gentLED-SHUTTER
is our solution to trigger digital stills cameras with IR capability. It
can be triggered directly from a standard Radio Control (RC) system, or by any
switch contact via the "blue wire". Comes with a 25cm (10") 3-pin
standard servo
lead, & weighs 4grams.
Features are:
normal operation: Movement of the RC Transmitter stick from one extreme to the other will trigger the camera.
continuous operation: If the stick is held in the ‘on’ position photos will be taken every 5-6 secs.
switch operation: This is an extra blue wire to the device which if shorted to black triggers the device . This allows triggering with either a RC channel, and/or any device that can short two wires together.
repeat operation: When enabled this makes the gentled trigger the camera every 25seconds even if no trigger is received. This option is enabled by shorting the switch's blue wire to black at power-up. Please note that the gentLED-SHUTTER is not an adjustable intervalometer - see
gentLED-AUTO.
More information: Operating Manual.
gentLED-ZOOM allows control of the zoom via another channel on the RC
receiver. This channel is center biased (like a standard RC control stick) and
pushing the stick in either direction will zoom in and out. Comes with a 25cm
(10") 3-pin standard servo lead & weighs 4grams.
More information: Operating
Manual.
Note: To control shutter and zoom you will need to purchase two devices.
Also note that the Pentax zoom doesn't give full control of the zoom, but
is limited by the camera to three pre-set focal lengths, for the extremes and center
of the lens on the camera.
