10 Best selling Camera Remotes on Amazon
1. Canon BR-E1
Wireless remote control/Camera Remotes for the latest Canon cameras
Compatibility: EOS R , EOS RP, EOS M6 Mark II, M50, EOS M200, EOS 6D Mark II, EOS 90D, EOS 77D, EOS Rebel T7i, EOS Rebel SL2, EOS Rebel SL3, EOS 250D, EOS 800D, EOS 2000D, Power Shot G5 X Mark II, Power Shot G7 X Mark III, Power Shot SX70 HS | Wired/wireless: wireless | Wireless range: 16ft / 5m
This is the latest of Canon’s wireless controllers/Camera Remotes, and unlike earlier models that used infrared, the BR-E1 uses Bluetooth to link up to your camera without the need for cables. It is compatible with a range of more recent Canon best-sellers including the mirrorless EOS RP and the Rebel SL3 DSLR. You do need to pair up the camera and remote before you start, but this is a relatively painless process. There are separate aufofocus and release controls which can prove useful – plus zoom buttons if used with a compatible Canon compact.

Bypassing the usual need for multiple connector plugs to suit different camera models, the infrared RC-6 works with many recent Canon cameras, from the EOS 800D, Rebel T7i, EOS 80D, 5D Mark IV, and many older EOS M models. Since Canon DSLRs only tend to have an IR receiver at the front of the camera, built into the hand grip, you can’t operate the camera from behind without Camera Remote. But the RC-6 is particularly useful for self-portraits, with a range of five meters and a two-second self-timer delay. The addition of a switch on the back panel also offers immediate shutter release. The main button is only a one-stage switch though, so you can’t activate autofocus and light metering in advance.
