Looking for a remote continuous shooting solution

Hi,
I'm looking to set-off some continuous shooting from my X-T2 remotely. The mobile app only seems to allow single shots even if the camera is set in CH or CL mode.

Basically the shot I want to get is with the camera attached to the end of a long pole, in snowy conditions, so if I can find a solution that doesn't need any of the rubber flaps open (plugging in wires) that would be great. I was wondering if any triggers fixed the the flash shoe could do the job?

Thanks a lot for the help!

I have just bought the Hahnel Captur Remote Trigger for my X-T2 which I think will do exactly what you want. In addition I’ve bought the add-on Pro Module so I can try some creative work with laser triggering and a host of other features. As the unit has just arrived I can’t give any test results yet.

Great thanks. The continuous shooting seems indeed to be one of it's characteristics! Let me know when you've had time to try them out.

I guess there really is no solution where the hot shoe serves as a direct command for the camera? I mean, you always need a cable to connect the receiver to the camera right?

The best plan for me, I guess, would be to have an App like the Fuji Camera Remote App, that juste allows continuous shooting. Anyone heard of something like that? Or should we just ask Fuji to get that option added to the current app? 😀

Hello OliverG,

I use Yongnuo 603c2   triggers for the very same reason.  Affix one to the camera hot shoe and plug it to the camera with 2.5mm connect.  Use an identical trigger in your hand with both set to TRX.  It will for sure shoot CH.  Triggers are cheap too, just got 2 more on Ebay for 23 bucks.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
