I've been a CamRanger owner for years. It wasn't a perfect product but our best option. The CR2 is much more improved and I believe close to perfect now. I use the CR to send images Wireless to my iPads which my team is holding on a fashion shoot.

I've used the original Camranger since the day it came out and it became a must have for all studio sessions.. the clients loved seeing the shots larger than a camera's LCD and I could also walk over the iPad to them so they didn't have to come to the camera. I have the new one as well and it's awesome. One thing I think Camranger needs to do badly, is make their own support videos showing set-ups, features, how-to's etc. They are seriously lacking in that department, relying on users to explain set-up, any gotchya's or issues. They'd sell a lot more if they had videos showcasing it's features and making it easy for the user to understand exactly how to use it. Thanks for this review.. I hope they sell a ton.
I met the founders of CamRanger a few times four years ago and picked up the original CamRanger. I had the usual issues and I got amazing support from them. I've been waiting for this model to be brought through production. Thank you for your review as I use mine for all facets of my photography. I've shot basketball games with the client in the stands looking at the shots on their phone live. I use it in the studio sometimes and I use it for night photography a lot. I love the features that it seems they've expanded on and along with the extended range and much faster transfer it looks like a no brainer. I'm ordering asap.
I am a original user of the camranger and still use it with great success today. The camranger 2 is promising. My only drawback with it is if you have it on top of camera, than where does your wireless microphone go? I have to buy a attachment that I can seat 2-3 items on top of the camera. The camera gets heavy at some point. But not all things are perfect right.
Wow. Those are some nice bags in the background.
Yes they are CDI you sell the bags Paul. Also , I cannot find anyone selling the camranger 2. Do you (or anyone) have a link?
Where would you put the strobe radio triggers?
FYI:To help with the pocket issue, use a 90° USB-C. It's not quite as good as it would be coming off the end, but should keep it reasonably low profile.
Just got a CamRanger 2today for xmas! Loved the first version, I'd have to say it was my most used photog accessory. I use mine mostly for time-lapses.
Yeup if photographers had any idea how useful it is everyone would have it.
Thanx Dani, So sad the camera apps by manufacturer are so bad. CR2 to the rescue. I use the old one but the new one looks like a winner. Luv the otter.
Thanks so much for this great video, Dani!
Wow! love this review. I want one even though I don't need one. CamRanger should design one that you can put into your pocket. Love how you set up this review in a bag store.
You *can* put it in your pocket if you buy a longer cable (that goes between your camera and the CamRanger). The one that comes with it is very short, meant to go on your camera hot-shoe (which wasn't practical for me because I have a flash controller sitting on my hotshoe). They do offer some additional mounting options, but I didn't buy it because their Windows 10 version of software is still in Beta and not full-function, and there is no documentation specific for it yet. :(
My testing CamRanger 2 on the Sony A7RIV has been very good. I love it. I had some trouble setting it up. These are the steps I use now.
I hear that there are some issues with changing the shutter speed on the A7RIII. No issues with the A7RIV.
If you are using the Sony apps, this is so much better. I do recommend only sending JPGs (not RAW files) to the iPad.
The Sony tethering app is junk (Imaging Edge that was named Play Memories). This is a lightweight alternative to using the laptop, cable and Capture One.
Here are the settings that work for me (saving RAW and JPG to the camera and only sending JPG to the iPad):
1. Set "File Format" to RAW & JPG" That is on the first Sony Menu.
2. Under the Globe menu, there is an item called "PC Remote Function". Under it, there is "PC Remote" menu item. Turn that on.
3. In that same menu area look for "Still Img Save Dest". It should be set to PC+Camera.
4. In the same menu area, set the menu "RAW+Jpg Save Img" to the value JPG Only. RAW really slows things down. But you can try it.
5. Be aware that a good user manual is part of the app on the iPad.
CR2 does not allow focus control on the A7R3 for focus bracketing!
I use a flash trigger in hotshoe. Can CR2 mount into tripod mount under camera? Or where would you recommend?
Where do you put your strobe trigger.
Great. I have a few different plans for mine, but mostly for light painting. FedEx is delivering my Camranger 2 tomorrow!
Thanks, I just got it as well but haven’t had time to test it out yet.
Then where we attach flash trigger?
Thanks for the review, so is the quick raw faster or slower than sending small basic jpeg or is it the same? And what size is the jpeg extracted from the raw?!
Did you try it with a MacBook pro?
How long does the battery last? And charging time too?
Sorry for the many questions but I can’t find any proper reviews out there! Yours is the best so far.
Ditto all these questions. Weird there aren't more reviews or step-by-step videos.
i want to ask you some question if I may:
1. do we need to put sd card on both of camera and transmitter ?
if the answer is no that means we can put card only on camera, so
2. if i only shot RAW, whats the output on the tablet?is it RAW or automatically becomes JPEG?
Experienced pro photographers still like the ATG AK1 Un-Tethered System
Then come CamFi Pro Plus, CamRanger 2, CamFi Plus & CamRanger
Many got robbed from CamRanger when they got the CamRanger for $300.00.
When TP-Link was selling it for $25.00.

Hi, how can i see live view from my camera. nikon d810 when the camrange 2 is connacted?
I’m more interested in the leather camera bags in the background
You really should be doing a review of them
For the pocket thing buy a L shaped cable
Smart
Dani you need to be active on your channel
Filming is a such a pain in the butt. Especially the video editing part. I wasn't cut out for this.
Dani Diamond good luck 👍
I agree only because I love Dani. I would watch him all day!!!
@@yehudadiamond6781 Hi: I know a lot of Persians. Was your Dad's last name Berelian before he changed it?
Dani Diamond Work with your strengths. You're a photographer who has a photography business. Others want to learn those skills. Trade Photography Biz mentorship for videography and editing work to build your UA-cam
I am think of getting one of these , but maybe I will have to wait until I get back to the UK , as I am in Thailand , and can not find .
on canon 80d, can this record video onto the sd card inside the 80d AND the sd inside the camranger???
The batteries are NOT made by Camranger. I already have this charger and the batteries I use in my flashlight.
You're right
I have the original Camranger that I use mainly for image transfer to iPad when shooting headshots, from which clients make selections. Camranger works fine, but not fine enough to stop me wanting to buy the Camranger 2, which seems to be a massive improvement on the original.
However, I have another challenge: I'm now shooting interior stills that ideally require me to wander around in my camera's field of view to make small adjustments, and I'd rather not have to keep heading back to the viewfinder to check up on what I've done. I've tried using my iPad Air2 with the Camranger to check details - zoomed in and out - but the liveview image quality on the iPad is appalling! It's not just the liveview that needs to be HD, but I would also like to use the touch screen operability for Camranger. Any thoughts on a suitable monitor that can be paired with my camera/Camranger setup, which will also work untethered?
I am not a expert in external HD monitors since I don't shoot video however I have shot interiors and understand your concern, I simply take a photo, view the results in hd and then make an adjustment.
And BTW this cr2 is a whole different ball park vs the original. It's improved in so many areas that make it an enjoyable experience. The original never had me fully satisfied.
What if your using flash and you have transmitter on top.
You can buy a right angle USB cable and have the cable run out of your pocket
excellent review...first time i heard about this product. Its alot simpler than connecting your camera to the laptop. But in the video you attached the device in the camera shoe but what if you are using strobes?? Usually you attach the remote controller in the shoe. threfore how do you attach the the camranger???
The hot shoe is just a way to hold it. It's not using the port connection. There's many ways to attach the cam ranger
What do you do with that device if you are using a strobe and have to put your transmitter in the hot shoe? Like if you’re shooting with the Explorer600 for example.
Get a L bracket or some trigger has a hotshoe on it, like the one for Godox
I have this issue, l bracket not the answer either. It doubles the weight and makes your setup huge. I'm going to make a pouch and put the CR2 on my belt
@@danidiamond The Godox X1 series trigger has a hotshoe on it, which allows you to put it on top. I put Camfi(familiar to Camranger) on it and it works great.
It does look a bit silly though.
@@s87343jim Yes i have that transmitter as well, i just like the other one more
Please run a test outside your property and see how far can you transmit an image. The second question on the app for I Pad or I phone do they still have Camranger share?
Because that a worthless app Camranger share as soon you stop the camera client lost all old previews on their I phone or I pad??? and that the same still?
Hi, you said you’d had some issues with the old one. One of my issues is the app crashes after a few seconds with the d850 is this an issue you’d ever had and if so do you know if it’s fixed in the new one ?
Are there videos on the bracket mounting steps?
Disregard this question, I was able to enlarge a pic and figured it out.
Wow, You sold me!
does it support focus peaking? and zebra, or historam at the same time?
I am useing Camranger but problrm of battary. I donot get battary in India
does the (1) have a sd card for a backup,,,, like thw 2 does ????? this is important to me as i hate to shoot with only 1 Card..... THANK YOU JOHN
No the one does not. Only the 2
Theres no place to mount the flash on the camera
You placed on the 'L' bracket if you need a flash on the hotshoe.
Nice content and work, thank you !
Nice! is it USBC?
How do you use your light controller?
look s great from camera to iPad, how does it work the opposite way as a remote from iPad triggering camera?
Of course, it can fully control every setting of the camera and trigger it
Dani - I use the original CR for the exact same reasons that you are doing - client review. RAW to camera card and low res JPEGs to CR. Do you know if the star ratings made from CR 2 app are saved into the meta of the files? Do the star ratings show in Bridge or LR? It wasn't possible on the original CR, but this feature would allow me to sync client's ratings made on set with the RAW files when I download after the shoot. Thanks for any info.
I don't think it will do it, I'll try on Sunday on my shoot. I wish this was possible too but I think this would require the CR to write to the Metadata of the file on the cameras memory which it can not do. I will ask Dave about this.
@@danidiamond Thanks. it would be a great feature. The original CR would allow me to email list of star ratings but it wasn't practical or accurate. The app would forget star ratings if the camera or CR was turned off during the shoot.
The short version is that it depends on the camera. With Canon, yes, with Nikon, no. With Sony and Fuji, the images on the CamRanger SD card will be updated with the ratings. Regardless the ratings list in the app should remain accurate and not be lost.
Hey Dani, thanks for this! Can you also make it work with a laptop? Macbook atc? Says its compatible with windows and os but did not find anything specific. Would love to shoot to capture one
Yeup works with Mac and windows. Not sure how well it'll import I to capture one. But I must say, if you need to tether to computer and capture one, your best option is to use a wire. Nothing will work as good as a wire. I shoot on the streets of NYC, this setup is for portability.
@@danidiamond You should be able to designate a hot-folder in C1Pro. I assume you can set this hot folder destination on the Mac via Cam Ranger(?). That destination folder would be the designated hot-folder in C1Pro. Should work, have not tested. That said, I do agree with the "good as a wire" comment, especially when using C1Pro; very bulletproof. BUT, the CamRanger could be beneficial if it is reliable and almost as fast as a wire when transferring 42mp raw files to the Mac.
will this tether to a macbook so clients can select the images right in Lightroom?
Yes but they see it in camranger app
How do I locate my camranger serial number
Should be on bottom of unit
because you shoot jpg
I think the problem is the USB port for Nikon (D750 and below) is just plain terrible. They being dissconnet all the time
I agree, D850 as well. They should make a better connection
I have a D750 and the original Camranger. I have never had a problem with a dropped connection. I've used the Camranger to shoot interiors where I am walking away from the camera and router. I have been using an Ipad Air, so not the newest tech. I guess I should be very grateful I've never had this problem.
@@shelbygreen373 when you're not moving around much like shooting interiors on tripod you won't have this issue. But I'm walking around with camera constantly moving banging around and when there's movement on wire it disconnects.
@@danidiamond I see. Jim Huang was saying that the port in the D750 is not great. It's seems like the setup doesn't hold up well for the banging around. I'm moving the tripod from place to place and there's some banging around. Just not as much as with what you're doing. Great video review, thank you so much for making it.
@@shelbygreen373 it's not the link between Camranger and IPad. It's that annoying USB connection.
I'm sold! Send me a link. You should go into marketing 😉!!!!!!!!!
Cool thing but how do you connect a trigger for your flashes?
Follow me on ig to see how I do that
@@danidiamond Hi Dani. I've looked through your instagram post and stories and can't seem to find info regarding the initial question. Can you direct me to the answer? Thank you and all the best, Rick.
@@rick535xi @danidiamondcarpentry
Way too much info on CamRanger 1 . Half way the video and you are still going back to the CR 1. Not a great video. But I do love my new CR 2
Useless comment
Totally useless for three of my cameras, ATG Sony SLT-A99 IR, Sony SLT-A99 & Fuji GFX-100.
Simply no live-view and snail transfers. Can not transfer audio & video like ATG AK1 Un-Tethered System.
