Hi guys im disable and unable to fly, a very useful thing people are doing with these is, virtual photo walks this means i am able to go to a far away country and take photos. With this and the apps available i can take control of someone camera set and adjust everything chat to the person who is with the camera and ask him to adjust composition for me to where ever i want take a few photo’s and the photographer can then email me the shot’s i took to edit and print so for some this may seam a bit silly but for others its a way to travel the world

With the 6D this thing could be a sense.

If that’s indeed the selling point for the device, it’s not visually marketed very well from the images shown.

It strikes me as a ‘mom’ product, purely from my interpretation of their pictures. It’s obviously not designed for any serious photographers/videographers use, purely because it sits on the hotshoe.
The worst thing is they seem to have priced the average mother out of the market with the ridiculous $75 price tag,

I feel embarrassed just to be on the same page as it. (Shudder)

I think everyone is missing a key point here: this could be used as a ‘swivel screen’ for the Canon 6D when using the wifi camera control app. That’s the primary reason I grab the 60D first when shooting video. Throw a 5″+ smartphone in there and you have a very large preview image, potentially killing the need for an external video monitor.

I see people doing this all the time and I wonder if they bought the camera because it will take better pictures.
