The Ulanzi UT01 is a Bluetooth remote shutter for phones that does more than just take pictures. The dial on the front switches between an instant shutter and an audible 3 s, 5 s or 10 s countdown, and the side button doubles as a scroll control for browsing social media and e-books without touching the screen. The battery lasts over 100,000 clicks and 290 days on standby, and it charges over USB-C even while in use. At 15 g with its own bag clip, you won't notice it until you need it.
A Bluetooth remote with a dial for an instant shutter or a 3, 5 and 10 s countdown. The side button scrolls videos and pages without touching the screen. It weighs just 15 g.

Stand the phone on a tripod or prop it up and hold the remote in your hand. The dial switches shutter and countdown, the side button moves content on the screen.
Phone on a tripod, remote in hand.
Catch movement at a steady rhythm.
Flip through with one press.
Turn pages with a double press.
The dial on the front switches between an instant shutter and a 3, 5 or 10-second countdown announced by sound. Stand the phone on a tripod and hold the remote in your hand, so you do not need a second person outdoors. The volume cannot be adjusted.

In burst mode the shutter fires frames at a precise, steady rhythm, so it captures the fraction of a second when something happens: a step, a jump, a gesture. Useful wherever a single frame is not enough.

The built-in 200 mAh cell is rated by the maker for over 100,000 shutter clicks and more than 290 days on standby. It charges over USB-C, and you can use the remote while it charges. Battery life depends on environment and usage.

The side button also works as a remote scroll control, so you drive the phone from your hand, your pocket or across the room (range about 10 m). Sit back and browse content or switch modes without touching the display.

No more thumb fatigue: one press moves short videos on social media up and down, two presses move them left and right. The phone can sit on a tripod or lie on the table while you just press the button.
A double press turns the page in a reader or a book app, so there is no endless swiping. You read at your own pace with the phone propped up anywhere.
A lanyard is included, letting the UT01 clip onto a bag strap, a keyring or a wrist. At 15 g it stays with you all the time and is ready the moment a shot worth taking shows up.

Turned on, the UT01 enters pairing mode on its own. Pick "UT01" from the phone's Bluetooth device list and the remote is ready to use right away, with no app to install.
