Canon Wireless Controller LC-4

Some shots need the photographer somewhere other than behind the camera: a remote camera at a finish line, a wildlife hide left unattended, an overhead position at an event. The Canon Wireless Controller LC-4 is a transmitter-and-receiver set that fires a Canon EOS camera remotely, with the receiver connecting to the camera’s N3 remote terminal.

Unlike a cable release, it lets you move away from the camera and trigger it from wherever the action is best observed. Canon’s accessory compatibility list includes the EOS R1, R3, R5 and R5 Mark II, and it suits other EOS bodies equipped with the same N3 socket, which makes it a practical tool for sports and press photographers placing remote cameras and for nature photographers who need distance from wary subjects.

Before ordering, check that your camera has an N3 remote terminal; bodies that use the smaller E3 socket, which includes most entry-level and mid-range models, need a different remote. Once the receiver is attached, you set the drive mode on the camera as usual and fire from the handheld transmitter.
