Differences between CamRanger 2 and Camranger mini
In 2012, the original CamRanger revolutionized wireless tethering and since then has been the top choice for photographers.
If your camera does not have built-in WiFi for remote control and Live-View, the CamRanger is the ideal device to control your camera remotely in combination with the Photomast. Even if your camera has built-in WiFi, the CamRanger exceeds the possibilities that your own camera offers. The range and strength of the WiFi signal is also much better and that helps to prevent interference from other WiFi networks.
It is possible to change the main camera settings such as ISO, aperture and shutter speed remotely from every compatible camera. In addition, there are many more options that every CamRanger offers to take even more creative images.
Each Camranger has its own battery, which means that the camera battery lasts longer than when using the built-in WiFi. Keep in mind that the use of Live-View will drain the camera battery a little faster. Live-View can be turned on and off remotely.
Below you will find the main differences between the Camranger 2 and the Camranger mini.
