Ngl, wireless is unfortunately unreliable in the field. Get the Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Canon N3 for $50. It handles bulb/intervals perfectly and wont drop signal like wireless.

yo! honestly, if ur looking to save some cash, i would suggest the Neewer LCD Timer Shutter Release Remote Control for Canon N3. i've used this exact one for macro and long exposures on my 7DII and it’s basically a steal at like $18. i mean, the build quality isn't "pro" or whatever, but it handles bulb mode and interval shooting like a champ. if u really want to try wireless without spending a ton, the Pixel RW-221/N3 Wireless Shutter Remote Control is another decent option for around $25. it’s pretty reliable, tho i still prefer the wired ones for field work cuz batteries always die at the worst time, right? stick with the cheap wired Neewer and spend that extra $30 on a better lens filter or something. it just works!! gl!

Quick question - are you mostly standing right by ur tripod or doing stuff from a distance? N3 ports are AMAZING cuz they actually lock, so they dont pop out! Reliability is key for those long exposures. • Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch - Seriously bulletproof, no batteries needed, but very basic.
• Pixel TW-283 N3 Wireless Timer Remote Control - Fantastic for interval shooting, tho wireless can be finicky. Let me know ur setup!

Just catching up on the thread and it looks like everyone is leaning towards wired for reliability, which I totally agree with. Wireless is cool until the battery dies or a signal drops right in the middle of a 4-minute exposure, which is a nightmare when you're doing landscape work. If you're really worried about durability and want to stay official, you should look at the Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote Controller. It's basically the bigger brother to the RS-80N3 mentioned earlier. It handles the intervals and bulb mode perfectly and since its Canon, the build quality is top tier. It's pricey, but its the one you want if you dont want to worry about it breaking in the field. On the flip side, if you want something versatile but still reliable, the Hahnel Captur Remote Control and Flash Trigger for Canon is a solid choice. It works as both a wireless trigger and a wired one if you plug it directly into the 7DII, so you get the best of both worlds. I usually keep a basic JJC S-C2 Wired Remote Shutter Release for Canon in my bag too. It's super cheap and doesnt even need batteries to just fire the shutter, so its basically fail-proof for long exposures.

Regarding what #5 said about "Same setup here, love it"

• I honestly wish I could say the same, but I have been dealing with this exact same headache for about three months now and still have zero answers. It is incredibly frustrating to be out in the field for a long exposure and have the gear fail just as the light hits the landscape.
• remote ports are super sensitive so you gotta be careful
• many third party options have flimsy housing that wont last
• some cables are way too short for a proper macro setup I am basically stuck at a standstill because I dont want to keep throwing money at remotes that just end up in the junk drawer. I have even considered trying to solder my own custom switch for my DIY bracket but I am terrified of shorting the 7DII port.

Same setup here, love it

Bump - same question here
