
    AAA batteries for BOTH units, and the fourth bullet says they are INCLUDED — which on this shelf is rare enough to note. The same bullet adds a detachable clip for fixing the transmitter to a tripod leg
    Amazon reference
    B09HJQBBHM (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6940202352160
    • Fifty metres over sixteen channels, with one transmitter able to fire several receivers
    • Five modes including bulb, and the receiver works alone as a cable switch
    • It does not control video start and stop, stated by the maker

    Best for: Wildlife or group work at a distance, and long exposures — where bulb mode and 50 metres matter more than a timer.

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • Sigma TC-2001 2× teleconverter with its Canon EF mount

    Sigma 2×, SLD glass, sealed — no lens list

    Three hundred and forty-nine euros for a sealed 2× converter with Special Low Dispersion glass — and five bullets that name no lens, no stop and no gram.

    Magnification
    2.0×, in the second bullet. A 300 mm becomes a 600 mm, and the maximum aperture moves two stops with it
    Lenses named as compatible
    NONE — and on a 2× converter that is the gap that matters most. The title gives the Canon EF mount and the five bullets give nothing: no list, no range, not even a phrase like "L-series above 135 mm". The intro above is explicit that makers publish a list rather than a mount specification because a converter protrudes, and that fitting one to an unlisted lens can mean contact with the rear element. The 169 € Viltrox on this shelf names five lenses and puts "only" in front of them
    Light loss in stops
    Not published. Two stops, by the arithmetic the intro above gives for every 2×: an f/2.8 lens works at f/5.6, an f/4 at f/8. The page does not mention it, and at 349 € that is a considerable omission
    Autofocus limits stated
    Autofocus is not mentioned at all, in any bullet — neither claimed nor qualified. On a 2× that turns f/4 into f/8 this is the specification a buyer most needs, and the page is silent
    Added length
    Not published. The fifth bullet says compact and light and gives no millimetres, where the 323 € OM SYSTEM publishes 15 mm
    Sealing
    Dust- and splash-protected, in the fourth bullet. One of three converters on this shelf to claim it
    Published weight
    Not published — on a bullet that calls it light. As on all six converters here
    Amazon reference
    B00NIHBM9U (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0085126870546
    • Special Low Dispersion elements, named as a material rather than as a coating
    • Dust and splash protection, at the price level where this shelf starts claiming it
    • Not one compatible lens named, in five bullets, on a converter that protrudes

    Best for: A buyer who has already confirmed elsewhere that their lens accepts this converter, and who wants Special Low Dispersion glass in the joint.

  • Viltrox C-AF 2X II teleconverter with its aperture lever and USB port

    VILTROX 2× for Canon EF, exposure factor about 4

    A 2× converter for Canon EF that publishes both things this shelf asks for and rarely gets: the light it costs — two stops — and the five lenses it fits.

    Magnification
    2×, in the first bullet, doubling the focal length of Canon EF lenses. A 100-400 mm becomes a 200-800 mm, which is the reason anybody buys one
    Lenses named as compatible
    PUBLISHED, and published as a limit: the second bullet says it is compatible ONLY with L-series fixed focal lengths of 135 mm and above, plus the EF 70-200 mm f/2.8L, the f/2.8L IS, the f/4L and the EF 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6L. The intro above explains why the list is the gate rather than the mount: a converter protrudes, and fitting one to an unlisted lens can mean contact with the rear element
    Light loss in stops
    PUBLISHED — an exposure factor of about 4, which the first bullet itself translates as the equivalent of 2 apertures. It is the only page on this shelf to state the cost, and it matches the arithmetic the intro above gives for every 2×: an f/2.8 lens behind it works at f/5.6, an f/4 at f/8
    Autofocus limits stated
    Autofocus is claimed — the third bullet says the lens autofocus function is supported, with improved performance, fast focusing and reliable subject tracking — and NO minimum aperture is stated. The buying advice on this shelf asks for exactly that figure, because an f/4 lens becomes f/8 here and some bodies stop focusing there
    Added length
    Not published. Seven elements in four groups is the optical construction, given twice; how much further forward the lens sits is not
    Sealing
    Not claimed. The 323 € OM SYSTEM, the 349 € Sigma and the 479 € Canon on this shelf all claim dust and splash protection; this one claims coatings against ghosting and flare instead
    Published weight
    Not published, as on all six converters here
    Amazon reference
    B08GC59HV2 (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0086291917067
    • Two stops of light loss published, and translated into apertures on the page itself
    • Five lenses named, with the word "only" in front of the list
    • No minimum aperture for autofocus, on a converter that turns f/4 into f/8

    Best for: One of the five Canon EF telephotos named on the page, when 400 mm has to become 800 and two stops can be spared.

  • K&F Concept KF-25 ball head in black with its three control knobs and bubble level

    K&F CONCEPT KF-25 ball head, 10 kg, 205 g

    Ten kilograms declared from 205 g of aluminium at 26 €, with a graduated ball, a bubble level and three knobs — and a plate whose profile the page never names.

    Head type
    A ball head, in the title and throughout. The hub above describes the type as swinging freely and locking in one action — faster than a three-way head and less precise when only one axis should move. The third bullet adds a scale on the ball itself, which is unusual at this price and lets an angle be returned to
    Declared load
    10 kg, in the first bullet, credited to a high-grade aluminium alloy. Read it against the shelf next door: the tripods in this catalogue top out at 6.35 kg, and the hub above says the lower of the two ratings governs. A 10 kg head does not make a 6 kg tripod carry more
    Plate standard
    Not named. The fourth bullet gives a removable quick-release plate with a 1/4 inch thread for all reflex cameras, and never says whether the dovetail follows the Arca profile or the maker’s own. The hub above calls the plate the part that decides what else in a bag still fits, and this page leaves that unanswerable
    Mounting thread
    Both, in the fourth bullet: a 1/4 inch thread above for the camera, and 3/8 inch screw holes below so the head mounts on a tripod, a monopod or a camera slider. Naming all three destinations is more than most heads bother with
    Panning base and markings
    A scale on the ball, in the third bullet, with three knobs controlling the ball and the panorama. The page does not describe a separate panning base under the head — so whether the horizontal movement is independent of the ball cannot be read, and on a ball head that is the difference between a level pan and a drifting one
    Locking and friction controls
    Three knobs, in the third bullet, for the ball and the panning movement. The second bullet claims strong locking force and names the bubble level as what brings the camera to level. No separate friction control is described — so the knob either holds or releases
    Published weight
    205 g, in the fifth bullet, with a height of 80 mm. At 205 g it is a sixth of the Manfrotto’s mass, and the page pairs both figures with portability
    Amazon reference
    B08VW91D74 (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6942052556729
    • Two hundred and five grams and 80 mm tall, with both figures published
    • A scale on the ball and a bubble level, so an angle can be levelled and returned to
    • The plate profile is never named, so what else it fits is unknown

    Best for: A light tripod or monopod that needs a head which locks in one action and weighs almost nothing.
