You made a lot of good points here

Nice review. Very helpful for anyone considering buying the device or only interested like me.

No it only works with a 40D and 50D, and the software comes with those cameras. Check out my review at cameralabs . com.

Does it work with an XTI cannon?What software you use while taking picture and been transfer to ur computer?

Yes you can just use it for remote control of the settings if you like, and just save the images to the card. Please check out my full review at cameralabs . com – I think you’ll find it useful.

Hi There, this is a very interesting device that might be useful for high level photography that I do. I have the camera mounted on top od a 23m pole and it is remotely controlled using a wireless link. Currently though, I don’t have any opportunity to change my exposure whilst it is up there. I am not interested in wireless file transfer, Is there any way to turn the transfer off and just use it to remote control the camera, and use the live view. I need to take photos in rapid succession.

Good question – I believe you are in luck – you’d set it up for an ‘ad hoc’ connection instead of ‘infrastruture’, and it should talk direct to your laptop without an internet connection in sight. Nice application too. Let us know how you get on in the cameralabs forums…

I shoot weddings in Hawaii and I just bought a 50D. I want to buy this product but on the beach there are no internet, wi-fi, or bluetooth connections for my MacPro. Can I shoot on the beach and dump the images to my MacPro without internet?

Thanks a lot! _O_

The device needs to be connected to a network, either wireless or wired, but the computer which controls it could be on the other side of the world. There’s full details in my review at cameralabs . com…

Is this transmitter good to send the pictures taken to a far computer? For example to an other country via the GPS or other way?
Or this accessory is use only by Wi-Fi with a near computer?

Brilliant review.
It’s a shame you have to remove the grip to change the battery… Given the price, I was hoping this would offer some form of extended battery life as well, but it seems it’s even less convenient for shooting with hungry IS lenses than no grip at all! That said, the direct GPS embedding is VERY cool. I can see the WiFi being great for event photography too.
Thanks again for the video. I’ll bookmark your site

Why is it so expensive? Is there a universal (cheaper) transmitter that can be used?
11:11 am on June 3rd, 2010
Thanks, but please do visit my website at cameralabs . com, as this video is just a small part of my reviews!

Great post. It’s content like this which makes You Tube sing! Thanks.
12:37 pm on June 3rd, 2010
I don’t think so, sorry. This one does work on the EOS 50D as well as the 40D though…
12:39 pm on June 3rd, 2010
Is there a transmitter for a canon Eos d10
1:19 pm on June 3rd, 2010
I’m not sure. If the flash is mounted on the body and switched on, I assume it would fire, but I don’t think you could change the settings by remote control. You’d have to ask Canon.

Hi! Can it be also used to trigger an EF 580II flash??
2:38 pm on June 3rd, 2010
Hi, I have no plans to review the WT-4, so I’d suggest reading the manual or contacting Nikon technical support.
3:28 pm on June 3rd, 2010
Can you do a demo how to wire Nikon WT-4 Wireless Transmitter Because I got one but its just sitting on my cabinet.
no one knows how to set it to my laptop. please can you help me

Very expensive item
I never regret that I bought the ordinary batterigrip because now im buying EOS 5D Mark II 
hope there will be wireless for 5D!
