DSLR Camera Remote Control sensors

Please read Liability Disclaimer and License Agreement CAREFULLY

For GVI DSR Camera Remote Control I have made three sensors: light, sound and projectile.

They can trigger the camera automatically when events like lightning, loud sounds are detected.

Each sensor is connected to the camera remote control using a stereo cable - male-male jack of 3.5 mm.

Each sensor receives his power (4.5 -5V) through the tip terminal and sends signal to the camera remote control through the ring terminal.

5.1. Sound Sensor

This sensor offers a gain (amplification) of 10000x, 100x on each of the two stages of amplification.

The DSLR camera remote control can be programmed to trigger the camera or other devices connected to it when the sound level goes above or below a preset value.

Sensor assembled in a standard plastic case.

5.2. Light Sensor

This sensor offers a gain (amplification) of 10000x, 100x on each of the two stages of amplification.

The DSLR camera remote control can be programmed to trigger the camera or other devices connected to it when the light level goes above or below a preset value.

In Lighting mode if a spike appears it will trigger the camera tanking the average light level as reference for measurement.

5.3. Projectile Sensor

 This sensor detect when a fast ans small object passes between the two photo gates. Because the distance between the photo gates is known, the

DSLR Camera Remote Control when the object will reach a preset distance. Can be used also for free falling objects.

I also make hotshoe adaptor to connect a flash to the remote (see picture below).

A hot shoe is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit.

5.4 Dripper

 

With the Dripper device used in Drops Menu you can obtain results like those in the following links Water drops collision or Milk Crowns. The DSLR camera Remote Control

has full control of the valves, flash and will trigger the camera at the right time to take a great picture.
