Xenvo Shutterbug Bluetooth Camera Shutter Remote
Product description
Enjoy blur-free photos and remote video control with the Xenvo Shutterbug. This small Bluetooth 3.0 remote simulates the phone's volume key so you can snap pictures or start and stop video without touching the device. It pairs automatically and has a blue LED that blinks while pairing and confirms when it’s ready.
The unit is built in a lightweight plastic housing roughly the size of a key fob and includes a convenient ON/OFF switch for instant readiness. It ships with a carabiner-style clip and a wrist strap so you can attach it to bags or keys, plus a tiny USB stick containing a quick instruction video and a spare battery inside the package. Its usable range is approximately 30 feet, giving you room to position the camera and step back for group shots or distance photography.
Compatibility covers iPhone, iPad, and iPod models running iOS 5.0 and later, and Android phones and tablets on Android 4.3 and newer, including popular Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. It is not compatible with Windows phones. Use the remote with your device’s native camera app or many third-party camera apps that accept volume-button shutter control.
The Shutterbug’s compact design and clip-on convenience make it easy to carry everywhere, and the manufacturer supports the product with a lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Dependable — always worked
I liked this remote and my girlfriend borrowed it because it worked on her phones even when hers failed. Solid purchase.

Only one battery included
Other reviewers are right — the package has a single battery. It paired easily with my iPhone 17 and worked fine; remember to enable volume-button shutter in settings.

Great for starting phone videos
I’m new to YouTube and wanted a straightforward way to remotely start/stop recording. It paired easily with my iPhone and controls video recording as needed. Very happy so far, and lifetime warranty is reassuring.

Pairs easily; instruction video is helpful
The demo video made setup effortless and I had it paired in under two minutes. The wrist strap and carabiner clip keep it handy so I don’t misplace it. Works exactly as expected.

Solid remote for high-end Samsung phones
I use a Samsung S25 Ultra and wanted a simple shutter option after losing S-Pen camera control. It works across all photo modes including Pro/Expert Raw, paired quickly, and toggling power didn’t disrupt connectivity. Battery life not fully tested, but overall good value and quality.

Ideal for iPhone; also works on Samsung — auto power-off noted
It triggers the phone’s volume key wirelessly. When first powered the blue LED flashes and it’s ready to pair. On an iPhone in Photo mode, a quick press takes a picture; holding the button records video continuously (that’s how iPhone handles volume-triggered recording). In the Camera app’s Video mode, pressing starts recording and pressing again stops it. Note: it auto-powers down after about 90 seconds of inactivity.

Simple to use — ready in seconds
Received as a gift and used it right away. I briefly skimmed the tiny instructions and connected to my iPhone 12 instantly. The included USB drive with the tutorial is useful, and it even comes with a spare battery. Very easy, especially for iPhone users; Android folks should watch the video too.
