– DarleneAnother extremely useful mode is the time lapse feature.

MIOPS SPLASH is fully smartphone supported. MIOPS Smart Trigger is a rugged little device that is easy to set up and use. MIOPS Smart Trigger is a versatile camera and flash trigger in a single unit and provides advanced triggering modes like Lightning, Sound, Laser, Timelapse, HDR and more.

Pluto uses LiPo battery like MIOPS Mobile Remote and they work around 24 hours with one charge.

But of course, this isn’t the trigger’s only feature, and there were plenty of other modes to keep me busy and satisfied.Not exactly frozen or what we were hoping for.

The trigger has a 3.5mm stereo jack on the side of the housing, and this allows you to connect a multitude of external sensors, adjust the threshold (percentage of change from the sensor), the delay of the trigger event in milliseconds, and mode, which lets you set what type of event detected from the external (add-on) sensor will trigger the unit, such as change, increase, or decrease.This mode is advanced, and requires multiple connections in most cases, but the possibilities are almost endless.

MIOPS Splash Water Drop KitCompared to the MIOPS Basic Splash Kit, this package includes the standalone camera-and-flash trigger, a flash cable, and a holder arm dedicated for the Splash unit. You can control drop size and interval.

This will let some fluid from the valve out, so be prepared for it. This mode is also sensitive to other types of light, such as fireworks, sparks, as well as artificial light, widening the gamut of possibilities.

Sensors that measure changes in temperature, pressure, humidity, or motion can all be used to trigger the camera’s shutter.Scenario mode basically allows the user to program the unit by stringing together a series of functions, and having them execute based on a unique situation.

The newer version was reworked, inside and out, to be a more rugged and competent accessory. My thinking was for the $100 less for the Pluto I could get the water vslve for an extra $40, the cable I needed for the trigger to the camera (it is NOT included so order with your Pluto) and still come out less, plus you get a laser.

This mode requires a constant laser beam to be fed into the front sensor, and will trigger the camera when this beam is broken.The laser doesn’t have to be a particular type or color, meaning a $10 pen laser pointer from an electronics store will do just fine.

I think though, that you would benefit with using a metal nozzle and not a plastic one, I did just that and it works much better.Overall, I love this unit.

You could program Lightning Mode as the first step, capturing a set number of stills of the lightning, and then immediately activating Time Lapse Mode in the second step, capturing photos at 5 second intervals to assemble later.For each step, all of the usual parameters for each mode are available.I didn’t get the chance to try this scenario out during an actual thunderstorm, but I did attempt to string together a couple of functions and execute them, and the results were excellent. MIOPS SPLASH WATER DROP KIT controls every drop and your equipment with a great precision. Order Pluto Valve.

Flash units are connected via the PC sync jack, and cameras are connected through the remote shutter release jack, meaning any camera or flash unit with these common connectors can be potentially be paired with the MIOPS trigger.The MIOPS trigger can either mount on your DSLR’s hotshoe connector, or on your tripod or light stand, via a standard screw-in connection.The unit can be connected for charging via a micro-USB cable, which basically means most smartphone charging cables, which are readily available.
