Photo Remote: Wireless Camera Control App

Control your camera's shutter release, intervalometer, and more wirelessly with Photo Remote, a mobile app connecting via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

What is Photo Remote?

Photo Remote is a mobile application designed to remotely control the camera on your smartphone or tablet. It provides a range of useful camera tools and advanced controls to enhance mobile photography.

Once launched, Photo Remote creates a direct wireless connection to your device's camera via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This allows you to effectively turn your smartphone or tablet into a wireless remote shutter release. You can trip the shutter from a distance without introducing handshake blur.

Beyond basic shutter release capabilities, Photo Remote also offers more advanced camera controls. This includes an intervalometer for timelapse photography, long exposure and bulb mode, self timers, and more. You can precisely dial in camera parameters like ISO, white balance, exposure compensation, and focus mode.

The app provides both basic and professional-level control over your mobile camera in a user friendly interface. Whether you need to squeeze the shutter from afar or want to fine tune your camera's response, Photo Remote aims to be the go-to mobile camera remote and toolkit.
