Camranger woes
July 5, 2016

I bought a Camranger device for remote control of my Nikon D7000 DSLR, from my Android cell phone. The best I can say is "it works, sort of."

My goal was to mount my camera on a tripod close to a well known bird perch, and then to take closeups of the bird when it arrives. But the app continually loses wireless connection to the camera, even when I'm hidden only 30' feet away. Even when I'm lucky enough to have a connection when a bird finally arrives it takes 2-3 seconds for the app to successfully tell the camera to click the shutter. But by that time the bird is usually gone. I've made some good photos but it's not worth the hassle. I do better with a portable blind and a manual shutter release device connected to a cable.
