SmallRig 5566 Wireless Video Repeater - wireless video repeater for cameras

The SmallRig 5566 Wireless Video Repeater enables remote camera operation and real-time image monitoring via a smartphone or tablet over a shared Wi-Fi network. The device is designed for shooting situations where it is not possible or practical to be near the camera – such as in nature photography, in harsh weather conditions, or in challenging and hazardous environments.

The choice of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, combined with a range of up to 500 metres, ensures a stable connection even over long distances. The cameraman can monitor the image in real time and control the camera from a safe location without needing to be physically present.

Remote control and real-time monitoring

The SmallRig 5566 utilises the camera manufacturers’ own apps, ensuring seamless compatibility and a familiar user interface. Remote control allows you to adjust focus, zoom, switch between photo and video modes, and edit camera settings in real time.

This significantly reduces the photographer’s visibility and the disturbance caused, for example, when photographing wildlife, enabling the capture of truly natural and undisturbed footage.

Flexible workflows for multiple cameras

The video cluster supports both one-to-one and many-to-many workflows using one or more surveillance devices. Recording can be triggered only when needed, optimising battery life and saving storage space for long shooting projects.

Versatile mounting and power supply options

The unit has several 1/4"-20 threaded attachments on the top, bottom and side surfaces, allowing it to be connected to SmallRig accessories such as a power bank bracket or mini V-lock mounting plate. This allows uninterrupted power supply from various power supplies and V-mount batteries even during long shooting sessions.
