Frequently Asked Questions - FW-VL Vello
How do I pair the transmitter and receiver?
Insert batteries into both units. Turn them on. Press and hold the Pair button on the receiver until the LED blinks, then press the Test button on the transmitter. The LED on the receiver will become solid to confirm pairing.
What is the maximum operating range?
The Vello FW-VL has a maximum range of 100 meters (328 feet) in open line-of-sight conditions. Obstacles like walls may reduce range.
Which cameras are compatible?
Compatibility depends on the cable used. The kit includes cables for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic with 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm remote jacks. Check the manual for your specific camera model.
How do I change the channel to avoid interference?
Both transmitter and receiver have a channel selector dial. Turn both to the same number (1-16) to use that channel. Repeat if interference occurs.
How long do the batteries last?
With alkaline AAA batteries, the FW-VL can last approximately 1 year in standby mode. Actual battery life depends on usage frequency. Replace batteries when the LED dims.
Can I use the trigger for Bulb (long exposure) mode?
Yes. Slide the shutter lock button forward on the transmitter to hold the shutter open. Slide it back to close. Use with camera's Bulb setting.
