I have a lightinig trigger I am waiting to test out, built by modifying an optical flash trigger to drive the remote shutter release.
Am also working on remote trigger via FRS radio.
Hehe, yeah, a DIY forum would be nice -- unfortunately, I've been spending more time building things for the camera than actually using it!
That will be quickly rectified though, looking forward to a week in the desert next week -- lots of time to just shoot. hehe.
I've seen some people doing the lightning trigger thing before, there's been some question as to how well one would work, but I imagine if it works 30% of the time, it's better than using bulb mode!
Trigger via FRS? That sounds fun! Why FRS instead of, say, bluetooth?
Fortunately, triggering the camera is really easy, it's all the other things that can be hard. One of my next up-and-coming projects is to build an off-camera light meter that integrates with my motion/shutter control system to make appropriate ramps in exposure during sunset/sunrise timelapses. Though, I may have to take some time off from camera stuff, I promised the lady I'd make us a new bed, and I really want to make some interactive art for the living room. *sigh* If only I didn't have to work!
