Thanks to evolving camera technology, sporting moments can now be captured with unprecedented realism and intensity. However, at large-scale events, the number of photographers is limited, and there are many situations where one person needs to operate multiple cameras. The EOS Multi Remote is an innovative system that can remotely control up to 10 Canon cameras. It allows users to capture decisive moments from multiple angles, providing powerful support to professional photographers active in sports events.

Never miss a decisive moment: Live view lets you capture the decisive moment without missing a beat.

Shoot, review, and share in real time: You can review images immediately after shooting and use the information to improve your next shoot. Images can be transferred directly from the camera to the server using the app. Images are shared instantly.
