Xenvo Shutterbug Bluetooth Camera Remote — Wireless Shutter Button

Product description

Take clear photos and record video without touching your phone. The Shutterbug is a Bluetooth 3.0 remote shutter that reduces camera shake and lets you trigger images and video from a distance. It works with iOS devices (iOS 5.0 and later) and Android phones and tablets (Android 4.3 and later), including Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. It is not compatible with Windows phones.

The unit pairs in seconds and shows pairing/readiness via a blue LED. An easy ON/OFF switch preserves battery when it’s not needed. The single button emulates your device’s volume control to trigger the camera, so exact behavior (photo press vs. hold for video) follows the phone’s camera app conventions.

Built from durable, lightweight ABS-style plastic, the Shutterbug is compact and clips onto a keyring or bag with the included carabiner-style clip and wrist strap for quick access. A factory-installed coin cell powers the remote; many packages also include a spare battery. A small USB drive with an instruction video is provided in the box to walk through pairing steps if desired.

Expect wireless operation up to roughly 30 feet, giving flexibility for group shots, timed wildlife photos, or scene setups where you don’t want to disturb the subject. Designed for frequent use with low-latency response and solid Bluetooth connectivity, it’s a simple tool for everyday mobile photography.

Each Shutterbug is covered by a lifetime warranty so you can rely on support if anything goes wrong.

Pros

  • Quick pairing and responsive shutter activation
  • Compact, clip- and keychain-ready design
  • Long wireless range and lifetime warranty

Cons

  • Single-button limits advanced controls
  • Depends on phone’s volume-button shutter support
  • Uses replaceable coin-cell battery

VerdictA straightforward, pocketable Bluetooth remote for mobile photographers. It consistently activates the camera’s volume-shutter function with negligible lag, pairs quickly with iPhones and modern Android phones, and gives you freedom to compose group shots or start recording from a distance. The single-button design covers photo snapshots and video start/stop behavior (the exact function follows yo

  1. Douglas Dakin 5/5

    Dependable performer

    This remote always worked for me and even on my partner’s phones when theirs failed. A solid purchase.

  2. cbman 3/5

    Only a single battery included

    Other users are right: only one coin cell comes in the box, so plan to buy a spare. It paired easily with my iPhone and worked fine once the volume-shutter setting was enabled.

  3. BR TX 5/5

    Pairing is a breeze

    This remote is simple to pair and extremely easy to operate.

  4. Virginia 5/5

    Does exactly what I needed for videos

    I wanted a straightforward way to remotely start and stop recordings. It paired with my iPhone without fuss and controls video in the phone’s camera app as I expected. Very satisfied so far.

  5. Robert Grayce 5/5

    Pairs easily — video guide made setup painless

    The quick instruction video made pairing and using the remote effortless. Setup took only a couple of minutes. The wrist strap and clip keep it handy and hard to misplace; it performs reliably.

  6. M. Perry 5/5

    Solid remote choice for Samsung flagship

    I use a Samsung S25 Ultra and missed the S-Pen shutter. This remote paired quickly and worked across all photo modes, including Pro and Raw options. Powering it on/off didn’t disrupt the connection. I haven’t heavily tested battery longevity yet, but overall it feels well made and does the job.

  7. Néstor H. 1/5

    Arrived damaged and used

    The unit arrived showing wear and appeared used. I requested a return.

  8. Shaun 5/5

    Well built and responsive

    Neatly packaged, includes a short instruction video, and shows very little delay between pressing the button and the camera acting. Highly recommended.

  9. Rayan Kutbi 5/5

    Very nice

    Excellent for remote phone photography.

  10. Kevin Garnham 5/5

    Handy little gadget

    Performs flawlessly and is very convenient to carry.

  11. James E. 5/5

    Great for iPhone, works on Samsung; auto power-off feature

    It simply emulates the phone’s volume button to take pictures. When first powered the blue LED blinks while it pairs. On iPhones, a quick press snaps a photo, holding the button keeps recording (that’s how the phone’s camera behaves), and in video mode a press will start and another press will stop recording. The device also auto-powers down after a short idle period.

  12. C.S. Allen 4/5

    Simple to use right away

    I got this as a gift and used it immediately. I glanced at the tiny USB instruction file but didn’t need it to pair with my iPhone 12 — connection was instant and I was taking photos within seconds. It’s very user-friendly for iPhone users, and the package includes a spare battery. I’d recommend it.
