There are a lot of remote controllers in the market right now, and so you don’t have to suffer trying to figure out how to press the shutter from a distance or to take photos and videos remotely. A new Kickstarter project is one of those and it offers even more functionality and features not just for the selfie-crazy, but more so for the “serious” photographers. Pulse is a wireless remote system that where you will be able to control your photography moments through an app on your smartphone.
Pulse is actually a wireless flat rectangular dongle that you can attach to your camera’s hot shoe. You can connect it to your camera’s USB port and it has a Bluetooth connection that can reach up to 100 feet away. Its most basic function is as a shutter release (of the high end variety) either for long exposures when you lock the shutter open, or you can just set it on a timer to capture an image. But of course there is more to this than just those basic things.
For one, the time-lapse function is enhanced, and one of the additions is the Exposure Ramping feature wherein it will adjust the ISO and shutter speed for you when the lighting conditions change, like when taking a video of sunrise or sunsets. If what you’re shooting is in low light, Pulse will help you keep the camera absolutely still to get that money shot. Of course you can also use it in something as basic as taking group pictures. It also has a preview of the image that is in front of the camera which you can see on the app on your phone, so that’s a pretty handy tool to have always.
They have actually already reached their goal of $50,000 but there is still 25 days to go to support it. You need to pledge $74 to be one of the first to have to have Pulse and you will have a savings of $25 off the expected retail price.
