[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 836903, member: 38477"] Yes, I read people have choices and some point out the disadvantages. Wireless (rf) built into the camera or over Bluetooth via a phone App (not power hungry wi-fi) would be preferable. I've used cheap wireless garage door openers in several projects. Another option is wireless r.f triggering an IR emitter hanging near the camera rear sensor? The issue with daylight or camera IR focussing interference is probably down to filtering of their IR sensor, even though they are probably using near IR 750nM for focussing and higher 1000nM for remote trigger? My T.V remote works fine in daylight, so IR links shouldn't be rocket science. But thinking some more, we like sun behind the camera and it could confuse low level IR pointing at the camera from the front or side? If they are using a decent Sharp receiver in the camera (?) increasing transmitter power using 2 IR leds should make a difference. Many T.V remotes use 1IR receiver + 2 or 3X emitters and 2 or 4X 1.5V AA batteries. For my wet task I'm behind the camera with the remote fob inches away from the keep dry bag and not a problem now it works. I've tried Snapbridge but I didn't think the D750 built in wifi receiver was that good as an Access Point and as a feature it becomes another battery power consumer. For a wet task using Snapbridge, the phone would have to be in a keep dry bag, whereas I'm not bothered if a cheap ML-L3 clone gets wet. [/QUOTE]
