Phase Trigger the digital camera trigger

Phase Trigger is an automatic trigger for digital cameras. It is using multiple sensors that enable it to be used both for high-speed capture as well as wildlife photography. It can be used as an auxiliary device in cases where a picture taking is to take place at a certain point in time that was difficult to define previously.

High Speed Fotografie

Brief moments, such as the impact of a droplet, can be reproduced and photographed with high precision. By varying the time delay of the trigger, different phases of an impact can be captured in detail. Laser sensors are best suited for these cases as their linear detection area can be adjusted precisely.

Nature photography

In nature photography, the use of Phase Trigger is particularly suited for cases in which animals are observed over long periods of time but where the time window to record a particular image is very narrow. Using the automatic trigger to record a picture series, the success rate of capturing the right moment can be increased significantly, especially if animal behaviour such as the flight path of a bird can be reproduced for several shots.

High-speed photography

Recording the moment a bullet exits a firearm is a challenge that Phase Trigger can master with the help of a sound sensor. As the speed of a bullet is around 600 to 800 m/s, only burning times of 1/30000s in the flash tube can be used as exposure times. Phase Trigger ignites the flash unit precisely in the extremely short moment in which the bullet leaves the barrel.

Macro photography

Macro shots of flying insects require precise and fast focus and lots of light to capture their fast movement as a result of the critical depth of field. One solution for such cases are socalled cross sensors with a LASER which can monitor a point in the room and trigger the flash unit in exactly the moment that the object is located at that point.
