Pluto Trigger is a high-speed smart camera trigger that's controlled by a free iPhone/Android app over Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) that can be used for remote shooting, time-lapse, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, video recording and lightning photography.
It enables your DSLR to do high-speed photography triggered by sound, by light, or by something breaking a laser beam aimed at the Pluto Trigger (the laser is included). With the built-in PIR sensor, Pluto Trigger can detect animals’ body heat and take photos. It can also wait until a person is smiling to shoot a photo or take pictures triggered by motion or vibration. Do you know those fancy photos of water droplets colliding in mid-air? There's a mode for that too (Droplet Valve required) -- 24 modes in all.
