    Hi - is it possible to remote fire video shooting? I'm able to tether through lightroom classic and take stills, but not shoot video - but I also have a need to shoot video. I'm asking for a Canon 5D MKIII.

    The reason is the camera is setup up on an elaborate overhead rig, and to limit any initial wobbling, it would be good to not have to touch the camera to start video capture (and then have to wait xx seconds for it to stop wobbling).

    Thanks!

    I've since read that maybe the RC-6 could trigger video recording for the Canon 5D MKIII?

    Can now confirm the RC-6 can start video remotely.
