Re: remotely activated shutter for pinhole cameras

Yeah Andy how much is this shutter?    I have thought about using my 8x10 for pin hole work but I would probably just use one of my Copal shutters.  but thats not remote and I would just use T.   I also just found this.  Not sure what it would cost because I didn't bother to read it yet.  haha.   http://photo.net/medium-format-photography-forum/00DD6V

You all think there there might be some interest in a shuttering device that would allow the making of a pinhole photograph while at a distance from the camera? By remote radio control. I am asking because a friend of mine wanted such a device and I made him one (based on an inexpensive radio controlled toy car) but now am wondering if anyone else might be interested in such a thing. Opinions??

I am now making a second one (this for me) because I did not "document" the making of the first one!!

Well, if you're working with a DSLR or EVIL/mirrorless/whatever-name-you-like body, you can use the in-body shutter, with whatever trigger / remote / intervalometer or whatever you'd normally use.  But pinhole is more interesting for larger formats, so perhaps a lot of people doing it are using something without a focal-plane shutter.

(Also, for controlling the focal-plane shutter, the Trigger Trap is fascinating; Arduino-based micro-controller with several built-in sensors plus connectors for more, and a set of camera connection cables plus the ability to use the infra-red sensors on some cameras. <https://triggertrap.com/>.)
