If I'm in the middle of time-lapse mode and the bluetooth connection drops, would it still continue to take shots at the set interval?

No, the phone is what's sending the signals for the shutter to fire. If the connection is dropped, the Smart Trigger will no longer be receiving the signal. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

Would like to know the same. I don't want to buy it if it will accidentally stop recording if put into my pocket.

NO it plays right on through...I usually keep it plugged in when in the kitchen or home and then when leaving unplug for on the road use.... Bluetooth connectivity does not drop either way as well.

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

It varies, guess it depends how strong your wi-fi signal is from your phone, I have been in the house and car parked in driveway watching live video.At other times you could be in the vehicle driving with the phone 2 feet away and it drops out.I bought one and rear camera connector is cheezy be real careful when you plug it in. I emailed company several times and heard nothing back

Haven't found any "lag" between shots at 2-3 seconds each. Most of my photos are portraits and landscapes.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

yes, once you set the shooting mode to continuous it will keep shooting as long as you keep the remote button pushed. i personally don't use it much this way but i have tested it and it works fine.

With my gopro hero3 I have a wifi remote and smartphone app that I can use but while I was out snowboarding I found it was easier to just set my camera to time lapse. I had it at 1 picture per second so every time I wanted a picture I held the pose or position for a few seconds so I got several pictures and chose the best one later. I found that this was best way to do it because most of my pictures picked up a lot of blue because the time lapse setting holds exposure longer so you have to steady it more. I'd suggest spending 10 more dollars and getting a sturdier arm extender.

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

Pretty low compared to using a FW connection on the Canon HD20 I was using it with. FW connection >1 second. BMD Mini Recorder using HD20 HDMI output <0.3 second (guessing). Takes some setting up in BMD software (I needed help from distributor) but once it's configured all good.

Hm, I don't think that bluetooth has the needed bandwidth for video. If possible you should better choose wifi.

Yes it will as long as the music player app you are using has that option. All you have to do is find the setting in the app that allows music to resume playing when bluetooth is connected. And you'll probably want it to have it pause on disconnect. depending on the app, it may have both of those options combined into one option "play/pause on bluetooth connect/disconnect".

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.
