Do you have to be standing in front of the camera for it to work? Does standing behind or to the side works as well? Thanks!

will work front, back, left, right, top, bottom...about 300ft radius will work.

It works 360°! This trigger is based on radio frequency, so unless there is a significant obstruction, you can trigger it from every direction.

Stand anywhere you want within a reasonable distance. It's a radio signal and can communicate with the receiver 360 degrees.

You can stand around the camera, not necessary to be in front of the camera, to shot a picture. Mine only worked for several times, and is dead. I have to pay mailing fee by my self for sending it to the company. It may not be worth to me.

This is a radio controlled device, not a (IR) device which means you need not be standing in front of the camera in order for it to work. My Vello has been working flawlessly for over 2 year now and is the best for the buck.....

I don't do much portraiture but you can shoot completely live from the LCD screen. In playback, photos taken vertically (portrait) will be displayed right-side-up however you hold the camera (in other words, it's like a smartphone display, whether you hold it sideways or normal, the top of your image will always be on the top of the view screen.) I hope this helps!

Depending on what you are using it for. I have found that if I need to use the camera pointed in an upward position, it doesn't work very well. Your camera is secure, but the weight of the camera seems to shift it downward. If you just need to go straight or downward to keep things still, it works fine.

I believe you can swing the camera to your back. If left by your side, it would swing to your front if you bend over. Gravity wins. To keep the camera at your side, you would need to rig a snap to clip the camera to a belt loop. This of course would defeat the ease of swinging the camera up for quick photos.

OK, I hooked the camera up and it is not in "reverse mode", it is not like you are looking in the rear view mirror, how do you swith it to be like you are looking in the rearview mirror?

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

I can't say I tried it any other way. I use the remote when I want to be in the picture with others, have the camera turned to us so we can see ourselves in the lens and then I clicked to remote...so at that point I was in front of the phone. If I am missing your question, please clarify and I'll try again.

You have to focus by moving the camera back and forth. Focus ring doesn't work. Also have to get close to object.

Does the remote need to be pointed directly toward the camera, or I could I discretely signal the shutter release with my hands behind my back for example? Hoping to avoid running back and forth for large group photos.

it doesn't no; if you are concerned with it interfering with other optics, the camera actually rotates in the mounting housing so it can be mounted either top, side, or bottom and still get the picture right side up.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

No...im sure you can jerry rig it to work somehow. But they way in swivels it only work with a regular camera in the right position. you cant take pics the long way because the arm will give out and swivel so the camera is on the bottom. it won't hold it upright on the side. if that makes sense

No, it works from the front and back as long as you point it directly at the camera

Honey it doesn't connect. It's a slave. Pop up your flash on your camera or connect your hotshoe to your camera. Turn both on. And shoot. This baby will pick up a flash from behind your back even. I tried it lol it's very sensitive! I love mine! Matter of fact IM gonna order another right now while IM thinking about it! find me on Facebook if you need to talk more.

yes if the camera has power, I powered mine with the back up lights so it will not function that way.

Camera is on top side of device, thus a different angle. Also, this device can shut off its screen making it more covert. Be sure to get one which has audio enabled

there is a little button on top next to the flash , it looks like a little > but the point is up right. u click it over and the flash should work if not then u have a problem. I have had mine camera for more then 8 years, never had a problem with it ., best camera I ever bought. Good luck
