Universal trigger for the camera
Recently, thanks to the wide distribution of the Arduino platform, many projects of various photo triggers have appeared. Some of them work on the sound, some - on the intersection of the light beam. I would like to get everything in one thing - triggering both the sound and the light. And with the response delay variable directly on the trigger, and not in the program code.
It turned out that I was not alone in my desires, and in one of the photo blogs I came across a presentation of the new project TriggerTrap - a universal trigger for a camera. Read and become a fan of this project.
So what is TriggerTrap? This device, assembled on the Arduino platform, which controls the shutter of your camera (or remote flash). Tripping occurs by:
- beep;
- the intersection of the light beam;
- expiration of the programmed time period (time lapse);
- signal from an external sensor connected to the AUX input.
The control circuits of the camera / flash and photo-trigger are galvanically isolated through opto-isolators. But the most important thing is the open source project! The schematic diagrams will be available under license CC-BY-SA-3.0, and the program code - under GPLv3.
The organizers of the project as a condition for the start of the project set a goal to collect $ 25,000 donations during the month. But a week later, thanks to the active illumination of the project in online media, more than $ 26,000 was raised. Moreover, these are not just donations - in fact, this is an advance, depending on the size of which the participant receives from a simple mention on the website to a Canon Rebel T3i camera with a 50/1.8 lens, a set of three photo triggers and other nice things. The most popular option was a donation of $ 75 or more - for this the participant receives a professionally made, ready-to-use photo trigger. By the way, I chose this option for myself.
You can talk about the project for a long time, but it’s better to watch a video presentation from its ideological mastermind - Haje Jan Kamps
