Product Description
Product Description
The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote is a must-have tiny infrared wireless remote controller for compatible Canon EOS DSLRs. Measuring only .25" x 1.25 x 2.5" (6.5 x 32 x 63.5mm), the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote easily fits in even a small pocket.
Unlike the Canon RC-5 Wireless Remote, the RC-6 will operate in either 2-second delay mode or will instantly take a shot (like the Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote). Point the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote toward the front of the camera (line of sight only) within 16' (5m) and take the shot when you are ready. Or use it to start a video.
Using a wireless remote release eliminates camera motion related to pressing the shutter release - and allows you to be a subject in your photo. Being able to stay near your subject to assist in composition (or ease stress) is another benefit.
The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Runs on one CR-1220 lithium button battery (included). The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote is a very useful device - and having no cord is great. You can even put it on your key ring.
Compatible with the following:
- Canon EOS M
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel T4i / 650D
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3i / 600D
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel T2i / 550D
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i / 500D

Pretty small device (the main picture in the corner isn't far from being actual size!) but does what it needs to. Has a little switch on the back which toggles between immediate shot and a two-second delay (check that your camera supports it) which works a treat on my 550D.
Comes with its own little pouch which can attach to the camera strap.
Cool little device...
also, it can be used to start/stop video recording, assuming you've put the camera into video mode first :)

This is a great piece of kit for what it is and for the price.
Seems like a few people ordered this without understanding what it does or how it does it, so before buying read on,..
This is an infrared remote control (not wireless) so you have to point it directly at the receiver on the camera, which on most compatible cameras is on the front of the camera near or on the grip.
It works like your infrared TV remote by line of sight (although it may bounce off walls if you are inside).
It is unlikely therefore to work if you are behind the camera, if the lens is obstructing the sensor on the camera and definately will not work through walls or other obstructions.
Being infrared it is also affected by sunlight (which contains UV and IR light) so the range is reduced outside.
It is also only compatible with newer model Canon digital SLR cameras so check your manual before you buy to make sure your camera is compatible.
This remote is really ideal for taking pictures of yourself or you in a group to save you pressing the button, then running in front of the camera to take up a pose! Or taking shots from a tripod where you can point the remote at the front of the camera to save you pressing the button and introducing camera shake.
For the price, buy it and keep it in your bag for when you need it. For other applications, buy a more expensive wireless or cable remote...
Update
Had this remote for some time now and continues to work well, I can also confirm it works fine with a Canon 5D MKiii

Great for self portraits
I use this with my 450d and have never had any kind of problem. You could actually use your camera without it (by using the 2 second delay function) for long exposure night shots... Read more

Handy and cool accessory
This works fine, but one word or warning, it does not have a very good vertical angle of sight. If the camera is a low lower the range is limited, so drop your hand to be... Read more

Cheap for a reason - not a Canon product. Mine doesn't work.
I can't get this device to work at all with an EOS 7D (the product description says it should be compatible). Read more

Love it
Cheapest photo accessory you'll buy but also the most useful one. It helped expand my creative possibility to a wider range of shoots. Totally recommend after about 3 months use.

Perfect for Portraits
For the money you cannot go wrong with this. Beware though, that this only works if the RC is in direct sight of the IR receiver. Read more

brilliant gadget
I cannot recommend enough that you but the branded remote as it is much more reliable , I have had cheaper un named remotes that only last a short time.

Minute remote
It's tiny. But it works well.
Comes complete with a battery and a pouch that can be fitted onto your camera strap.
Great little product at the price.
