I recommend a CamRanger. Not inexpensive at $300 new or $200 like new on EBAY. But it allows full control of camera settings on my Canon’s remotely from a phone, iPad or computer. The wireless works good over distances too. Check it out...

👍👍 Another vote for CamRanger.

Hello! I’m looking for advice on an easy to program intervalometer. I’ve searched and read the previous questions similar to mine, but they’re all years ago or irrelevant to my specific question.

I have a Canon EOS R, and I just got the PIXEL shutter release/intervalometer and it’s like doing algebra to program it. I used it once and figured it out, but I’m looking for something more user friendly.

Does anyone have an intervalometer they love that’s east to use?

The ones built into Lumix cameras are dirt simple. They expose at regular intervals and can automatically create a video you can just play. It's one of the many reasons I abandoned Canon.

Filmmaker Griffin Hammond uses the intervalometer really well. Here's a detailed video he made, demonstrating the process. At the end of it, he includes MANY samples of time lapse work from his films.

It's also used a few times in this very short video that was used to introduce a camera:

There are MANY videos on YouTube explaining other ways of using intervalometers and doing time lapses.

I have a device called the Pluto Trigger. It does the function of intervalometer and so very much more. It is controlled from an app on your smartphone, quite compact and very easy to use. Here is a link so you can check it out

Thanks for that reference. I think I will order that one.

Have you checked the manual throughly? I know that the upper end Olympus have built-in intervalometers. I would think the EOS R would be new enough to have one.

Years ago, I purchased a Universal Timer Remote Control by PHOTO for $30. It was on sale and I had a few dollars in my wallet. I like that it was compatible with many brands and the manual is only 16 pages long. No Algebra, Calculus or Trigonometry is required. It is basically plug and play. I don't know if it will
suit your purpose but for a few dollars its worth a try.
The Item Number is XTTRCUNV.

It is compatible with Nikon, Canon, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Pentax, Olympus, Konica and Minolta via separate included adaptors.

The Timer Delay is 0 seconds to 99 hours - 59 minutes 50 seconds in one second increments.
The Exposure Time is 0 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds in one second increments.

As for its ease of use, I have never had much problem after reading the tiny manual. It is not a 600 page manual that involves devoting 2 weeks of straight reading.

It is small enough to fit inside a bag or pants pocket. The cable is about 30 inches long with adaptors for many camera manufacturer brands.

I have included a link below. Enjoy and have a great photo journey. Happy Shooting!

Hi Sark,

I have a Neewer EZa-C1. It couldn't be easier to program. If you're at all tech-savvy, you'll master it in a few minutes. It does come with a small instruction sheet.

It controls delay, length of exposure, interval and number of exposures. Battery (2 AAA) last FOREVER, has a red lit screen. On Amazon for about $22.

Be sure to get the one for your brand of camera.

Your camera must be WiFi capable

Nothing else to carry into the field
Newest version will send photos to iXPand drive plugged into phone
