If you've ever seen a breathtaking shot and felt a deep twinge of envy, the UK15 TriggerSmart Control Unit from Quantum Instruments is your solution. The controller recognizes sound, light, and infrared to fire your camera. The light intensity mode triggers the camera when the light changes dramatically. You can also tweak the sensitivity to suit your situation.
Sound mode triggers the camera when the controller detects a loud sound such as fireworks or thunder. This mode's sensitivity can also be adjusted to trigger your camera. Infrared mode fires the camera when the controller senses motion through its infrared beam
UK15 TriggerSmart Control Unit
The TriggerSmart Control Unit is the heart (and brains) of the TriggerSmart system. The sensors connect to the control unit as does the camera. With the various sensors plugged into the controller you are able to adjust the triggering sensitivity, impose a delay on the trigger if desired, and set the number of camera exposures you want to shoot. For example, if you are shooting a bullet breaking a glass, you want the camera to fire on the sound of the gun's report, but not on other sounds, so you set the sensitivity so it won't respond to lesser sounds. If you realize that the gun's report triggers the shutter too quickly, you establish a delay with a simple turn of the knob on the control unit. If you just can't get the right image with a single shot, set the controller so your camera shoots continuously in order to get the perfect image of the bullet breaking the glass.
