MIOPS is a new camera trigger that’s controlled by your smartphone

MIOPS is a new smartphone-controlled camera trigger created by the minds behind the Nero Trigger. Looking to get financed through Kickstarter, the team behind it hopes to combine all of the features users want in a high-speed camera trigger into one convenient device. MIOPS promises an impeccable level of both control and performance through a hotshoe-mounted device. It will connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth (through a dedicated app) to get the most out of its feature set. However, to ensure that MIOPS is still usable even if your smartphone dies, the team was wise enough to include dedicated controls into the body of the device as well. It will feature three primary control modes: lightning, laser, and sound. Each of these trigger the camera under quick changes in light, the breaking of a laser-beam fired by the device, and dramatic changes in noise, respectively. An interesting feature about the sound-trigger, specifically, is that rather than firing the shutter, it fires off the flash to minimize delay.
