CamKix camera Remote. Secretly Activate your phones camera / video.

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

I'll be getting one of them Fred. Be handy to have. Good vid mate. Same nice weather over there then.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hey George. They are handy. Ive been using an old iphone in the shack to capture odd QSO's but the phone is very close to the radio so hitting the video start button is fiddly. Been dead easy with this and no crappy ad ridden App to install.

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

@@CB-RADIO-UK have it ordered Fred. I'll let you know how things go on the android side of it...

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

@@GeorgeEI7KO Thanks George. It should just connect without any issue.

[@mandyhedley28]

I bought one of these and didn't have a clue how to set it up. I've followed your perfect tutorial and now know what I'm doing. Thank you so much.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Glad I could help!

[@taraowens2112]

Thank you for the video. It may seem overly simple, but I didn't remember how I paired my shutter remote with my previous phone and couldn't get it to work with my new one. Duh! Thanks for the refresher, it worked with the Uegogo remote that came with my tripod. 😀 Fred in the Shed, you're the GOAT!

Was doing a search for a remote for my iPhone and came across this video. Super!!!!

Fantastic Product Review. I'll be getting one.

Secret Squirrel 🤣😂🤣😂 I wonder if his name is Cyril😊. You should put those Amazon Affiliate links to any of these little Handy Gadgets that you find Fred, you deserve to try make a few pennies from all the efforts your putting in making the vids. 👍👍👍

[@jeffwickermusic134]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I need! 😎👍

[@therixon]

Got one of these on its way, so thank you Fred!

[@therixon]

Hi Fred!....a bit delayed (work/home balance), but I've just got the chance to test it myself and, I must say, it's brilliant with Android too in all camera/video settings, so it's been a great purchase chap!

[@chrisnotap]

I suppose this is only good for the length of time you have the screen "on" for? What I mean is, If you placed it in your shed again and waited for 5 minutes, the screen turned off, it wouldn't work, right?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I Think it would work even if the screen went on standby as long as you had the camera app open.

[@chrisnotap]

@@CB-RADIO-UK I hope it works that way. I think I will purchase one. Thanks.

[@chrisnotap]

I just found this on Canadian Amazon....The Camkix Bluetooth Remote Shutter can wake your phone but it cannot activate your camera from a locked or asleep iPhone. You need to manually turn on your camera and set it to take photo or video.

[@MadMax-qy8gg]

Hi. Does anyone here know if I can command one remote to function on multiple mobile phones at the same time?

[@G0GCQ]

Great video. Thanks. Purchased from Amazon 👍🏻

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Useful gadget.

[@ZONDOdriving]

Thank you 😎

[@unofficialbeautyqueen6624]

This video was very helpful. If I wanted to open an app like Instagram or Facebook to take a photo, are you saying it won’t take the photo unless I use the official camera app? I hope i didn’t misunderstand.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi i did not try it other apps like Facebook. I think it will only work inthe phones camera app.

[@a1xeus]

We need one that controls zoom, shutter, and video / Cam selector.

nice wee bit of kit fred

[@xLoganWong]

Rechargeable battery? If so, how long does it last?

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi. No just a 2032 cell.

[@kirkhogan2688]

Do you have to have the phone on camera or video to work. Dosent seem to work unless you have it on camera or video Cant you click.it from a distant and start it , My phone has a lockon it after 30 sec, How do you take pics and videos with out having it already on camera or video

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi. No you need to be in photo or video mode. On the home screen it adjusted the volume for some reason.

[@kirkhogan2688]

@@CB-RADIO-UK oh it does that, thought it might turn on video from remote with.out going into the camera or video ...

[@beachman8106]

@@CB-RADIO-UK the reason it does that is because if voice control is turned on, when you are in the camera the command “turn volume down” will activate the shutter release. Outside of camera, that command will do what it says. Also in camera volume control switch will activate shutter release also. As Lenin said “everything is connected to everything else”.

[@andrewhounsome5969]

Been trying to pair mine for 20 minutes. The iphone recognised it but declined to pair with it. After turning Bluetooth off and on again, it ceased to recognise it.... Disappointing so far.....

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Sounds like your remote may have a problem ?

[@andrewhounsome5969]

@@CB-RADIO-UK I think so.... After 2 hours of trying to pair it, during which it several times became unrecognisable to my phone, plus even resetting my network settings, it just refused to pair. It's on it's way back to Amazon as we speak. I went back to my old Mooni remote shutter, which I thought had died but a new battery brought it back to life again and it paired immediately. Still the best - even thought you can't buy them any more.....

Hi Steve. Yes it makes starting and stopping the vid on the phone easy as you done have to touch the phone.
