Title: CamRanger
Post by: Walt Roycraft on December 02, 2013, 04:55:51 pm: Just purchased a CamRanger to use for my Nikon D700. Seems like a great tool but, in their spec they say I can use all drive modes but this is not true. I wanted to use MU and it does not work. I emailed them and they were not aware they were saying MU was functional so they will be correcting that in their product info.
I am not in any way slamming them. Only pointing it out for others who maybe considering it as an option.

Couple of thing I found. It prefers the camera to be switched on and connected before the Camranger is switched on as it will not find the camera if the Camranger is switched on first.

When the battery gets low it can lose connection with the camera, although the green power LED is still lit and wireless connection enabled. This occurs with me after about 2½-3 hours use.

If you lose camera connection, you are better off restarting the the Camranger app ( On a MacBook) than trying the reconnect option in the app.

Small things and not really a problem. A second battery is also a good idea
