PhotoShip One have a unique, patent pending,
technique to repeatedly and accurately trigger rotating cameras when collecting images for use in aerial panoramas.
The technique uses strategically placed magnets and reed switches to trigger cameras with cable releases at defined points on the compass.
With the addition of gentLED-SHUTTER or gentLED-TRIGGER
the range of cameras can be extended to include those with IR release, like the Sony NEX-5 and NEX-7.
To use this technique the reed switch on the MP360 is used to trigger the gentLED. This can be done in 2 ways:
- For slowly rotating cameras the reed switch is connected directly to gentLED-TRIGGER, a complete solution with built in battery.
- For any rotation speed then the reed switch and an external battery can be connected to gentLED-SHUTTER for the optimum solution.
There are more technical details, photographs of the products,
and a complete list of supported cameras for PhotoShip One's MP360.
With innovation from PhotoShip One and gentLED shutter releases there are more cameras suitable for aerial panoramas.
