- a pixel tw-283 review, explanation of the various functions on this device and how to use the intervalometer for doing your time-lapse, long exposure and timed photography.
this multi-functional wireless shutter release is also usable as a wired shutter by the connecting the shutter release cable to the remote and camera.
this wireless shutter remote intervalometer is compatible with a lot of camera, provided you have the right shutter release cable.
for example. the tw283 s2 cable is compatible with a wide range of sony cameras like the A7III, A7RIII and the tw 283 e3 compatible with canon cameras. THE only thing that changes is the shutter connecting cable that determines if the device can be called a sony intervalometer, canon intervalometer or nikon intervalometer.
this video can be said to answer questions like:
explanation of the pixel tw-283 manual
explanation of the pixel tw 283 functions
the pixel tw 283 compatibilty
what shutter release cable is meant for your camera model when using the pixel tw 283
how to use bulb mode on your camera
how to use the intervalometer for long exposure photography
how to calculate number of shots when doing time lapses

This is a super low budget intervalometer that works on many brands but not just that I use it to trigger my Sony camera in video mode when recording alone.
I've had this intervalometer for a week now and watched a few videos on how to set it up and none of them were right. This is the first one I've seen that was clear, concise and dead on the money. The instructions that came with it are not very clear to me and now I finally understand EVERY function of this device. Wonderful job. Thank you.
hey have you tried taking 60sec or 90sec timelaps pictures with it?
🙏🏼 It took me 4 hours to find someone who knows how to explain how to set up this remote. Thank you.
Great, now we all can create more beautiful sequences
I first watched this video over two years ago when I was selecting an intervalometer and watched it again for some clarification because the "manual" was less than clear.
I have just watched it again because I will be using it again to photograph the night sky. Even though my camera has an intervalometer, you have to touch the camera to trigger it and I prefer to do it remotely.
Out of all the instructional videos I have watched on using this, yours is the best.
This is the best and clearest explanation i have heard by far .
Thanks for this video. I've had this remote for over a year, and I just figured out how to do long exposures with it. Thanks to you !!
The level of detail in this is extremely helpful! Thank you!
Clear and concise tutorial, and nice to see someone who can focus close up
Your comment is very well appreciated
Thank you. Very helpful, clear, and well organized.
An excellent description of how this timer works! Thanks! I love the remote capabilities of this remote!
Thank you for the in-depth review. I was looking for an answer regarding this shutter release, specifically how to use the BULB function. You were the one to answer this for me. I just placed my order !
very good explanation on what each function does especially as pixel pro has made it very difficult in their naming ,
Thank you so much! Really helped me clear some of my doubts regarding this, was planning on buying it, and this video helped me decide to get it for sure!
Thank you! Sure beats reading that very confusing manual!!!
Excellent Tutorial. Thank you for making the use of this Intervalomenter clear.
Thank you so much for making this video. There were a few things in the manual that didn't make sense to me. Your explanation is perfect!
I am glad it was helpful to you
This was extremely helpful. Thanks very much👌🏻. I know I’ll need to watch it a few more times to take it all in!
Excellent job in the explanation. Still a little unsure of the N2, but I'll figure it out
Superb Tutorial, very indepth, easy to follow and clear. Thank you
@peace thank you for the support
Very much appreciated for the improvements and growth of what this channel is meant to accomplish
Thank you! Exactly what I needed, much clearer than the manual.
Very nicely done, brother! and love it!
Very nice job explaining - Thanks
Thank you for making this! I am looking to purchase one of these and the cable differences also helped.
GREAT tutorial!! You explained this perfectly. Thank you!
Perfectly explained, thank you so much for this video
Thanks! A very confusing instruction manual explained in well done video. subscribed
Great vid. Just out of curiosity, what country are you from? I lived in Kenya for 30 years and your accent sounds *very* familiar!
Mine could be seen as a mixture of Nigeria-Ghana accent merging
Thanks for the amazing video!!
This was really helpful. Thank you!
*SETTING DEMO FOR TIMELAPSE*
-----------------
***PIXEL TW-283 SEQUENCE***
-----------------
DELAY - 10” (before firing)
LONG - 6” (exposure time)
INTERVAL - 12” (between each shot)
N1 - 3 (3 total 6” shots will be taken)
REPEAT - 10” (if N2 set more than 1)
N2 - 2 (2 rounds of above settings)
----------------
***MEANINGS FOR MODES***
----------------
DELAY - Time before first shot will be taken. This only happens for shot #1.
LONG - Exposure time for each shot.
INTERVAL - Time between each shot.
N1 - Total shots you want taken.
REPEAT - Time before the next exact sequence of settings repeats itself. If only 1 sequence is desired it does not matter what REPEAT is set to as long as N2 is only set to 1 then you will only get 1 sequence.
N2 - Number of times your set sequence will take place.
Great review. Just what I needed to figure this thing out.
Great video, bro. Super helpful, concise, and informative. You accent is a pleasure to listen to as well. :)
Thanks bro. I am really working on the way I talk
It’s being a reason I don’t upload often. I have to write out my script and rehearse so I can come across ok.
Thanks once again.
love your energy. thanks for making this video. just subscribed!
Thanks alot
Very helpful, thank you.
Thank you sir. Exactly what I needed!
Hey, I found this very helpful, I had mine setup as and tested out continuous shooting doesn't work in single shoot on the camera, camera has to be in continuous, I need to make a cheat sheet for this, I will of forgotten it by the time I get to use it lol
Excellent tutorial. Really helped me out a lot. Thank you. Subbed
I am glad you found it helpful and thanks for the subb
So helpful thanks for the video
Great review, just been searching for a wireless remote, and I found you! Do you know if it supports the AF modes when shooting with it at intervals for example? Cheers from Japan!
Yes it does support AF modes
If would try to focus using the AF mode activated at the moment of taking the photo before eventually taking the photo. But depending on what you are doing or how long you intend to use it, the focusing every thing it takes a picture can drain the photo cameras battery fast.
Cheers from Italy too
VideoTech Xplained awesome, thanks for reply! I just ordered it, can’t wait to get it tomorrow! Cheers!
Great buy. 👍🏽
Enjoy your day😊
Muy buen vídeo, has ahorrado muchas horas de trabajo a la gente. Gracias
Your video was very helpful for me ... oh, and your accent is cute too!
I am glad it did. Thanks for the view and compliment too
Hey thanks for making this video it helped me a ton!
Thanks for the comments, it definitely helps knowing my contents effects on my lovely viewers
I just received this remote. Mine too, only takes 1 image with the remote on continuous, unless the camera itself is set to continuous shooting.
Great tutorial 👍🏼
great video
I bought this unit for the main reason that it has interchangeable connection cables to handle multiple bodies. My two Canon bodies have different connectors..go figure. There are two main defects (for me) on this unit. First, most folks will have their camera on a tripod with the scene pre-focused and framed. Since pressing the "shoot" button on the control sends a focus signal, it potentially changes focus. Not good. Switching to manual focus is a work around. Second big gripe is BULB, typically for use with a neutral density filter when the camera body won't support longer shutter times. On most remotes like this, you set the shutter time, press the shoot button and the remote counts down to zero and closes the shutter. On this on you have to hang around until your desired value is reached and press shoot to stop. A pain. Otherwise I like this remote but these two issues means it will probably work it's way down to the bottom of my gear bag.
Hmmm. I get what you are saying, had things being this way, this device could have being better than it already is. But the overall performance is great, considering the price.
Thank you very much
Super clear explanation well done
Thanks alot
Useful video. Thank you.
Thanks for your sharing ...
I am glad you found it helpful
thank you for this. Instruction are not well written or illustrated. You explained well... also great accent :) Howdy from Texas.
What is the lingest exposure time allowed in the interval mode?
super helpful good job!
Hi i have a Nikon d7500 and i bought the pixel wireless timer remote control TW 283 everything is working on the TW 283 your video is great but where did you set you camera to ? which function on the camera please. I cant take photos because the camera its not responding to the TW 283. thank you.
There are a couple things you need check. 1. If you have the right connecting cable . 2. place you camera in photo mode and 3. make sure the transmitter and the remote are on the same channel. All Three checks must be in place for the devices to communicate
This was really helpful, thanks! I loved "in another language - which I suppose is Chinese" :-)
You are actually the first person telling about using the subtitles option. I am always wondering how accurate the translations to other languages are. Glad to know you loved it. Thanks
thanks for the video! how far have you been able to get this remote to work from?
I’m not good with telling distance but I thinking it’s said to be able to do 50m wirelessly
I can't get this remote to focus on Manual setting....what am I doing wrong? It only seems to focus when on Auto, which I don't want to use.
can i connect the wire from the controller to the camera directly?
Yes you can do that if you don’t want to use the wireless transmitter
@@videotechxplained7020 thanks sire.
Well explained. Please let me know exactly what is the difference between the 'BULB' and 'LONG' settings in this remote? Does it mean that in Bulb Mode, exposure will continue till I keep the shutter button pressed and stop only when I release the shutter ? In Long Mode ?
in BULB, PRESSING the shutter button would open the camera shutter for exposure until the shutter button is again pressed which then closes the already open shutter and takes a photo in the process .
LONG on the otherhand is part of a cycle, take allows you to take series of photos without pressing the shutter button as you would when you are in the BULB setting explained above. in the LONG SETTING you indicate the amount of time you want the camera shutter to be opened, so the time-lapse cycle is triggered, the intervalometer opens the camera shutter for the indicated period, takes a photo at the end of the period and this repeats itself until the number of pictures set in the cycle is taken.
sorry for this much sentences you had to read to get your answer .
@@videotechxplained7020 -Thanks a lot !! Now understood this very well. Now , when I want to actually set a time( in TW 283) for shutter to remain open and take image, for example for 2 minutes...how do I set that ( only 1 single shot of 2 mins)?
BULB, press your shutter button to open the camera for 2mins Then press again to take the picture.
But i would recommend you set your long to 2 min and your dail 1 in n1 for the shutter to take only One picture in the timelapse cycle. Don't forget to set your camera shutter speed to BULB mode
@@@videotechxplained7020 -Ok got it. SO I will set 2 min in LONG, 1 in N1 to take one picture.....what about the N 2 setting? It is the no of times to repeat, I think, and it can't be set to ZERO to avoid any repeatation of taking picture ?
@@ranjankmsphotography dailing 1 in N2 would repeat your N1 setting once which in your case would mean only one picture would be taken. i hope i was able to answer your question in an understandable way to you. don't forget to support this channel by sharing this video to friends and eventually subcribing to help the channel grow. thank you
Great Review. I have a question. Whats type of jack use the cable for connect the transreceiver ? . It's a 3,5mm jack ?
3.5mm jack to the transreceiver while the part that goes Into the camera depends o. What type of camera you’re using
@@videotechxplained7020 Thx. I use Sony A7III.
Roberto Furnò great, that makes the two of us
The other end of the cable goes into the a7iii charging port
I understand that no cable is suitable for kenon 200d?
My N1 setting doesn't use the same exposure time for all shots, the middle one doesn't wait as long as the others. Any idea why?
Is there a way to set my flash and the pixel at the same time ?
The pixel triggers your camera and your camera triggers the flash. They should not affect each other. Set the flash as you normally would and add the pixel. When the pixel triggers the camera shutter, the flash should shoot too if it’s probably set and on
Hello..what is the CH01 function? What is those Channel Function?🙏🏻😇
The channels are communication path. Both the transmitter and the receiver has to be in the same path(channel) for them to be able to communicate with each other .
@@videotechxplained7020 ok thank you!
Just bought it but unable to link to my Nikon D 500 ??
AF works fine but no photo shot !!
Please help !
Michel
I have been using this intervalometer for Milky Way long exposure (3.5 minutes) with my star tracker. I now realize that using BULB mode reduces from 14 bits to 12 bits on my Sony. Does anyone know how to get back to 14 bits while using this intervalometer or other method.
How do you change the ch # in the receiver?
By pressing the 2 buttons on the receiver simultaneously. When done correctly “channel “ would start to blink to signify its in edit mode. Press the 2 buttons again to exit the edit mode when done.
Thank you!
Cool but I didn't understand all, I will watch the video again
Ok. But I would advice you watch while you have the intervalometer with you so you can practice along.
How can I take 50 pictures with between 10 secs of break? The pictures will use 6 seconds of exposure but I don't know if I've to put it in or just in my camera. Can you help me please 🤞🙏
Eliott LOUIS you would have to set it on the remote but for you camera to expose for 6 seconds you would have to have your camera in bulb mode otherwise the camera would just take a normal picture despite the 6 seconds exposure time set
n1 =50 ( number of pictures)
Long = 6 ( exposure time)
Interval = 10( wait in between pictures )
@@videotechxplained7020 Thanks a lot, thanks to you this night I'll be able to shot some incredible stars ✨ 🙏
Eliott LOUIS great. I would definitely love to see them
Anyone got any ideas how to make the continuous shoot work? I've got CH dialed in. Using Nikon D7200.
Make sure your camera setting is set to continuous instead of single shot. Once that is done just hold the bottom button down.
Does it work with a Sony a3000
the connection in hot shoe receiver is 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack?
The transmitter in the hot which can also be placed anywhere else uses a 3.5mm jack.
Hello would this trigger RX flash like yn560iii or a flash that receives radio . I want to do off camera shoots with the a5100
IF the flash is compatible with the camera Then it would also function with the pixel tw 283 attached. An intervalometer triggers the shutter of your camera , when the shutter is triggered, your flash would also be triggered to lighten your subject or composition after which your shot would be taken.
Is this also for video filming ?
I don’t remember ever checking to see if it could but I doubt it
How can i reset some settings to zero. In all cases i can only get it down do minimum one second. But not zero :(
I don’t know how or if it’s possible.
my stop working cant sync , any ideas how to sync :( sony a37
Unfortunately I don’t. Sorry about that
Does this work on Nikon d500?
I know DC2 cable it works on Nikon cameras so it should work on d500.
Let me know the outcome if you get to use it on the d500
volume bud, can barely hear you and computer is on blast. Thx for video tho
Sorry about the audio
Must be your end bro as I can hear him clearly and the volume isn't even that high?
They over complicated it. They don't really need N2, just confuses people. Just set the exposure time, interval and how many times. The rest won't be used by 99% of the people.
Can it be used with Rx100 M1 Sony? I only see M2 and M3 in the list of compatible. Does it have to do with the fact that m1 doesn't have a place to attach the receiver on top but it can still be plugged and works? Or it doesn't work?
