![]() I do like that you can add additional receivers for $69.99 although I question the reasonability of that price structure. The Transmitter / Receiver kit typically retails for about $139.99, less than any manufacturer's radio system, but expensive compared to other alternatives. I found that the Transmitter and Receiver were paired out of the box, but you can force a pairing by using the buttons on the units. Hahnel uses DCM (digital channel matching) so while there are multiple channels, you don't get to specify which channels you are using. When using the Transmitter to fire a remote camera, a half press engages the AF and metering and a full press trips the shutter. That said the system is quick to set up and it gets the job done with a minimum of pain and hassle. There is a comprehensive PDF manual online which is good as the unit I received for testing had no documentation in it at all. This makes the system very easy to use and a good thing too because documentation is sparse. Since some manufacturers use different connectors for different cameras, mostly to be annoying I think, it's good that Hahnel includes all the cable connections for a given manufacturer in the box. Each kit comes with 4 AA batteries and the appropriate cables for your system. ![]() Hahnel has offerings for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus/Panasonic. You purchase the CAPTUR kit according to your camera. This scenario is very popular with sports photographers who want to set a remote camera above the basketball net, or above the pool in a swim competition and trigger the camera from a safe distance so as not to interfere with the sport. The Receiver can host a hotshoe flash, and also be cabled to a remote camera. In the default configuration, the Transmitter goes on the camera in the hot shoe and when the shutter trips, the radio signal triggers the remote with a range of up to 100m. It works like most transmitter receiver systems. The basic CAPTUR kit contains the CAPTUR Transmitter and CAPTUR Receiver. To help avoid conflicts with other transmitters, the Hahnel system uses Digital Channel Matching so you can pair your devices on channels in the crowded 2.4GHz band different from other users. Modules consist of the Module - Timer unit, the Module - Pro and the Module - IR. Now you start with the Transmitter / Receiver set and add modules as you need them. In the past if you wanted flash triggering or remote camera triggering that was one set of kit, and if you wanted timers and intervalometers, that was a different piece, the Giga T Pro II. What Hahnel has done with the CAPTUR is to build a modular system. The Giga T Pro II has been superseded by the CAPTUR system. It worked very well, but I was often perturbed because the user interface was not very intuitive and I always had to go back to the manual when some time had passed without me using it. Pressing the shutter release button halfway will activate autofocus, while a full push will trigger the shutter to capture an image.For a number of years, my go to wireless remote system was a Hahnel Giga T Pro II. It offers simple controls and a large, easy-to-read LCD screen for hassle-free operation. The Captur works on the 2.4 GHz frequency for reduced radio interference and an impressive operating range of up to 328'. Additionally, Digital Channel Matching (DCM) ensures quick and easy pairing of other receivers and triggers if you choose to expand your setup. Its interval timer is fully programmable and offers two timing sequences, as well as selectable delay times. The module features single, continuous, and bulb exposure modes, allowing you to choose from a huge range of exposure times with the continuous and bulb settings. Use this kit with the transmitter you already have, or purchase one separately.Īs an alternative to wireless operation, the system can function in wired mode, and this kit includes the C1 and C3 cables for connecting both the receiver and timer module to the camera. Additional receivers are available for firing even more DSLRs. This bundle enhances your Captur remote shutter release system by providing a AA battery-powered interval timer module, as well as a receiver for mounting on a camera. ![]() Capture long exposures & time-lapse photo sequences remotely and wirelessly, thanks to the hahnel Captur Timer Kit for Canon digital SLR cameras.
