Fantastic remote controller for Nikon cameras with easy-to-use, varied feature set!
I used a Pinout camera remote control device (Type B Pro Kit) to do star trails and long exposure photos at night when I was out in Joshua Tree N.P. last weekend. I have attached photos I took using the Pinout below.Here's what I like about it so far:1.) Super easy to register and set up and directly connect to the camera.2.) Does not need to be mounted on the hot shoe and connected with a cable and dongle (again, easy set up).3.) Small and unobtrusive.4.) Bluetooth connection appeared solid most of the time, and even if it wasn't, as long as the star trails or long exposure had been set in motion, it didn't matter. I could fire the connection reliably from at least 50 ft./15 meters away.5.) The app is really nicely laid out and easy to use, and I have not needed the manual so far to figure it out.6.) You can use it to focus the camera as well as trigger it.7.) The star trails portion is very easy to figure out and set and is extremely flexible.8.) Unlike some other apps like the late, great Triggertrap, you don't run down your smartphone. In fact, you can turn off the app on your phone completely, and it will still complete the task at hand, whether star trails or something else.9.) Also does simple release, long exposure, timed release, time-lapse, distance lapse, geo-tagging, bulb ramping LE HDR, LE HDR Time-lapse, and loss prevention (if the device strays beyond a certain distance, it will alert you, but even if the connection were broken, if the exposure had already been set in motion, the PInout faithfully continued).10.) Blinks to let you know that the device is connected.11.) Draws a very small, minimal charge from the camera instead of requiring the device to be charged, which is very convenient because I don't have to be concerned with whether yet another device has been charged.12.) You can close the app and lock the phone and Pinout continues (with Triggertrap, the app had to remain open and illuminated; if you closed the app, its control also stopped).13.) Very quick response/customer service via email.Concerns at this time:1.) I said it was small. This is generally a bonus, but I am concerned that it might be easy to lose. I already put some orange gaffer's tape on it so it would be easier to see, as I am a night photographer, and small tiny things are easy to lose.2.) I am concerned that it will be easy to break off in the camera because I can sometimes hit it against things while doing night photography. Because of this, I purchased a 3-year extended warranty.3.) Only works with Nikon at this time. No plans for Canon or other manufacturers.4.) It does not fit on a Nikon D610 when using an L-Bracket.5.) Occasionally, even when the phone is within 3 ft./1 meter of the Pinout and the camera, a warning would appear saying that I was in danger of breaking the connection. Again, even if the connection were broken, it seemed that if I were doing a star trails or long exposure, Pinout would continue regardless, which is a relief, so this actually doesn't seem to be an issue.
