Description

Equipped with an 80cm cable, the Canon RS80-N3 is a wonderfully handy device for taking pictures of subjects that are difficult to approach, or to minimise vibration for close-ups and time exposure. Working just like a shutter button, it enables halfway or complete pressing. This, combined with the shutter-release lock makes this a fantastically useful device.

The RS-80N3 is a wired remote shutter release for Canon cameras with the N3 terminal. It’s designed to let you trigger the shutter without touching the camera.

 Key Features

  • Prevents camera shake → perfect for long exposures, macro, and telephoto shots
  • 2-step button → half-press (focus) + full-press (shoot), just like your camera
  • Shutter lock → useful for Bulb mode (long exposures)
  • Wired (no batteries needed) → powered by the camera
  • Cable length: ~80 cm / 2.6 ft

 Compatibility (Important!)

Works with Canon EOS cameras that have the N3 port, such as:

  • 5D, 6D, 7D series
  • 1D / 1Ds series
  • Some newer R-series (like R5, R3)

Not compatible with most entry-level Rebels (those use a different connector like RS-60E3).

 When It’s Worth It

Get this if you:

  • Shoot long exposures (night, astrophotography)
  • Use a tripod and want zero shake
  • Do macro photography
  • Need a reliable, no-lag trigger (better than Bluetooth in many cases)

Limitations

  • No timer, interval, or advanced controls
  • Short cable (you stay close to the camera)
  • Wired only (no wireless convenience)
