HaHnel Giga T Pro II - Wireless Remote

[Jetl3on]

Has anyone used this item and know the difference between the Pro and Pro II? Cant find much online, would you recommend it over a wired version?

Thanks

Avoid.

Before I bought one, I only heard positive reports. Since owning one, it's all negative - and all the same symptoms: Unfathomable controls, 5-8ft range tops - and that's if it works at all.

Go wired.

What's different?

Transmitter On/Off button - saves battery power

Continuous shooting has been adjusted to mimic the rate of shutter speed on the camera Repeat mode for Interval Shooting:

The Giga T Pro II has two timing loops, one embedded in the other. This feature allows you to repeat the original timed programme as many times as required.

Use the original programme feature to create a timed 10 minute series of astral shots. You can then set this programme to repeat at hourly intervals.

You can set up a basic programme which allows you to set up a timed shooting sequence, defining the delay, number of shots, interval shots and so on.

I've got the original version and I've not suffered any of the problems described above. The menus are easy to use and the range and reliability is very good.

My only major criticism is that it feels a bit cheap and plastic for the price.
