watch out!!
I tried this with my old Canon 7D and it bricked the camera! Now it won't turn on with an "Error 70", and Magic Lantern logs a crash report about an invalid value that could only have been set when I tried connecting the camera to the app. Be very careful before you plug in!!
You won’t be disappointed
All you need to do to get a great stack is follow the camera setup instructions!
Remote Photography
I use the Helicon Remote on a Nikon D850 to photograph Hummingbirds wirelessly and it works perfectly.
You can set your camera to silent mode and not disturb the birds, the burst feature works well. I have not used the stacking feature as yet.

Great App… Wi-Fi connectivity issues
Great tool for focus stacking! Works well …. when working. Has difficulty staying connected, or even connecting, to Wi-Fi on my iOS devices. Fortunately it now can be teathered to the iOS devices, but would be nice to have the Wi-Fi working properly.
Wi-Fi Connect Too Difficult
Linking my Canon R5 by Wi-Fi to Helicon Remote on my iPhone proved impossibly difficult. When this process is as simple as connecting, let’s say, Bluetooth headphones, it’ll be time to reconsider purchasing.
Helicon remote
Paid for a lifetime license. The evaluation software dose’nt give the code for activation
Works perfectly
Works as advertised.
Great for focus stacking
This is a great software for focus stacking. Works perfectly with my Canon R5. You set the closest focus point, the farthest and the software automatically(you can specify manually if desired) the number of shots and move the focal point automatically. And you see you have live preview on your iOS device, which is great, especially on iPad because it’s much easier to see than on the back of camera.
Keep up the good work!

Does not support Sony with iPhone
So iOS app only supports WiFi, and Helicon Sony support does not include WiFi support. So bit of a bust for me.
No longer works
Updated the app and is now just a blank screen. Running iOS 15.2. May as well delete. Worthless.
