Gps With Wireless Backup Camera Reviews

My backup camera (6DMKII) has built-in GPS and I would have loved to see it in the R-5, but they chose not to. So, this Canon GPS receiver is plan B. It is a bit difficult to set up, but once you discover you don't need a cable to set it up, then it gets easy to follow directions. It works great on my R5 and I love knowing where exactly I took an image. I gave it a 5-star rating for the quality and ease of use. Grab one while you can because they run out of stock quickly.

I needed a backup camera for a older VW so with the newer GPS system this has a great wide angle shot for the user. Batteries last 2 months and yes it can be stolen pretty easy so just know your limits of safety for this device.

if your wireless unit fails you, this is your backup.

We have over a dozen gps in the last 25 yrs…this is the best one we have…it is being used in the car instead of the stupid one in the car…backup for my bike cuz I love my NAV VI for motorcycling and its renewal program if there are problems is excellent (used about 5 times).. thanks

Purchased this as a backup for my colombus 990 GPS data logger. Since it comes with a SD adaptor you can just snap the two together and pull off the data from your laptop/desktop computer...

I have been reading the reviews on the Nikon D5 vs. Canon 1DxII number of shots and for me it is an edge case where I may wish I had the D5's battery life. For most shooting having 2 - 5 batteries will more than suffice for a days worth of shooting. Yes, sports photographers have a stronger argument for a long lasting battery, and maybe this will sway some of you to Nikon, but things ebb and flow between Nikon and Canon. However I am reading reviews of folks getting 4000 shots on a battery with no GPS, no liveview and no movie recording. Overall I am very happy with the battery life I am getting. I am mostly doing Wedding, Architectural, and Landscape photography, and have yet to get to a second battery. I haven't pushed the battery to it's max yet and am seeing 4 bars on the camera after 1000 photos with no GPS. Will repost as I gather more data.

I was a little hesitant in buy this unit after reading some of the reviews, but for travel I like having GPS data in the pictures. I bought one unit and tried it on my wife's Canon R6 and my R5. It worked perfectly on both cameras, did not have to do anything other than set it up in the cameras menu. I took several pictures with both cameras at different locations, and the accuracy was superb. I then ordered another unit so we would both have one for our cameras.

I normally don’t make reviews, but I thought someone should come in and defend the honor of this gadget after a couple less-than-stellar reviews. For a DSLR/Mirrorless shooter, this thing is a must-have. It’s just a supremely handy thing to have in your bag when you need it. When I’m shooting for the big screen, or need isolated audio tracks or phantom power, I’ll pull out my MixPre. But for simple web videos when that’s overkill (whether interview or run-n-gun b-roll), this thing’s great when you want to get 2 audio sources into the 3.5mm input on your camera. Obviously, there’s no pre-amps or phantom power, so I tend to only use with sources that have their own built-in preamps (like wireless mic receivers or a Røde videomic pro). I can lav up two subjects with my Sennheiser wireless mics and record each subject to a separate channel on my camera (on on the left, one on the right), which is amazing flexibility to have. Or I can run a wireless lav into one channel and my Røde Videomic Pro into the other and have that great lav/shotgun flexibility. All in all, can’t say enough good things about this device. Dollar-for-dollar, no device expands the audio capabilities of a DSLR/Mirrorless camera like this thing does. Just make sure you set your expectations right. And that means plugging in devices that boost their own signal.

Great little backup in my bag for wireless boom mic using Rode Wireless Go

I was so convinced by all the reviews I bought 2. Finally wireless strobes.
