Helicon Remote

I think features in app is good but I have problem with adding camera, I try using my Canon 5D MkII with WFT, the app show my Camera but can’t connect ... All my devices have latest firmware!

All the facility for remote shooting including burst, stacking and bracketing. It works very nicely and, when compared to hardware that does no more than trigger the shutter and provide an intervalometer, the premium price is not too bad. This app puts complete control including live view on the screen of my mini ipad. At least one person complains it is difficult to connect the app and camera. What might be overlooked is that the app itself does not make the connection to the camera. First, the wifi connection must be made between camera and ipad or phone. It is a network setup matter. Once that connection is made, the app will recognize and connect itself to the camera. You will be very frustrated if you expect the app to set up the wifi LAN between ipad or phone and the camera. It won’t because it can’t.

App is a little slow when shooting with my Nikon D600, plus one thing not mentioned when I downloaded (and spent $60+ on a wu-1b) the app is that you need to buy the pro version to use a lot of the settings, like raw and bracketing. I was ok with this but there no light meter and “live” view doesn’t show what the photo will be exposed like. So for me it just didn’t work, love the idea of it and if they add a light meter and make it run faster I would buy it again.

This app is a poor iOS port. Mostly it’s seemed that they use existing codes from other platforms in a way for iOS. The file management is horribly bad. Also, it is unusable on iPhone X because of lack of compatibility of it’s UI with iPhone X form factor. When you see the poor quality of app from the perspective of it’s price point (for premium license) you will be hardly unsatisfied.

I love this app on my iPad but it is unusable on the Xs. You CANNOT click the menu button on the top right of the screen. I don’t know if they put it too far over or what but it is in an untouchable area on X models. I can’t get to any of the settings on my phone thanks to this. Please update guys!!!!
