If you frequently shoot wildlife, the newly launched SmallRig Wireless Video Repeater will deliver an unprecedented shooting experience. By establishing a Wi-Fi network, it wirelessly connects your camera, the repeater, and your mobile device (phone/tablet), enabling you to safely and comfortably monitor camera footage and control shooting operations from distances of up to 500 meters. It is an ideal solution for wildlife photography, outdoor documentation, and even multi-camera creative projects.
What is the Wireless Video Repeater?
The SmallRig Wireless Video Repeater acts like a "signal booster" for your camera remote. It is designed to extend control range and enhance transmission stability, ensuring reliable operation in complex environments. Whether you are inside a vehicle, under cover, or in another concealed location, you can view real-time camera footage on your phone or tablet and capture decisive moments with a single tap.
What Are the Key Features of This Wireless Video Repeater?
Wide Compatibility
Supports major camera brands including Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, DJI, and Insta360. Through the camera’s official app, you can remotely adjust focus, zoom, switch between photo and video modes, modify settings, and monitor footage in real time. Monitoring devices are compatible with both Android and iOS systems, usable on phones or tablets.
Stable Long-Distance Transmission
Utilizes dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz), adaptable to different camera models, and maintains stable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The maximum remote control distance reaches 500 meters, allowing you to shoot without disturbing wildlife.
Flexible Power Supply and Expandability
Equipped with multiple 1/4-inch threaded mounting holes, it can be paired with a Power Bank Holder or a Mini V-Lock Assembly Kit, supporting external power banks or V-mount batteries for extended operation and all-day shooting.
One-to-One and One-to-Many Control

Why Is It Essential for Wildlife Photography?
Extends Shooting Range
Standard wireless remotes typically offer around 100 meters of effective range in open areas, with performance often compromised by obstacles. The SmallRig repeater expands the control distance to 500 meters, enabling you to shoot from safer, more concealed positions.
Adapts to Complex Environments
Wilderness shooting often involves obstructions such as trees and rocks that interfere with line-of-sight signal transmission. The repeater can be positioned at an elevated location to bypass obstacles and establish a stable signal bridge, ensuring uninterrupted control.
Energy-Efficient and Efficient Shooting
Through real-time monitoring, you can selectively capture important moments, avoiding unnecessary recordings, conserving camera battery power and storage space, and improving overall shooting efficiency.
Respects Nature and Enables Comfortable Creation
Remote operation significantly minimizes disturbance to wildlife, increasing success rates while respecting the natural environment. Photographers no longer need to endure harsh conditions for prolonged periods; they can operate comfortably from inside a vehicle or shelter, avoiding exposure to insects, extreme cold, heat, and other environmental challenges.
