Problemlos. Mehrwert für meine EOS 5D Mk II

Ich nutze App und Hardware seit Jahren ohne Probleme. Bin froh, dass es über alle iOS/iPadOS Versionen keine Themen gab.
Aktuell nutze ich sie auf einem iPad Air3 und iPhone X.
Das ist ein echter Mehrwert für meine inzwischen in die Jahre gekommene Kamera.

Great for Weddings

Used this before the CamRanger 2 came out. Loved it but the 2 has great new features faster speed.

Awesome on iPad

I've had my CamRanger for many years. So this review is really regarding the original Cam Ranger.

Over all I like it. Tech Support was good to me and responded quickly back when I was having an issue connecting to my Canon Ti3. So far it has work without issue on my 7D MK2.

Because I hadn't used it since up grading my iPhone, it needed to register again. I was in the field and wasn't able to register via cellular which was frustrating at the time.

On a iPad the app is great.

You can zoom in by double tapping. Nice for tweaking in the focus. Pinch zoom would be nice, perhaps this is more of a limitation of the camera than the app. Haven't been able to do rapid shooting, only allows single shot.

I would like to try out Cam Ranger 2, on day perhaps.

This is garbage

I invested nearly $450 in camranger and pthub360 and was managing to use it with on/off problems with connectivity and threading issues in app. However, the recent app update is horrible and probably not tested at all. I can no longer enter numbers and configure any of my timelapse configuration on tripod tab in the app. Nearly wasted 45 minutes on field doing all sort of things. Guys don’t buy or invest in this. I wished I had some sort of disabled auto update of my app on my iPhone.
