bobpatchcott Posted February 23, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, Can anybody tell me if it is possible to obtain some kind of wired remote to use with the Q, I don't have a smartphone, I don't need one, and I don't want one, I carry an ancient phone with buttons which I carry in the car in case I break down and to tell the time, I know I'm in a minority but hey we can't all be the same can we.

pop Posted February 23, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 23, 2016 You can buy a cheapish smart phone without a SIM card and put it as a "remove control for the Leica Q" into your books. Mind that it is equipped with WLAN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBHewee Posted February 23, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2016 Would an iPod Touch do the trick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herve5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 23, 2016 Would an iPod Touch do the trick? I suppose yes, as long as its OS is recent enough to load Leica software... Other than that, I confirm the Leica software only works via wifi, and I didn't find any third-party software that 'sees' the Q on USB. Indeed, by analyzing the instances present on my USB connector (on a mac) I only found the Q declared as an external disk... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpatchcott Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks for everyones responses to my question but I still don't want a smartphone, I was looking for some sort of wired remote, I don't use the Q on a tripod very often so when I do I will just have to continue to use the delay, once again thanks Cheers Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcbrelb Posted February 24, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2016 Maybe get one of those wireless widgets for firing a flash and wrap the flash in a black plastic bag? http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/250274-radio-trigger-for-the-q-any-users-have-experience/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrissmiller Posted February 24, 2016 Share #7 Posted February 24, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, It's one of the few things I find less that ideal on my Q. I like others, I'm sure, find the Smartphone remote more that a little bit cumbersome. It wound be great to have the option of tethered shooting, a wired remote and USB charging.

Yes I can't help thinking Leica are missing a trick with this, perhaps a firmware update in the future might address the problem, we can but hope.
