Shutter Release Cable Commlite for Canon RS-80N3 intervalometer function — wired remote (model SB3085)

The Commlite Shutter Release Cable for Canon RS-80N3 (model SB3085) is a wired remote that connects to compatible Canon cameras to provide remote shutter triggering and an integrated intervalometer. It enables timed exposures, long exposures and programmable time-lapse sequences without using camera menus or external controllers. The cable preserves full shutter control while reducing camera shake during tripod work and offers a simple wired connection for reliable operation in a variety of shooting conditions.

Advantages

This wired remote combines basic shutter release functions with intervalometer capabilities in a compact cable design. It supports precise shutter timing for long exposures, time-lapse photography and exposure bracketing without touching the camera body. The direct wired connection reduces the risk of wireless interference and offers consistent response times. The device is compatible with cameras that accept the Canon RS-80N3 style connector and is useful for studio, landscape and astrophotography applications where stability and timing accuracy are important.

Suitable for

• Tripod-based long exposures (night or low-light photography)
• Time-lapse sequences and interval shooting
• Macro and close-up work to avoid camera shake
• Exposure bracketing and multi-shot sequences
• Astrophotography and landscape photography requiring precise timing

Key specifications

• Connection type: wired remote with Canon RS-80N3-compatible plug
• Functions: shutter release, lock for long exposures, intervalometer for timed sequences
• Controls: manual shutter button with locking mechanism and interval programming interface
• Power: draws power from the camera port (no separate battery required)
• Cable length: standard wired cable length suitable for tripod use (typical handheld and tripod reach)
• Build: compact handheld housing with tactile controls for outdoor and studio use

How to use

Connect the cable to the camera's compatible remote port, set the camera to the desired exposure mode and use the remote button to trigger the shutter or lock it for bulb exposures. For interval shooting, enter the required intervalometer settings on the device: number of shots, exposure length and interval duration, then start the sequence. The cable provides direct control without navigating complex camera menus and is ready to use once connected to a supported Canon camera.

Usage recommendations

When working with long exposures or time-lapse sequences, mount the camera on a stable tripod and ensure the cable is routed to avoid tension on the camera port. Verify compatibility with your camera model before use and test interval settings with a short sequence to confirm timing and exposure parameters.
