I want to start by sharing how completely excited I am for a new product called Trigger Happy, it's seriously the most innovative and high tech camera trigger out there. I'm really excited about this new product, it's still in development but it looks very promising and adds a lot of neat features to your remote.
It works off your iPhone or Android through a specially designed cable then plugs into your Canon or Nikon camera (some other cameras are supported too). It sends an audio signal to a chip in the cable which does some magic and turns it into a signal your camera can read, thus triggering the shutter of your camera.
Some of the rad features currently includes:
-
Simple camera trigger
-
Bulb functionality for long exposures
-
Time-lapse mode (intervalometer)
-
HDR mode
-
Bramping (Bulb Ramping) for time-lapses from day to night, etc.
Other features in development:
-
A way to trigger the camera when the accelerometer data of the phone changes.
-
Face detection. When a face enters the phone's view, the camera can fire.
-
Lightning detection.
-
Audio waveform detection.
Why Trigger Happy over your standard camera remote?
-
Don't need to remember another device, just toss the small cable in your bag and have use your phone to trigger your camera
-
Bramping
-
More advanced
-
Less expensive and with more features
I had the opportunity to see a live private demo of it and can say it works great, can't wait to get my hands on one.
