CANON ACC BR-E2 WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL - (NEW)

CANON BR-E2 WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL – NEW

The Canon BR-E2 Wireless Remote Control is a compact and versatile Bluetooth remote controller for compatible Canon EOS and PowerShot cameras, designed to give photographers, videographers and content creators convenient wireless control without needing to physically touch the camera. Using Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy, the BR-E2 provides reliable remote operation from up to approximately 5m, allowing users to remotely release the shutter, start and stop video recording, activate autofocus, adjust exposure compensation and control power zoom when paired with compatible Canon lenses or power zoom accessories. This makes it particularly useful for tripod photography, long exposures, group photos, self-portraits, wildlife setups, product photography, vlogging and video production, where operating the camera without introducing movement can be essential. Compared with a basic wireless shutter release, the BR-E2 offers expanded control through two user-assignable function buttons on supported camera combinations, allowing frequently used functions to be accessed directly from the remote. It can also pair with up to five cameras, allowing users working with multiple compatible Canon bodies to switch between cameras without repeatedly unlinking the remote. Powered by a readily available CR2032 lithium battery and weighing only approximately 17g, the Canon BR-E2 is an extremely portable addition to any Canon camera kit and provides a simple, cable-free solution for greater shooting freedom in both photography and video applications. 

Key Features:

• Bluetooth Wireless Camera Control – The Canon BR-E2 uses Bluetooth connectivity to provide convenient cable-free remote control of compatible Canon cameras for both still photography and video recording. 

• Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy – Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy technology provides an efficient wireless connection between the BR-E2 and compatible Canon cameras while helping minimise battery consumption. 

• Remote Shutter Release – Trigger the camera shutter remotely without physically touching the camera, making the BR-E2 particularly useful when the camera is mounted on a tripod or positioned away from the photographer.

• Remote Video Start & Stop – Start and stop compatible Canon camera video recording directly from the remote, making it extremely useful for solo filmmakers, vloggers, content creators and presenters working in front of the camera. 

• Remote Autofocus Control – The BR-E2 can trigger autofocus remotely on compatible camera setups, providing additional control when shooting without direct access to the camera. 

• Remote Exposure Compensation Control – Exposure compensation can be adjusted remotely on supported camera configurations, giving photographers and videographers greater creative control without returning to the camera. 

• Power Zoom Control – Supports remote power zoom operation when used with compatible power zoom lenses or accessories, providing particularly useful functionality for video production and solo content creation. 

• Two User-Assignable Function Buttons – Two custom buttons provide additional control over supported camera functions, although the functions available depend on the specific compatible Canon camera being used. 

• Up to 5m Wireless Operating Range – Offers an operating distance of approximately 5m / 16.4ft, giving photographers and creators freedom to operate their camera from a practical distance.

• Pair with Up to Five Cameras – The BR-E2 can pair with up to five compatible cameras, making it especially useful for photographers and production teams working with multiple Canon bodies. 

• Easy Switching Between Cameras – Users can switch between paired cameras without having to unlink the BR-E2 every time, creating a more convenient workflow for multi-camera setups. 

• No Direct Line-of-Sight Required – Because the BR-E2 communicates using Bluetooth rather than a traditional infrared trigger, operation does not rely on pointing the remote directly towards an infrared receiver on the camera.

• Excellent for Long-Exposure Photography – Remote shutter operation helps minimise physical camera movement when photographing night landscapes, cityscapes and other long-exposure subjects. Canon specifically positions the BR-E2 for uses including long-exposure photography. 

• Supports Bulb Photography on Compatible Cameras – For example, when paired with the EOS R6 Mark II in Bulb mode, one press can begin the exposure and another can end it, making the BR-E2 useful for extended night exposures. 

• Ideal for Tripod Photography – Remote triggering reduces the need to touch the camera during exposure, helping minimise vibration when shooting landscapes, architecture, macro subjects and product photography.

• Great for Group Photos & Self-Portraits – Photographers can position themselves within the frame and remotely trigger the camera rather than relying solely on a short self-timer.

• Excellent for Vlogging & Content Creation – Remote video recording, autofocus and compatible power zoom control make the BR-E2 particularly useful for creators operating their own camera while presenting in front of it.

• Useful for Multi-Camera Productions – The ability to pair with multiple cameras makes the BR-E2 a practical accessory for creators and videographers who regularly work with several compatible Canon bodies. 

• Supports Continuous Shooting on Compatible Cameras – When a supported camera is configured for continuous or high-speed drive, holding the shutter-release control can continue shooting according to the camera's supported Bluetooth remote functionality. 

• Wide Canon EOS Compatibility – B&H lists compatibility with cameras including the EOS R1, EOS R3, EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R6 Mark III, EOS R6 V, EOS R7, EOS R8, EOS R10, EOS R50, EOS R50 V and EOS R100, among others. Compatibility and available remote functions can vary by camera.

• Compatible with Select Canon PowerShot Cameras – Compatibility also extends to selected Canon PowerShot models, including the PowerShot G7 X Mark III, PowerShot G5 X Mark II and PowerShot V1, expanding its usefulness beyond the EOS system. 

• Compact & Lightweight Design – Weighing approximately 17g, the BR-E2 adds virtually no meaningful weight to a camera bag and can easily be carried as part of an everyday photography or video kit. 

• CR2032 Battery Powered – Uses a single replaceable CR2032 lithium battery, with one battery included with the new remote. 

• Compact 9.1 x 6.4 x 3.3cm Body – Small dimensions make the BR-E2 easy to store in a camera bag, accessory pouch or pocket while travelling or working on location. 

• Versatile Canon Photography & Video Accessory – Combining Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, wireless shutter release, video start/stop, autofocus control, compatible power zoom operation, exposure compensation control, two customisable buttons and multi-camera pairing, the Canon BR-E2 Wireless Remote Control is an excellent accessory for Canon photographers, videographers and content creators looking for greater freedom when operating compatible cameras remotely.
