TriggerSmart
The smart way to trigger your camera using light, sound and motion!
An unique motion capture system that is affordable! The TriggerSmart is designed to easily capture images using many different ways to trigger a camera using Sound, Light Intensity Increase, Infra-Red Beam Breaking and Movement. A great variety of stills and video cameras can be used, digital as well as film based cameras.
The easiest way to understand the TriggerSmart system is to view the introduction video on You Tube or on Vimeo .
There are also a number of TriggerSmart reviews.

Exploding Glass Colours
TriggerSmart was used in the Sound Trigger mode set off by the sound of the air rifle that was used to shoot the glass.
The sophisticated TriggerSmart is designed for use by stills or video imagemakers to facilitate the capture of images that would normally be very difficult or impossible to achieve. This system offers a simple and affordable way of triggering cameras by the use of various sensors for the detection of sound, sudden light intensity increase or the interruption of an Infra-Red beam.
The Hungry Squirrel
The TriggerSmart was used in the IR Beam Breaking mode. The squirrel moving through an IR beam fired the camera.
An additional "Tilt-Sensor Switch" will detect movement, adding yet another dimension to this extraordinary trigger system.
The abilities of all the sensors are controlled and enhanced by the MCT-1 control unit. It is used to adjust sensitivity and introduce delays in triggering the camera. Single exposure or continuous shooting over given time spans can be chosen.
Fireworks
The TriggerSmart was used with the
Light Intensity Sensor.
See more examples of images produced with Triggersmart in the Triggersmart Gallery, on Flickr and an extensive review at ePhotozine.
The TriggerSmart is now available from Flaghead Photographic (call or email us) and several retailers.
