Pros and Cons? On the plus side, this is a very handy unit for those who can use the facility to shoot and view remotely.

There is no battery life predicted by the company for the units, but having extra on hand, in my experience, is a must. Also, spare AA batteries are a must for extended work times. Note that the connections supplied with the unit do not include the AV cable for Live View cameras-you should use the one you got with your camera kit. There are no markings indicating button functions, so take time to learn them when you first get the unit with instruction pamphlet in hand. The shutter release trigger is on the upper right. I tested it around a corner and on two levels of a house and it worked, as it did from about 20 yards away from the camera. The 3.5” LCD can be used to view from a claimed 180 feet away. You can adapt the LCD unit to save images, play them back, check battery levels on both units, and even adjust screen brightness.

But overall, an hour with the unit and some patience will get you through. Speaking of buttons, there is no on-screen menu to guide you through the button functions and the nomenclature in the instruction pamphlet for each is somewhat obscure, and there are no markings on the LCD viewer either, so it can take some time to navigate at first. You can set up as many as four cameras in the different channels of the unit, which you toggle through with a button on the unit. Powered by four AA batteries in each unit (there is also a Mini USB power input available for both units), the company claims you can fire the shutter from up to 180 feet away! While I did not walk that far from the camera during my tests, I did walk about 20 yards away and it worked fine, and even set the camera in a room a level above another and shot around a corner and up a staircase with success. Note that the AV cable is not supplied with the unit. You mount this unit in your camera’s hot shoe and attach the remote trigger cord in the small opening and the AV cable in the yellow-rimmed socket, and then to your camera’s inputs. Overall, the on-camera unit supplies about a 35˚ angle of view, though on close-up shots you do have to take parallax into consideration due to the offset of the taking lens from the hot shoe-mounted unit’s “eye.” While the Live View setup is more precise as to framing, you learn soon enough, as I did with a Canon EOS 5D for a test, that you can make out the actual framing depending on the lens focal length used after a few test shots.

The latter is set for cameras with Live View systems and actually transmits the video signal to the other part of the setup, the 3.5” LCD remote shutter release and video screen unit.ĭon’t have a camera with Live View? No problem, as within the transmitter is a small CMOS sensor that transmits the video signal to the viewer. The Inspire View is a radio signal transmitter with a contained CMOS sensor that sits in the camera’s hot shoe and connects with a remote cord to the remote shutter release tripper in the camera connections and a video cord to the camera’s video out socket.

The boxed weight including controller, charger and manuals is around 11kg.īeetleCam: Length 34cm, Width 33cm, Height 30cm.Here in this Hähnel supplied illustration you get a good idea of the way the unit works, setting up a signal relationship for both remote viewing and shutter release.Īvailable now for Nikon and Canon D-SLRs (see the list at click on the Hähnel link) for about $299 (street), the setup is composed of two units. The BeetleCam (including batteries but excluding the main camera) weighs around 9kg. Please contact us to discuss your requirements further. If you want to control your camera settings remotely then there may be a custom configuration that fulfils your needs. In a basic set-up you therefore need to set your camera up before deploying the BeetleCam. This allows you to see what the BeetleCam sees at a range of up to 500m.Īll BeetleCams come with the ability to fire the camera using the same controller that is used to control the buggy.

We provide a video transmitter and receiver system that allow you to see the HDMI output from a mirrorless camera on a portable monitor. BeetleCams are supplied with a shutter release cable compatible with Canon, Nikon or Sony cameras (other cables may be available on request). There is no minimum size limit so smaller DSLRs or mirrorless cameras may also be used. Cameras such as the Canon 5D mk IV or Sony A7 III fit perfectly.

Large cameras such as a Canon 1DX or Nikon D4 do not fit inside the camera housing. Most regular-sized DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are supported.
