CamRanger Mini

I recently bought the camranger mini and noticed something wasn’t working as I thought it was supposed to. I emailed support on a Saturday not expecting a response until Monday morning. I received a response a few hours later and we emailed back and forth a few times trying to figure out the issue until somewhat later in the night. Wasn’t expecting that! I don’t expect support teams to be up that late on these things but one of their support staff was. He emailed me back the next morning saying an update would be posted the next morning fixing the issue. Great support for sure The product itself so far has been wonderful for all of the commonly advertised reasons.

I’ve been using the CamRanger mini with my Canon 5D IV for real estate photography for the past few months and everything has worked exactly as expected. I used to shoot with a camera that had a flip out screen and knew I needed something like the CamRanger when I switched to the 5D since I wouldn’t be able to see the screen when the camera was placed in a corner (as it so often is). The ability to work from an iPad with a big bright screen and have control over many camera functions is amazing. Definitely worth every penny!

I shoot portraits and was excited about using this to let clients view images as we shot. I wasn’t thrilled that the mini wouldn’t work with laptops, but I had an iPad Mini 2 around and everything said they were compatible. Well, not so much. The app crashes and disconnects so often that I’ve given up trying to use it in shoots. It’s faster to eject my card and load images on the laptop. I’m debating now whether to sell the camranger mini and wait for the real thing later this year, or spend the money on a newer iPad. Either way, they should not advertise this as compatible with the iPad Mini 2.

I purchased camranger mini, downloaded this application, I was able to connect my tablet or iPhone to my camranger mini for 2 5 seconds then it will disconnect, I turned and on and off my camera and the camranger mini , cables , batteries are ok but it keeps on saying camera not connected. I reset it then my camera was connected again, then it will disconnect again. Application controls very slow to respond.
