Vello ShutterBoss

[@EdgarSrsBlog]

I called B&H this morning and spoke to a gentleman named Rob, he helped guide me to the right model for my Canon EOS 60D... B&H is truly a great place to shop!

[@WeatherWarriordotnet]

Vello is the same as Pearstone I guess. I bought a Pearstone ShutterBoss wired version for the Canon 7D. It didn't come with a manual, and I can't seem to find one anywhere online. I've played with it...but get an annoying three frames shot (same exposure, not bracketing). At least this video was a little better than just playing with it myself.

[@Afiplaysmusic]

Thanks. This was a good introduction to the Vello I bought years ago.

[@jerrysherman2743]

At 1:23 you said you were setting it for 3.5 hours. This looks like 3.5 minutes to me.

[@petitcheznous]

everything i bet

[@BandH]

@larpusXD No, I am sorry. There is currently no Vello ShutterBoss (or any other remote) compatible with the Panasonic LX7. Chuck

[@BandH]

@Antonio Rodriguez Yes, you have 2 options: B&H VERCN2 + B&H VERCWN2. Chuck

[@BandH]

The unit does not have an on/off switch. During normal use it should power down on its own after a few minutes of non-use (similar to a sleep mode). The only way it would constantly be working is if you set up a timer or interval shot with it. If you are not doing a timer or interval shot, and it depletes quickly you may have a defective unit. If so, please contact our customer service at [e-mail] - Yossi

[@RememberNineEleven]

The wired ShutterBoss II does have an on/off switch. Always turn your camera OFF before plugging and unplugging ShutterBoss. And it does not power down by itself when connected or unconnected.

[@BandH]

Most welcome. Thank you for watching and your active participation.

[@MrCbike]

i have a sony a55 camera and i was wondering if it would work on it and if you can set a time for it to take a pic say for time-lapse at night. thanks

[@BandH]

@Jurie van Dyk The remote will automatically go into standby when not used, there is no off button, and no need to remove the battery between shoots. When left on standby, it can last for up to 2 years on a set of batteries. As with any electronic device, it is highly recommended that you remove the batteries for long term storage. --Jim

What is on the camera flash clip ?? J. Payne

Please see the owner's manual for full details: www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/577163.pdf >Mark

[@BandH]

Rodrigo, please disregard our earlier response as it was incorrect. Sorry, but there is no Vello ShutterBoss that can active the Samsung NX-1000 at this time.

[@tonyarrj]

there is a model for Nikon D90?

[@Mogadouro]

but this timer remote have a mini usb connection? The image is not this time connection.

[@jrperida]

Hi, I have some reoccurring problems with the Vello Wireless ShutteBoss. I have the panasonic G10 so I had to buy the extra sub-mini cable for it. The remote works just fine with the cable attached to the camera but when it's attached to the wireless receiver the product doesn't function sometimes. I have both channels set right. But I'm just wondering there's anyway of troubleshooting this ?

[@RememberNineEleven]

The wired ShutterBoss II does have an on/off switch. Always turn your camera OFF before plugging and unplugging the ShutterBoss II. For timelapse set the Number of Frames from '1' to '----' ...... to make the intervalometer shoot more than one frame.

[@hzubovi1]

can I do a bracketed timelapse with this remote?

[@BandH]

Unfortunately, this remote does not offer a bracketed timelapse function.

[@michaelgreenley1174]

Would I be able to pair the wireless shutter boss with a wireless flash trigger (stacked)...say, on a 5D mkII?

[@BandH]

The receiver for the wireless ShutterBoss does not need to be on the camera?s hot shoe, it simply needs to be plugged into the camera?s accessory port. So, you could use the wireless ShutterBoss at the same time you have a flash on the hot shoe, or are using a radio trigger on the hot shoe. *Christina* [e-mail]

[@michaelgreenley1174]

B and H Awesome! Thanks for the info!

[@wizkid22]

OMG life saver!! I got one like 6 months ago and haven't tried using it till now. Lost the manual and fiddled with it for over an hour till I found this video THANK YOU

[@Randomstlhero]

So you can control your shutter speed with your camera, right?

[@pamkaster1120]

Please explain how to use the shutterboss to simply trigger the camera. I am not having any luck and don't know what I need to do.

[@BandH]

If you are having troubles with your ShutterBoss, I would suggest sending us an email: [e-mail]. In the email you would want to include what model of ShutterBoss you have (wired or wireless) and what camera you have. We would then be better able to trouble shoot what might be happening, and whether or not there are specific settings that need to be adjusted in your camera in order to use the remote. Christina- [e-mail]

[@jrperida]

well, i think it might be the receiver. Even though the transmitter & the receiver is set in the same channel, the receiver wont seem to work wirelessly with transmitter. The transmitter works just fine with the cable attached to it. I had it only working wirelessly once but then never worked again.

[@edwardgreenberg8298]

i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF i COULD USE THIS ON A sONY SLT-A77 TO TRIGGER THE SHUTTER IN MOVIE MODE SO i COULD CONTROL VIDEOS REMOTELY.

[@richardadelberg8961]

I’ve tried this all night with d750. It shows green on both units when I half press release button but shows red on full depression. Camera is set on mF as is lens. Camera not set for focus prior to release? Why no fire

[@BandH]

Please e-mail us: [e-mail] >Mark

[@MrTikalvideo]

Will this work with NIKON cameras?

[@BandH]

Yes! Check out the compatible ShutterBosses for Nikon here: bhpho.to/3I761ql

[@BandH]

Please contact the manufacturer at info[at]gradusgroup[.]com and they should be able to provide a manual for you. Thanks for watching.

[@Mogadouro]

Hi, this works with Samsung nx1000?

[@BandH]

Yes, the shutter speed would be set by your camera unless you are shooting in Bulb mode. If your camera is set to Bulb mode, then you set the exposure time on the remote itself.

[@CGNDocM]

As an update, I just received my Vello Shutterboss from B&H, and it's exactly as described - for a specialist in night landscape photography like me, this accessory was the lowest-cost yet most-functional accessory I could have used for exposures longer than 30 seconds on my Nikon D7000. Thanks B&H!

[@BandH]

If you could, please inform us which particular Vello Shutterboss you are having issues with so we may reply with the specific information for you (i.e. wired or wireless version, Nikon or Canon version etc) and we can reply with specific instructions for you. - Yossi

[@amazinggadgets6207]

That was a 3 minute 30 second delay you showed in the photo. Lol

[@Dusan56]

Ops.

[@basdfgwe]

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm got the Wired Nikon version - the only model information on there - or what looks like the model number is AZ1011. Thanks

[@mausball]

Why is it that almost every "nice" shutter release looks like a copy of the Nikon MC-36?

[@BandH]

There are two versions: Vello ShutterBoss Timer Remote for Canon Cameras with 3-Pin Connection - B&H # VERCC2 and the Vello ShutterBoss Timer Remote for Canon with Sub-Mini Connection - B&H # VERCC1. Marks. E-mail: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@Georgia4Low]

Will the Shutter Boss operate the camera in video mode?

[@BandH]

If the camera being used has an option to start video recording by depressing the camera's shutter button, then the Vello Shutterbosses could trigger the camera to begin recording in video recording mode. Not all cameras offer that option. If you like you may send an email to [e-mail] and indicate your camera model, and our agents there will be able to confirm if your camera has the ability or not. - Yossi

[@exploringnorthamerica904]

I just ordered mine today . I’m excited about it I’ve been looking at them for sometime. I’m an beginner/amateur photographer that is looking to improve my shots Of ⛈ storms and movement

[@altfurz]

Purchased the wired version for Canon. Paid for expedited shipping which I got. But when I went to use it, I had to keep pressure on the 3 pin connector with my finger to maintain a connection as it was too loose! B&H allowed the return which was great, but now I sit with no intervalometer and $30 bucks less in my pocket because I paid for expedited shipment on a product that didn’t work. So the bottom line is, the wired Vello product is a risky purchase for Canon owners. Hope this saves someone else some frustration and money!

[@WallyboisWoodworking]

can this be used for video mode on a d3200?

[@BandH]

No, you cannot use a remote such as the Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Nikon with DC2 Connection to start/stop the video mode on the Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera.

[@mixc8]

Can this be used with the Hasselblad H5D 40? I need it only for wireless shutter release.

[@BandH]

mixc8 If you are simply looking for a wireless remote shutter release for the Hasselblad H5D, you could look at the Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release for Canon sub-mini. It would be compatible with the H5D as well as Canon. *Christina* [e-mail] bhpho.to/Ri7BKk

[@mixc8]

B and H Thanks for getting back to me Christina, it dawned on me that I could also use my pocket wizard to trigger the shutter. So I called you guys on Sunday and ordered the right release cable for the H5D, according to my research that should do the trick.

[@BandH]

@geonerd The interval timer begins when then the shutter opens so the 5 second time would begin at the start of the 2 second exposure making it a 3 second interval. Hope that helps. Chuck askbh(at)bhphotovideo(dot)com

[@mohde7958]

WOW...i to sent them and in less than 24hours i got the manual in the email ....THANKS BHPhotoVideoProAudio

[@laurenkahan9529]

I've seen a lot of reviewers who say that it just stops triggering their camera all of a sudden. This happened to mine a few days ago. Both the receiver and remote are on, both lights turn red when I push the shutter release on the remote, but no picture gets taken. I usually use it on manual focus, but the focus even searches when I turn it to auto focus, so I can tell it's talking to my camera. I've tried changing the channels on both (from both being on 1, to both being on 2 or 4 and that doesn't work.) I've tried googling how to get it back to factory settings, thinking I may have inadvertently hit too many buttons accidentally between uses. (I have the wireless version not the Vello II), and can't find any information about resetting it. Now that I see more reviews of other people having the same issue, I'm wondering if it's just a flaw in the device? I thought I might ask on here just in case before I go buy another one. SUPER handy when it works!!

[@Dusan56]

What, what?

[@Alcibbumphotography]

We know it functions as an intervalometer. However, if we have exposure of more than 30 sec, let's say 60 shots of 2 minutes exposure each in Nikon D7000 , can we do that? Thanks

[@BandH]

The Vello ShutterBoss can do exposures from 1 sec up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. C h u c k askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@CGNDocM]

Product reviews like this are a big reason, even being from Canada, that I'm happy to shop with B&H. Keep up the great work!

[@jurievandyk01]

Hi All, I have just bought one, can anyone help me and tell me how you switch it off, I cant find it in the manual. Or do u have to remove the batteries ever time?

[@Dusan56]

I do remove batteries every time, but it shoots down by itself after certain period of the time. Since I use this device only once in blue month I don't want risk batteries leak.

[@geonerd]

I assume there is a momentary shutter speed mode as well? If the camera is in an AE mode, all it needs is a brief shutter press to fire. A parallel question: Does the unit subtract the selected shutter speed from the interval? If I have 2 second exposures and 5 second intervals, do I get a shot every 5 seconds or every 7? In short, I'd like the ability to shoot daytime AE exposures (~1/250, etc.) once every second. Thanks

[@mohde7958]

i bought a new ShutterBoss , i want to master it so where can i find the manual ?

[@basdfgwe]

I bought a Shutterboss several months ago, and I was disappointed that it didn't have an on/off switch. I'm having to manually pull out and re-insert the batteries, have I got this right or am I missing something ?

[@razorree]

Can i use intervalometer to engage continuous shooting (setting continuous on camera instead of bulb) for 20 seconds and delay/timer of few minutes ? (with sony a6000)

[@bhphoto2626]

No, that would not be possible. An intervalometer is designed to take a single exposure at a time. The only control you have is the length of the exposure, the interval between exposures, or the number of exposures are taken by the remote. However, each exposure is a single button press. For continuous photography usage needs, the shutter button would have to be held down or programmed to send a continuous signal, which the Shutterboss remote cannot do when working as an intervalometer.

[@BandH]

No, I am sorry. Remotes currently cannot be used to begin recording video capture. C h u c k askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@jinyingzhan927]

don't know what u r introducing. with your introduction, I even don't know how to release the triger...

[@adrivebywv]

I just got one. I was confused. I think this video may help though. We'll see lol

[@AnklepantsSkateZine]

The ShutterBoss is great... for a few days. Then, if yours is like mine, it will randomly stop triggering the camera to take photos! This is a great top-secret feature (my personal favorite), especially when you're attempting to shoot a time-lapse of something that can only be taken the day your ShutterBoss stops working. Brilliant! For $40 - $70, this hidden feature is a steal of a deal, especially for those who believe in quality products that should malfunction within several days for no apparent reason. Whoever at Vello came up with this handy-dandy feature is nothing short of a genius. The Vello ShutterBoss: A highly recommended tool for all your non-photography needs.

[@smeetshukla9237]

Can we set the shutter speed on Shutter Boss ?

[@BandH]

Yes, you can choose how long of an exposure you want. See minute 1:30 of the video. *Andrea

[@smeetshukla9237]

The video is quite not explanatory. Is there any way i can get more information on 'Long' ?. As of now Long and interval are doing the same job of giving intervals between 2 shots where as Long is not suppose to do that. Kindly suggest.

[@BandH]

See the user manual for more information, page 10 specifically for LONG operation: bit.ly/1WCnzy8 *Andrea

[@BandH]

Not all of them work as a flash trigger as well. The Vello FreeWave Fusion Wireless Flash Trigger & Remote Control for Canon SLR will finction as both. B&H # VERFWCMfr # RFW-C Dana G. askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@tonyarrj]

Tanks Chuck ! =)

[@keen2b]

futher more you failed to explain setting the intvl But don't worry I have yet to find any utube clips that exlaines a intervalometer, which is strange considering as theres plenty out there built the same?????

[@felixpelaez2859]

does it works as a flash trigger too?? like the Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Remote Shutter Release??

[@JamesEvans-ow1wc]

Could it set a delayed video-record-start on a A6300? (Movie mode)

[@DAVID50GOMEZ]

Will this work on the Sony DSC HX300?

[@jackbnmbl7]

Complete junk. It just beeps all of the time, won't stop. Maybe no compatible with D7200.

[@Ryan98391]

Can you use auto focus with it?

[@BandH]

+Ryan Williams It can as long as the camera or lens is set to Autofocus. In many cases it may be more beneficial to set the Autofocus as desired beforehand, then change the setting on the camera or lens to Manual focus. This prevents the camera from changing or hunting for focus when the shutter button on the ShutterBoss is pressed. *Andrea

[@toader0]

is this one works with nikon d5

[@lukhostens]

it does not work with canon eosDS

[@BandH]

+Luk Hostens - Vello offers versions of their Shutterboss remotes which are compatible with the Canon 3-pin and Canon Sub-mini connection types. If your model is the 5DS it would require the 3-pin version. Which particular model # remote are you in possesion of that you are not able to connect to your 5DS? If you reply we may be able to offer you an adapter cable to connect it. - Yossi

+B and H Which one do I require for a 5D Markiii ?

[@burtjohnson3848]

Very poor attempt at instructional video. This is just a sales pitch, nothing more. Too many steps skipped over and too much assumed.

Not really enough information for first time users. The instructions are also poor, they don't explain the different scenarios.
