SmallRig 5566 Wireless Video Repeater for Cameras
The SmallRig 5566 Wireless Video Repeater for Cameras is designed to lower the barrier to professional wildlife photography — a field that has traditionally relied on long telephoto lenses. It improves shooting success by minimising disturbance to subjects and reducing physical strain on the photographer. Users can work remotely, avoiding extreme conditions and the need to hide, while staying connected to monitoring devices (smartphones/tablets) via a shared Wi-Fi network. With optional 2.4G/5G bands and a remote control range of up to 500 metres, the hub significantly expands operational capabilities.
Compatible with cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, DJI and Insta360, it makes use of manufacturers' dedicated apps for seamless remote control — including focus, zoom, switching between photo and video, and parameter settings — all with real-time monitoring. This capability greatly reduces the photographer's presence, minimising stress on wildlife and allowing authentic, natural images to be captured. It also streamlines the creative process by eliminating the need for prolonged concealment in extreme temperatures or hazardous environments. The repeater supports both single-camera (one-to-one) and multi-camera (one-to-many or many-to-many) workflows with one or more monitoring devices, and enables on-demand recording to optimise battery life and save storage space.
Multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes (on the top, bottom and sides) accommodate optional SmallRig accessories such as the power bank holder (ID 2790) and the mini V-lock mounting plate (ID MD2801B), ensuring an uninterrupted power supply from power banks or V-mount batteries.
