Can my camera use the gentled? Use your browsers "FIND on this page" command to search.
As well as infra-red, we also offer a range of wired remotes & CHDK remotes, scroll down for details.

We provide a number of gentled infra-red options to suit different manufacturers, normally ex-stock. Check your user manual to be sure, but the following table gives details. With new cameras being produced all the time this table may not be completely up to date. A good way to check compatibility is to see if your camera's manual quotes one of the remotes shown down the right of the table as an accessory.

Examples of the actual remotes we have used are also given, however other remotes can work, as some manufacturers have a range of remotes with different keys and functions for different cameras, however all have shutter release.

* Note: The Canon S60 and S70 Powershot only support shutter release, not zoom operation, the G series supports both.
**Note: Camera using the Olympus RC-200 remote require the gentled to be mounted withing 2" (5cm) of the camera.
If you want to control more than one manufacturers camera with one gentled read this.

We also support a range of CHDK controllers, also designed for use with RC systems, the exact compatibility is detailed in this separate table specially for gentled-CHDK,  gentled-CHDK2, and gent360-CHDK:

	Although there is a definitive list of cameras that can use CHDK enhancements, it is not published exactly what voltage is required to use the USB as a camera trigger. This table is maintained to list cameras that can use CHDK plus information about the USB voltage. There should not be a problem on 4.8V RC systems, however if you are using 3.6V, see table below.  To ease maintenance of this table it is ordered by Camera Processor, use browser to FIND your camera		connects to USB and uses CHDK firmware enhancement
