I have a Canon PowerShot 12X and hope to get a Canon SX720.
I want a really long selfie-stick I can use to dramatically change my perspective while making photos.
But I do not want to be bothered with setting a self-timer or recording it as a video, which I then need to watch to find that perfect shot, etc.
I need a trigger that will fire the shutter.
What technologies do this?
Can I use my old camera for this? If I buy a Canon SX720, does this have the ability for this?
If Bluetooth i the trick, does this mean I need a BT trigger? Does this support Canon PowerShot 12X? Canon SX720?
Thanks

There is no official remote for the Elph 520, though you can flange something up -- there are several web pages dealing with how to build one.
The SX720 does not accept the WL-DC100 remote.

Are there any remote wireless triggers for the SX720?
I do not consider my iPhone a viable option, since I would drop either my iPhone 7, an expensive camera, or probably both ;)

It would seem that Canon thought the applet for the smartphone was sufficient.
"SX720: Remote control, Yes (via smartphone)"

I presume that same controller also works with the Canon SX720?
This WL-DC100 Wireless Controller will me much easier for me to use, especially if I am holding up my camera on a long pole ;)
