This B&H Kit consists of the MIOPS Camera Trigger the Mobile Dongle for Apple iOS and Android, and a shutter release cable for Canon 3-Pin cameras with a USB connector. It is a versatile way to capture images using lightning, sound, or laser to trigger your camera or flash. It features six different modes of operation with adjustable sensitivity depending on your given shooting situation.

In addition to the lightning, sound, and laser, Timelapse and HDR modes enable additional creative output, and an external port can connect to various sensors to trigger your camera based on variables such as temperature, pressure, or humidity. An app for either iOS or Android allows you to control the MIOPS from your smart phone using Bluetooth connectivity. When not using a smartphone, all functions can be controlled by a color LCD screen on the unit.

You may also extend the range of your triggering system by taking the MIOPS remote off camera with the included Mobile Dongle for iOS and Android. By connecting your smartphone directly to your camera, you can now take the MIOPS remote a distance away and then wirelessly trigger the camera through the phone. The remote will send a signal over Bluetooth to tell the phone to set off the camera and/or flash unit.

Miops Camera Trigger

The MIOPS Camera Trigger is a versatile way to capture images using lightning, sound, or laser to trigger your camera or flash. It features six different modes of operation with adjustable sensitivity depending on your given shooting situation.

In addition to the lightning, sound, laser, timelapse, and HDR modes enable additional creative output. An external port can connect to various sensors to trigger your camera based on variables such as temperature, pressure, or humidity. An app for either iOS or Android allows you to control the MIOPS from your smartphone using Bluetooth connectivity. When not using a smartphone, all functions can be controlled by a color LCD screen on the unit.

Lightning Mode
A built-in light sensor detects changes in light and triggers your camera's shutter in just a few nanoseconds. You can capture only bright lightning strikes, or the smallest strikes, simply by adjusting the sensitivity. This mode can also be used to capture fireworks, or other events where you need to capture images based on changes in light.
Laser Mode
The MIOPS has a built-in sensor to detect when a laser beam is broken, thereby triggering your camera's shutter. This is useful for detecting subjects such as water drops, animals, or intruders when conducting surveillance.
Sound Mode
MIOPS's built-in microphone can detect sound, triggering your camera or flash to capture things like breaking glass, or a popping balloon. You can adjust the delay of the trigger as well as the sensitivity of amount of sound needed to trigger the shutter.
Timelapse Mode
This mode lets you specify the interval time anywhere between one second and one hour, as well as how many photos to take. The LCD screen will turn off to save energy, allowing you to take a timelapse photo for days, or even months if you use an external power source.
HDR Mode
Even if your camera doesn't have a bracketing feature, MIOPS allows you to set a center exposure, as well as the over and under exposures needed in order to make an HDR image.
External Port
A port on the MIOPS can accept any external trigger that has an output signal between 0V and 3V, such as a temperature, pressure, or humidity sensor.
Combining Sensors
You can combine sensors with MIOPS's Scenario feature by creating a custom scenarios with up to five different steps. For example, you can set the MIOPS to start taking timelapse photos only after it detects lightning.
Triggering Your Camera and Flash
MIOPS has two dedicated outputs, one for a flash, and another for a camera. They are electrically isolated from each other, reducing risk of a short circuit. The MIOPS trigger can be used with multiple cameras (not simultaneously) by simply changing the camera connection cable.
Mini-USB Port
The mini-USB port allows you to charge your Li-ion battery, as well as update the MIOPS's firmware.
Compatibility
MIOPS can be used with any cameras which have a remote shutter trigger port or an IR port, and any and flash units with a PC sync jack.

Camera Trigger with Mobile Dongle Kit for Canon 3-Pin Cameras Reviews

Waiting for resolution

Three weeks ago I purchased a Miops Smart to use for my Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon R5. The challenge I am having is operating the Smart from my Android device. Miops customer service seems to be interested in helping resolve the problems but is slow and uncertain. I am surprised that Miops has not developed a seemless interface between Canon and Android. After all, these are mainstream platforms. Hopefully Miops will resolve the interface.

Easy to handle, lightweight, you need the cables for each camera, so far satisfied with the product, a lot of practice to let your imagination fly.

The trigger works as described and has a very easy user interface. Ensure you get the 2.5mm cable if you have a Canon EOS 60D.

Appears to be state-of-the art devise and will use it primarily for lightning but have not been able to test it at this point

The MiOps itself will, just make sure you have the right connector for the remote port (attached). Alternatively, you can get an adapter (Remote Controller Adapter RA-E3).
