Camera Remote Control Ricoh CA-3 Black Compatible with Theta S GR II
This cable switch is designed to operate the camera shutter of Ricoh Theta S and Ricoh GR II cameras. The compact black remote connects to the camera and enables shutter release without physical contact with the camera body, helping to reduce camera shake and capture steady images for group shots and long exposures.
The Ricoh CA-3 cable switch provides both half-press and full-press shutter control in a compact black design. It lets you trigger the shutter remotely to minimise vibration, operates on standard AAA batteries, and is compatible with Ricoh Theta S and GR II models.
Connect the cable plug to the remote shutter port on the Ricoh Theta S or GR II. Insert the required AAA batteries into the remote, then half-press the button to focus or meter and fully press to release the shutter. Use the remote to trigger the camera from a short distance without touching the camera body.
To reduce the risk of vibration during long exposures, use a stable tripod and activate the cable switch for remote shutter release. Keep spare AAA batteries available to ensure uninterrupted operation during extended shoots.

All three devices are designed to prevent camera shake during shutter release, ensuring steady results for long exposures and group photos. However, Ricoh CA-3 is specifically tailored for select Ricoh ecosystem cameras, whereas the alternatives offer universal wired connection or long-range wireless freedom.
