Mobile Controller Remote

I loved this product but it started having issues connecting via Bluetooth until one day it stopped connecting all together. I was having to turn it off and on 10+ times before it would connect but now no matter how many times it’s turned off and on it won’t connect

Was looking for a remote to use with my phone for taking hunting videos. This little fella gets it done. My Motorola G Power takes great videos so why buy an action camera. After setting the phone onto a tripod in my deer blind the first day I found that this phones camera as most other phones has a default sleep time. After 90 seconds of inactivity the camera screen sleeps and phone display goes blank. This was problem #1. Solved this by downloading the app ( OPEN CAMERA ) and using it to take videos. Second day in the blind and problem #2. Although the camera now stayed on with no time out it would not dim with my phones manual screen dimmer. Can’t have a bright camera screen blaring back into my face while trying to stay hidden in a doghouse blind. Well, dug into the OPEN CAMERA settings later that night and found the setting to allow phones dimmer to dim camera screen. Just a matter of enabling it. Day three, in the blind my phone is on the tripod, open camera is running in dimmed mode and a couple nice doe walk out. I reach to tap the record button and “ you guessed it “ they spotted the movement and are now three county’s away. This is where the remote comes in. Now after setting everything up I sit in the back of my blind with remote in hand. The instant is see deer, a press of the button starts my video. Now nothing is perfect I guess and although this remote works great, paired it once very easily with my phone and it instantly connects to phone every time by just turning it on. It does have one itsy bitsy hiccup. After connecting and resting for several minutes with no activity it too goes into a type of sleep mode. I believe this is probably built into it to save battery life. This is fine with me and the fix is no problem at all. Simply press the button once, camera does not begin recording but now the remote is awake again. Press it the second time and video is running. Of course to stop any recording just push the button again. The clip is automatically saved to your phone. The distance between remote and phone is very good and close to what is advertised. I tested it to roughly 35 feet and it worked every time. I like the holder for hanging around my neck. Works great for what I’m using it for. It came with one CR2032 battery installed and a spare, not bad for $6 bucks. Now I’m after videos. If it’s stills your after, well that’s just a matter of choosing picture’s instead of video in the camera app. Each press of the button will give you a picture.

Works great. Only took a couple seconds to pair with iPhone the first time. Not much lag when taking pictures, it pretty much snaps the picture right when you push the button. Some other remotes have half a second or more so you can’t capture “the decisive moment” but not this one. The lag is so short you don’t notice it.I also like the lanyard. It has a quick release. When released, the remote has a small ring that slips over a finger so you won’t drop it. Very clever.
