Ratings and reviews

Along with the required hardware, this app makers it easy to control your DSLR or mirrorless camera wirelessly over a Bluetooth connection. I've used it for lighting photos, bursts photos triggered by lights, and long (3 minute) exposures. The great part is when I am shooting in inclimate weather, I can be used my car while the Pluto Trigger does the work. Note: because of hardware limitations of the trigger, you can not retrieve it view photos from your your camera on your phone with this app.

For some reason this is triggering my dropper to drop way after my shutter and flash go off. I've set the flash as high as 3000 and notice no difference. I've tried using a shutter speed of 1 second and still the drops happen after the shutter closes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Hopefully this works. UPDATE half a day going back and forth with support and the dropper system all works fantastically. As it should. I am so pleased with the customer support and now the product. Thank

June 2022. I have now used the app for a limited time but am still surprised by the lack of updates (none) to keep up with other similar apps. starting to look dated lacking in certain areas. A lot has changed in photography in those three years. - From 2019 review haven't yet used the app but I am considering purchasing the system. My only reason for holding back is the lack of consistent firmware updating. The latest update is dated 2019, now Sept 2021.
