NX500 remote shutter?

Hi, I'm looking for a remote shutter for my NX500.

Will this one work? In the description many models are mentioned but not specifically the NX500.

"JJC S-NX Shutter Release Remote for Samsung NX Mini NX30 NX1100 NX2000 NX300 (Black)"

https://www.amazon.com/JJC-S-NX-Shutter-Release-Samsung/dp/B00L7R4B5U

Is there one that would work wirelessly? One that doesn't require a smartphone?

And one that would also support video as well as stills? If it's still only I'd be ok with that

Thanks!

This one specifically mentions the nx500 and is wireless, although doesn't appear to be able to control video.

Re: NX500 remote shutter?

I have JJC wired one and it works on NX500. It does not support video (I'm not sure any do, at least without hack that remaps the buttons). Can't remember when I used it last (or where I put it) as I use Bluetooth shutter functionality. It works with stills and video and has longer range compared to the wired one and leaves the USB port for external power bank.

Any idea if the Samsung wireless remote control "smartphone" app would run on a Kindle? Also, any ideas of where I can download it from? That seems like a better option than the various USB hacks I've seen.

Anybody know or have experience with this one? It sounds nice -

It should work on kindle, IIRC it has Bluetooth, but since you don't have either Google Play or Samsung store, you would have to get apks and install them manually.
That mod works, it's not as simple as Samsung app, but it has many additional features (like working from the browser, controlling multiple devices, etc). All NX1 and NX500 mods are based around one of the two methods that I found. The one that uses Bluetooth (used by Kinoseed's mods) is fully harmless but it takes a few seconds to load. The other (used by Vasile's mod pack) is just slightly more dangerous, but it works faster and there are no issues provided you read and follow the instructions.

I've never tried the non-OEM ones, but the one I have (Samsung SR2NX02) works perfectly with NX500 (for stills), though it was bought long time ago..maybe along with NX20 I think. For video, it just stops the video when you press it. So, pointless to use with video on NX500. It is WIRED.
