Hello,

It should work once we release the new version of Helicon Remote with support for wireless communication. We're trying to finish it sooner rather than later. Will you be interested in testing the beta before release?
We have a 5D MkII and WFT-4A. 1D X and WFT-6A should probably work as well, but there might be some slight changes between the WFT models that could make Remote incompatible with WFT-6, there's no way to tell for sure without actually trying it.

What operating system do you want to use Remote on? And are you familiar with the basics of setting WFT up? We haven't made a manual yet.

I use it on Android 4.1.1 and also can use on MacOS 10.8. I don't need manual because I can configure WFT without instruction, but I need to know mode settings for WFT

Try this version (it's for Mac OS): http://downloads.heliconfilter.com/Heli ... te_266.dmg

Start Remote first, then set WFT module up. Connection procedure is the same as for connecting to EOS Utility. Remote should recognize the camera automatically: the button in the upper right corner of Remote will become active and will say "select a camera", you should click the button and then click an item in the list that will appear (there should only be one item - Canon WFT).
