 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here bringing you today's video From Wellfleet in Cape Cod in the US I'm here for a couple of weeks on vacation and I've availed of my time in the US as I did in the previous year In part to take advantage of the amazing product selection available from Amazon and Amazon Prime And I picked up a couple of accessories for the Canon XA40 pro camcorder Which is what I'm using to shoot this video with I know a lot of folks in the excellent Canon XA group on Facebook If you're not on that group, it's a really fantastic group for people who own the XA series of camcorders It's the XA10, 35, 40, 50, 55 and the 45 and the 55 I was thinking of what accessories would be useful and top of my list was a wired remote controller So I found this product on Amazon for $25 and it's a wired LENC remote controller So basically this extends. I'll show you how far it goes. It extends About this far so you've got about a meter. However, if I was doing this vlog I have the tripod set up about 45 centimeters in front of me. I could just plug this in So this goes into the wired LENC terminal on the XA40 which is the same panel that you have the 3.5 mil audio controls You just plug this straight in. It's a 3.5 mil connector just like a headphone connector It's got a little clip so you can basically clip this onto your clothing if you want to keep it out of frame I have it on my So I think the way you're supposed to use this is to have it sitting on your lap For instance, this goes into the camcorder and you've got your four buttons The buttons on this device are from the top down. You have a power button Which also doubles as a photo button tight and wide for controlling your zoom and most importantly a Record button start and stop at the bottom. So just plug this guy in You can do your vlog as much as I'm doing it and you just have this in your lap And you'll be able to remotely control the key functions on the XA40 I just tried it and it works really well. So I think for $25 if you're using your XA40 to do vlogging work and you don't want to have to constantly be reaching over To hit the record and stop button on the top handle that this is a super investment
