The Vello Wireless ShutterBoss 4.0 features advanced timer functionality and control for shooting self-timed
photos, long exposures, and for use as an intervalometer. This makes it easy to wirelessly program delayed
shutter release times, lengthy exposure times, or timed intervals between a sequence of shots. Capture
group photos with yourself in the picture, start long exposures at night for star trails, or shoot a time-lapse
series of a blooming flower. The ShutterBoss puts wireless camera control in the palm of your hand.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO
