I just spoke to Angelo on live support. They are working on Pentax support and will update via email when available.........
Who knows when it would be available (if ever) But a great idea!

Would be great.

If the product and company were solid, I'd buy one immediately at the price shown above.

"Were"? Is there any reason to believe it's not?

[glanglois]

Good catch, gazonk! Your English is more precise than mine.

In formal English usage, the future subjective (mood) suggests that I don't believe that the company and product will be solid. In fact, I know nothing of them so it's early days to be disbelieving.

But I'm certain that many writers use the future subjunctive to indicate mere uncertainty. As you can see, I did exactly that. And I have a lot of uncertainty about most subjects related to photography. And everything else, come to think of it ...

Sure, I'm not a native speaker so I won't object to that. I was just curious.

For e.g. wildlife photography it must be extremely fun to remote control a camera with a good app on a phone/tablet (a smaller tablet like the iPad mini would be ideal, I think). It should have AF-by-touch like the iPad/iPhone camera! Even for casual users this could be valuable - I know for certain that my half hearted attempts at shooting birds in our garden would have given much better results if I could place the camera on a tripod and remote control it.

[glanglois]

Now that I have an iPad, I can certainly see value in this arrangement.

My tripod can shoot in an inverted mode, leaving the camera just a few inches above the ground/floor. But my eyes don't seem to get that far down, located as they are on the top of me.
