Work Great for Self Portraits

I actually love this. I’ve used it consistently for years to take self portraits and I still have no regrets. I use it with a Nikon D300. This turns my phone into a remote shutter and viewing screen so I can see things from the camera’s perspective without getting up and down. It’s the most useful things I’ve ever bought for my creative/fashion self portraits. It’s also really fun to set up a photobooth for parties to let people take their own pictures

No Mac app for MacBook sucks….

Have to find something else

an essential piece of camera hardware

CamRangerMini is just as useful, and now even more portable, than the original CamRanger from years ago

However, the new software interface on the iPhone is simply not as intuitive or user-friendly, in terms of visual layout and button sizes compared to the first generation original CamRanger software

I would absolutely love to see the ability to return to the button, the size and layout of the original CamRanger software, because as it stands right now it’s taking me longer to navigate daily projects on the iphone iteration of this app

Minor software issues, manageable hardware issues

I can work with the occasional hardware issues. Communication issues happen. The thing that bothers me most is that when you are taking photos off of the device and onto the phone or tablet they are randomly ordered and do not auto rotate. I'm sure this could be fixed with some time. If those issues were resolved, I think it would be a five star app.

Did I really pay 200 bucks for this?

I bought the mini because it seems they discontinued the regular CamRanger. The next step up is the very expensive camranger2. Being a compelled hobbyist photographer, the mini fell in my “doesn’t hurt wallet too much” range.

I got this software and it constantly keeps disconnecting. Also, the screen is black. On my cameras view finder, you can clearly see the image, but on my phone, it’s just black. I can oddly view my memory card but when I go to capture, even though the screen is still black, the app immediately disconnects forcing me to have to disconnect the WiFi and reconnect to the mini. I’m extremely frustrated and disappointed.
