This is a simple, stupid question. I just bought a Canon remote control BR-E2 for my R6iii. I want to check the battery. I cannot open the battery compartment. Before you conclude I’m an idiot, I’m a mechanical engineer with decades of real world experience.
I have followed the instructions to a T (slide the battery compartment release button toward the compartment, the pull out the battery holder - sounds simple, right?). No matter which tools I use, no matter how much time I spend, the compartment will simply not slide out. Whoever designed the mechanism should be shot.
Has anyone successfully replaced the battery in this remote? Is it even possible? I’m afraid I’m destroying the remote, but all I’m doing is becoming frustrated and damaging the compartment door. Please share your experiences.
Canon - if you are listening, fire whoever was responsible for designing and approving the mechanism used in the remote.
