I thought this device would be appropriate for use with a smartphone affixed to a spotting scope mounted on a tripod for bird photography. It did exactly what I expected. When used, this device eliminates all of the jitters that could occur if done manually, no matter how gentle the touch. On my Android smartphone I could make use of a voice activated shutter release if I desired. Speaking loud enough to the device for a pic could also frighten off wildlife that I or someone else might be trying to get imagery of. I am quite satisfied with its performance. It has given me the ability to obtain some fantastic still and video images of my local hummingbirds.It was a no brainer getting the thing up and running almost immediately. I didn't have any issues with the size of the unit or the size of its buttons. When used, the different sized button for the different type of device formats seems to be totally logical. You don't have to look at the thing to use it. It's a two button gizmo, you use one button or the other. I did notice however that the Os button would zoom in when being used with my Samsung/Android smartphone. I checked it out with Iphone 6,7 and it worked just fine. I did not check to see if the android button would zoom the Iphone camera though. I also checked it with A galaxy 8 and a LG running on android a few or more levels above what my Samsung is operating with. I am using the CamKix blue tooth shutter release on a Samsung Rugby Pro which is operating with Android 4.1.2. I know it's only supposed to work from 4.2.2 and higher or so it was thought. I'm glad that I lucked out in that regard. Once again I am more than satisfied with this product. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their smartphone/bluetooth camera photography.I tried to put this review on CamKix's website nothing doing. I guess that's why there's only two reviews on their sight too. To bad for CamKix.

To be honest, I did not intend to buy this remote control, I never thought I would need or want one and actually, I did not even know they existed. I was buying a tripod and this was a suggested add-on by Amazon.Since it was so inexpensive and since I am intrigued by technology, I bought it with the thought that if I did not like it, I would give it to one of my kids. My kids take selfies, I do not but, on the occasions where I have taken "selfies", they were more "groupies". When I hike with friends, I'll sometimes take a group shot which necessitates my setting up the phone camera, turning on the selfie timer, and jumping back into the picture. One issue is that if the phone is far away to get the whole group into the shot, I cannot see the timer countdown. This remote eliminates the need for the timer.I opened the package, turned the remote on with the slide switch on its side, and opened the BlueTooth settings on my Samsung Galaxy 9 phone. The remote showed up waiting to be paired, I clicked "pair", and that was all that was required to set it up.I opened the camera app on my phone, placed it about 8 feet away, looked towards the lens, smiled, pressed the button on the remote, and there I was in all my selfie glory in my photo gallery.So easy to set up, so easy to use and it's a convenience I never even thought of having. For the price, you can't afford to not have one of these in your toolbox.
