Canon 6363B001 GP-E2 GPS Receiver: For EOS 5D Mark III, 7D

The Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver is designed for photographers and videographers who need accurate, automatic geotagging on their Canon EOS cameras. Once connected via the hot shoe or USB terminal, the GP-E2 records longitude, latitude, elevation, compass direction, and UTC time directly into each image's EXIF data. This eliminates the need for manual location logging and makes it straightforward to organize and map large photo collections after a shoot. The built-in electronic compass captures the direction you are facing at the moment of capture, adding another layer of useful metadata for landscape, architectural, and documentary work.

Beyond camera-connected use, the GP-E2 can operate as a standalone GPS logger, recording a track of your movements that can later be synced with images taken during the same time period. The unit's built-in atomic clock also lets you synchronize your camera's internal clock for precise time accuracy across time zones. Powered by a single AA alkaline battery, the receiver is designed for efficient power consumption, keeping it running through extended shoots without adding the weight or complexity of proprietary rechargeable packs.
