Using the BackPacker Still shooting - Photos For shooting still photos, we recommend you purchase a remote monitor and shutter controller for your camera. Most BackPacker dealers also offer remote controls for focus and shutter release. We offer a 6 or 12 foot extension cable for those purchasing wired remote controls. An optional monitor is an excellent method for remote framing of your stills before releasing the shutter.
