    This guy is great. Normally the first 10 minutes is how I love my old camera and I had rice crispies for breakfast, this guy is straight into the info, explains it well and is thorough.

    We want to make some clarification of the problems mentioned in the review: 1. Due to the Bulb mode limitation on the cameras, the Pluto Trigger can not time an exposure less than 1/20 second. So the HDR mode is actually Long Exposure HDR. 2. It is actually very easy to use the Timer mode. First set the start time (e.g. "8H 0M 0S” -- 8am) and end time (e.g. “14H 0M 0S” -- 2pm). Then choose the mode to take photos or record video. If you choose Photo mode, you have the option to set the interval. For example, set the interval to 10s. Then Pluto Trigger will take photos every 10 seconds from 8am to 2pm every day. If you choose Video mode, set the re-trigger time to "30M 3S" to overcome the 30mins recording limitation. 3. For the Vibration mode, you can set the sensitivity to very low (close to 0). Then you will be able to trigger your camera by shaking your phone. Sometimes this could be very useful. For example, when you are taking photos of fireworks, you just shake your phone when you see fireworks show up. 4. For the Voice mode, you need to say "Pluto" slowly, like "P-lu-to".

      Could the vibration mode be triggered by a phone call with phone set to vibrate. You could call from elsewhere to trigger a photo.

    Is it possible to use the Pluto Trigger for automatic continuous high speed shooting? = setting a delay, hitting the button in the app and the camera will shoot 20 images in high speed mode? Maybe also with a 10 seconds pause afterwards and that it will start again? So without holding my finger on the button (only once, to start the session)?

    Hi Spyros, your reviews and tutorials are simply the best. I re-watched "how to photographs fireworks" for the 4th of July...that's when i realized how handy a remote shutter like PLUTO could be. If you guys wanna learn to shoot in MANUAL mode, Spyros' tutorials are fantastic. I love your passion and i'm getting so much better at taking pictures and i'm no longer afraid to miss a shot. Thanks my friend.

    I've seen a lot of negative comments in reviews about the HDR function so I'd like to give a different opinion. My Nikon P950 is limited to 3 shots of 1 stop intervals. Not nearly enough for my uses. The Pluto Trigger allows me to take my HDR on the P90 to the next level.

  • @bobpatterson670
    @bobpatterson670 4 года назад

    Enjoyed the video. Thanks for that. It wasn't clear to me what the Pluto sensed to trigger the camera while in the lightning setting. Is it the difference of the light (bright vs dark) or is it triggered by a visual change (infrared which we can't see) in the air surrounding the lightning before a strike happens. Thanks.

After watching your review, I ordered the Pluto trigger. I am now awaiting delivery. Thank you

    This is a wonderful review. As I was watching, I started having questions. Just as I had my question, sure enough, the answer was given. I just moved to Tampa, FL, the lightening capital of the world. I got tired of doing multiple bursts of shots trying to accidentally catch a lightening bolt and started looking for other options. I had it narrowed down to the Pluto or the Miops. While the Miops does a lot of other things, after watching this video, I think that the Pluto will do for now. Later, I might want more, but it looks like the Pluto will do lightening just fine. Thanks! You just saved me $100!!

  • @HughTrudeau

    When using the nd filter calculator you need to know exactly how many stops your filter really is. You may buy a 6 stop filter that's actually more like a 4 or 5 stop filter. Some companies aren't that precise when they make theirs. But as long as you know where your filter actually is you can use the calculator fine.

    @jimmacaulay844 5 лет назад

    This sounds very interesting! Nice review, thanks.
    I'm looking for an inexpensive studio strobe trigger, or even a DIY one, and might be able to use this along with all the other kewl features. But I'm not clear whether it would do what I want, which is: I want to use a pair of small flash units behind the subject to (a) light the background, and (b) serve as a hair light. These units, in Nikon's Commander mode are super easy to set up and adjust from the camera menu, and are adjusted and controlled by the popup flash's preflash. Very nice. But my Cowboy Studio main strobes are simple, only need a flash or PC cord to trigger, adjustments are from the back of each strobe which I find easy. But, what triggers them? The preflash would, but occurs before the shutter opens. I do have a cheap RF transmitter and 2 receivers, which works fine, but still needs something to trigger the transmitter. The transmitter could be attached to a slave unit sitting next to the background/hairlight strobes so it would only be triggered by these strobes, not the preflash.
    So, can the Pluto sense the background/hairlight strobes, and trigger the RF transmitter? Or can it only operate the camera, not an other device? Yes, those slaves are cheap, but the reviews on them are very bad, and it would just be yet another piece of hardware to keep track of. What thinks you?

      As to why the pluto is not triggering the camera, I couldn't say without way more information. Have you tried contacting Pluto support? They've always been very responsive in the past.

  • @hoorayforpentax3801
    @hoorayforpentax3801 8 лет назад

    Now all they need is a variant that can push a physical plunger for old film cameras - if you want to do ultra long exposures running into hours, nothing could be better than (say) a Spotmatic or similar, which will fire and stay open for as long as you want without the issue of running out of battery power. Admittedly it's probably easier to just set your phone's alarm and use an old fashioned release cable (or go back even further and use an SV or S1a or something similar with "Time" mode, that leaves the shutter open until you command it to shut; again, no battery issues.)
