Pulse

Pulse connects to your camera through USB and controls your camera's shutter, ISO, aperture, and video wirelessly over Bluetooth up to 100 feet using the Pulse App for iOS or Android. Advanced features including: Time Lapse, Exposure Ramping, Video Start/Stop, and Thumbnail Image/Histogram transfer. Control up to 3 Pulses at once and free up your phone's wifi and battery. Pulse lasts for 24 hours for a full day's work- you'll always want it on your camera! Check out Pulse Specs.

Spark

Spark is a 3-in-one remote that combines the power of app control, the range of IR triggering, and the reliability of a traditional wired remote. Pair that with a battery that lasts for more than 2000 hours of use, and you’ve got a remote ready for any occasion.

    Radian 2

    Radian 2 controls your camera's shutter, aperture, and ISO and allows you to add panning, tilting, and/or sliding motion to your time lapses. Wirelessly program Radian 2 over Bluetooth from the Radian App for iOS or Android. Avoid blurry images with move-shoot-move time lapse intervals and take smooth video with continuous movement. Control up to 3 Radians at once for 2-3 axis movement. Radian 2 uses Bluetooth to free up your phone's wifi and lasts 24 hours for a full day's work! Check out Radian 2 Specs.

      Michron

      Michron creates advanced time lapses on any camera with a shutter port and is so small you'll never want to leave it behind. The [Michron App] allows you to upload features such as Bulb Ramping, Interval Ramping, and HDR without staying connected to your phone. Michron allows you to avoid accidentally moving your camera with an external or phone-connected trigger. Check out the Michron Specs- this is our original Kickstarter product!
