[Primecables.ca] Bluetooth Phone Camera Shutter 59 cents FS

Deal Link:: https://www.shopperplus.ca/p-360833-cab ... rimecables
Price:: 59 cents
Expiry:: September 24, 2021
Retailer:: Primecables.ca

OK, almost embarrassed to post this deal but I bought one of these last time they had FS and to my great surprise it works well. Pairs with my (android) phone smoothly, operates the camera shutter quickly and reliably.

I use it for taking shots of birds outside my window without spooking them - I just set it up on the ledge, pre-point it at the feeder and wait...

TLDR: Looks like throwaway junk but it's not and for 59 cents, why not...

Same here, bought a few the last time, tested, and worked much better than expected. Buying a few more for X-Mass gifts for co-workers

I only recently learned that if you are on an Android device, you can say, "OK Google - take a picture in (insert number) seconds" and it will take a timer picture.
I've done many group shots this way where no one is excluded because they are taking the picture.

FWIW I have an S9+ and it works seamlessly so they haven't updated the list or they're just not backward-compatible or something

oh man. RFD hot deal is too much. not in price as it is all dollars and cents. And free shipping.
almost every crap item from amazon or others is posted here. And yes people love it.

Tried new coffee and doughnut. Found same old stale thing. expected bill of six bucks but it was 600 million. Big mistake so the guy said don't worry it is on the house. going back to McD.

Wow.

Placed an order for this.
Went to checkout and I had a store credit that more than covered the cost of this item.

As per RFD procedure, ordered just for the sake of it.

Actually had a nice side bonus... paid using PayPal in the hopes that the transaction would register as active account (possible rumour that PayPal may charge a $20 "inactive" fee?).

Thanks OP!

I can't afford to save that much!

I believe you just need to login to paypal account in order to keep it active.
