Does this only work pointing to the front of the camera (EOS 7D)? What other remotes will work from the back of the camera? {HELP}

This remote is only InfraRed, therefore only works pointing directly to the front, what you need is an RC/RF remote shutter trigger like this one http://www.amazon.com/Aputure-Coworker-Wireless-Shutter-Replaces/dp/B002KDVRAM/ Also have a google for MaxStone

It works from all sides, as it's wireless, not infrared.......Try the RC6. There's a bunch of video on youtube.

http://www.eos-magazine.com/articles/remotes/canonrc6.html by design, Canon put the remote control sensor in the front area of the camera. i believe all of the canons are like that. if you are shooting from the back, some use wired "http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164276-REG/Canon_2476A001_Remote_Switch_RS_80N3.html"i just peep my sensor over and trigger it :)

yes, just in front since it's infra red. any wired remote will work from the back. not sure if there are any radio or bluetooth available but this i think will also work from the rear.

I don't have the answer to this question because I gave the remote as a gift. Sorry

Yes it does. I have the same remote and didnt think it will work with anything other than my old XTi. But realized it works great with my 60 D and my new 7D.

it will work. for the simple reason that this remote is attached to the electronics of the camera. the other remote will work as well independently.happy shooting :-)

Check out the wireless remote for the Canon 40D and other D series models made by Accessory Power Professional Series CANON RS-80N3 Equivalent Wireless Remote For EOS-3, 1v HS/1v, 1D-series, 1Ds-series, 5D-series, EOS 7D 10D, 20D, 30. It looks similar to the Vivitar (It has the same plastic remote and receiver bodies!) but is priced cheaper at $34.99 on Amazon! I've had mine for almost a year and I've had no problems with it. Like the Vivitar, make sure that the remote and receiver are in sync when you first use it. When you're not using it for a long period of time, make sure you take out the battery from the receiver, so you don't have a dead battery when you use it again.

I have tried it twice and the remote did NOT have to be pointed at the camera. In fact, I attached camera to my helmet and strapped ermine to my left wrist.

With newer 2012 + cameras yes. Still a bit buggy on my 7D. Works fine on my 5D3 and eos -M

Put your camera where you can change it from single shot to single and remote and as long as facing camera o.k. but too away from camera as far as angle the infrared will not see it and therefore not work. Simple item. Corded remote is a whole different situation Hope that helps. Elliot N. Herzel or e.herzel@yahoo.com.

I just tried this several different ways. Facing the camera from about ten feet away, I was able to hold the remote behind my back and point it in any direction and activate the record on the camera. This remote is not IR like a TV remote so it is not directional.

did you get any info on the Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control for use with the Canon 7D

I have the Canon EOS 60D, and it works perfectly. I would assume it would work just as well on any EOS cameras.

Hi Doug. I have never been able to get the remote to activate the Video on my Canon 60D. I have tried numerous times in numerous configurations, but doesn't respond. Hope this helps. -bob-

I don't know if it does on the newer Canon Eos 60D, because I do not have one. But it works perfectly on my canon 7D. I love it!

It's a great remote, but as far as the specific camera, it's probably best to check the manual of the camera which in the past they've all been available on-line. I have a top Nikon D800, but that needs a receptor placed on the camera for a remote to work.

Hello Mary, i have a Nikon D7100, the remote works perfectly and really it is very easy to use. Rgds

The remotes that work on the Canon 60D camera are Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3 and Wireless Remote Controller RC-6. These are the two that I could find on the compatibility list of remotes listed.
