The PHOTTIX® HERO LiveView Wireless Remote is a brand new product from PHOTTIX®, designed to provide remote live video from the camera’s viewfinder in a 2.4" color LCD with audio up to 100 meters from the camera.
The PHOTTIX® HERO works with DSLR cameras that have no LiveView function, having a small camera to look into the camera's viewfinder. The Hero can also be connected to a DSLR camera that does support LiveView using an AV cable.

A LiveView remote for a DSLR camera is a new cutting-edge concept, which expands functional boundaries for professional, as well as amateur photographers. The PHOTTIX® HERO can be used as regular wireless remotes for DSLRs (such as PHOTTIX® PLATO or PHOTTIX® CLEON II). What’s more, PHOTTIX® HERO LiveView Remote provides a remote view into the DSLR, so you can see the exact image within the DSLR’s viewfinder. This enables you to view the image of what the camera is pointed at, and at the necessary moment release the shutter to capture the picture. Therefore, PHOTTIX® HERO can be applied for doing various photography:
- Sport Photography – You can set Your camera behind the goal net, at the same time taking photos of the middle field.
- Nature Photography – You can set Your camera in an open spot, not disturbing wild animals with Your presence.
- Family photography – You can make snap shots, capturing the moments filled with surprise and naturalness.
- Aerial photography – The Hero may also be useful for AP (where people hang a camera from an aircraft, kite or a mast), as the video feed will allow You to easily see where the camera is pointing.
