Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a new iPhone 11 Pro and I purchased both a Joby Handypod (which is great to use) and the Joby Impulse Shutter Remote. I am having nothing but trouble with the Joby Impulse staying connected to the phone. I have done everything possible to get it to maintain a Bluetooth connection, but with no success. For the short time that I have been able to keep the connection, I can tell it would be a very useful device. Not only does it work to take photos, it works in the other modes as well, such as video, pano, slo-mo, and time lapse. I never got around to testing the range as it looses connection after a very short period of time, like a minute. I purchased it separately from the Goby Handypod and it will not attach to the Handypod even though it has a clip. But you may find it works better attached to your key ring or find another way to keep it. The Impulse is very small and discreet, which makes it convenient. It might seem to be conflicting that I would recommend it, even though it does not work for me. Let me clarify: I can see the potential of using it, for phones that it stays connected with. It just does not stay connected with my phone. So I think it is worth purchasing, but keep the packaging for return in case it does not work with your phone. If you are lucky enough for it to keep the connection, I think you will enjoy using it. But it does not work well with my iPhone 11 Pro.

This remote changes everything! Great shots and no shake! Plus, my arm no longer has to be in my selfies! I especially like using it with still lifes. No accidental shake!

I am using this for my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It works well to remotely take pictures or start/stop video recording. I will say that this will not work in all apps. I have come across a couple where it did not respond. This is probably due to the app not supporting the feature of using the up/down volume buttons to actuate the shutter. It is easy to connect to your phone via bluetooth. You will have to reconnect each time you turn off the Impulse and turn it back on in you phone settings, however. I suggest turning it off when not in use to save on battery life. I do wish this would come with a much better lanyard. The one you see in the pic is small and cheap. This product is small, so I suggest picking up something to clip on to it to keep up with it.

Shopping on best buy online showed multiple bluetooth shutters so I went in to compare them all and was a little disappointed when this one was all they carried in store but it's easy to use just bluetooth your cell phone open up the camera and start snapping away. Our cell phone is a little slow at times in taking photos but this speeds up the process as it takes a photo every time you click. Definitely better than we thought. Only con is it does not recharge so you will have to buy tiny batteries for it. It's great for taking selfies or any photo as sometimes it can be hard to hold a larger phone in one hand and still press your camera button.

Love it, great bluetooth remote, you can take great pictures a long distance without a selfie stick,wayyy much better for a selfie pictures or other ones, I take it anywhere I go ,I'm a long distance hiker and this product work perfect for any pictures Iike landscape photography or long distance photography, no selfie stick need it or talking to your phone requesting a picture, just conect you joby bluetooth, push the button and ready to go.

Probably my lack of knowledge but having to pair it each time you pull it out lessens its utility. Not for spur of the moment use. Also would be nice if it came with a pouch or some way to store it safely. Works fine once paired. Overpriced given its utility.

I use this to start video recordings, so I no longer need to lean forward and tap the screen. Can also be used to click photos, but since the phone cameras have countdown timers, you may not want to buy it only for only photos. Connects via Bluetooth

Does it's job,no problem pairing with Apple iPhone 7+

Love the ability to snap pics when we are ready. So easy

This is a nice remote to have on your key chain. It helps to be able to take photos with you phone from a distance. The only bad thing is that all it does is take photos. It does not work for videos.

Works for basic remote shutter. Thought it was compatible with my dslr but it wasn’t. Still useful for the phone.

This is a must-have for cell phone photographers. Seeing up your shot and having a remote shutter button is great and keeps you from messing up your shot.

This device is easy to use with our iPhone XS Max It is very small so you can hide the device in your hand and press the button to take your picture

Havent used it as much as i thought i would. But the few tomes i did it has worked without issues.

No fuss - paired with my new iPad right away. I use it to remote start and stop video recording.

Small and easy to use. However must pair with phone all the time.

Good addition in your gear bag. Doesn't work with some apps, but for the most part, it gets the job done.

Easy to use . Set up simple .using for work related videos .

Paired this with the Joby GorillaPod 3k and a MeFoto Sidekick 360 Plus and was able to take some great pictures of my gf and I on vacation. Only wish there was some better way to attach it to things. But with that said, it is nice and small to hold in your hand to take a photo.

I purchased the 63” Joby tripod ($135.00), the mini Joby tripod ($35.00) and the Joby camera shutter button ($20.00) for my phone. The Joby camera button does not work. Very annoyed I spent all this money and I can’t use any of their products because of one stupid button that doesn’t work. Does anyone at Joby, product test their stuff before it goes out? Really hope they see this and this some how gets fixed immediately, by sending me a brand new one that actually works. Do not buy the Joby camera button. Just take your $20.00 and throw it away. Because the time it’s going to take to return this isn’t even worth it.
