Followup: I made a thing (remote trigger for analog cameras)
Quite some time ago, I asked for feedback on a project of mine, because I wanted to extend the functionality of my film cameras.
It was a long ride, but in the end there is now a device, RS1, which allows you to connect your phone to your film camera (mechanical & electrical shutter, Super 8… you name it). At the moment there are some simple modes like a single shot remote, a timer feature, interval, and a mode for film cameras like Super 8.
Because of the last feedback, the device now has a screen, so you can use it without your phone as a remote and control it via that. Maybe there will be a future version without a screen, much smaller. But we will see.
I also fixed the problem of compatibility with different lengths of the pushing pin for mechanical shutters.
This is only a sneak peek — there will be a YouTube video coming soon with more information and deeper insights into my journey.
Should I make this open source? Let me know what you think about it. Cheers.
PS: These are renderings, but the device exists already as a V1 fully functional. No advertisement, i only want to contribute something to the analog community.
