Triggertrap

If $200–$300 is too costly but you still want to control your DSLR from the

iPad, the $30 Triggertrap is a great option. It doesn’t give you a live view

from the camera—in fact, you don’t see any photos at all—but it does offer

many methods of triggering the shutter. The Triggertrap app is free; the

$30 is to purchase a dongle that’s compatible with your camera.

Yes, you can remotely capture a shot of a speciﬁc duration, but that’s just

the start. Triggertrap uses the iPad (or iPhone) sensors to do things like ﬁre

the shutter when a loud noise (such as a clap, whistle, or tap) occurs

(4.5),

ﬁre when you are driving and want a shot captured out the window every

20 kilometers, and ﬁre when a person enters the picture (for cameras that do

not offer built-in facial recognition).

Triggertrap is also ideal if you want extreme control over time-lapse and

long-exposure photography. The Wi-Fi Master mode works with another

iOS device to control Triggertrap remotely (for example, when you want to

capture starﬁelds but would prefer to sit inside a cabin where it’s warm).

 Tip For some creative shooting, check out the Triggertrap Flash Adapter,

an add-on that lets you shoot high-speed photos (water droplets, glass

breaking) using the strobes you likely already own.

4.5 Trigger the

shutter based on

noise level.
