Set a start and end time and the camera fires automatically, so you don’t need to be on site to catch sunrise, sunset or the start of an event.
A larger display and orange backlight make times and shot counts easier to read in low light than the previous TC-80N3, so you can check your settings at a glance during night shoots.
New cross keys, a dedicated power button and a rear tripod socket make it easier to mount and operate, and it now runs on two AAA batteries instead of a button cell.
N3: EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II and other N3-terminal cameras.
E3: EOS R6 Mark III, EOS R8 Mark II and other E3-terminal cameras (as of July 2026).
Both offer the same functions. The difference is the terminal plug, which matches the remote socket on your specific EOS camera, so you’ll need the version that fits your model.
A new function that lets you set an exact start and end time for shooting, rather than a countdown. Ideal for sunrise, sunset, or the start of an event when you can’t be on site.
Two AAA batteries, replacing the button-cell battery used in the previous TC-80N3 — easier to find and replace when you’re out shooting.
