The Triggertrap app that turns your iPhone, iPad or Android device into a remote trigger for your camera is now free. Previously, it was $4.99; however, it will be free at least through the holiday season. (Note that there is a limited-feature “free version” available, but this is the premium version that has now been made free.)
You need a $25 cable to make it work with your DSLR, but it does a whole lot more than a standard cable release remote for that price. I’ve used it with my Canon 5D Mark II and it works very well. Additionally, if you don’t get the dongle, some of the modes (like timelapse) will work with the iPhone’s built-in camera. So, it’s worth having for free anyway.
The Triggertrap apps is available for iOS on the iTunes App Store, and available for Android on the Google Play Store.
Below are some of the triggering methods you can use with Triggertrap. [Read more…]
GoPro’s mobile app is now available for use with GoPro HERO3 cameras. The app lets you control your HERO3 cameras’ settings + features. Additionally, you can live preview your shots for easier framing.
A software update for the HERO3 White and Silver Edition cameras is required before using the GoPro app. You can find that update here on GoPro’s website.
The GoPro iOS app can be downloaded here on the iTunes App Store. The GoPro Android app can be downloaded here on the Google Play Store.

PostalPix, the app that lets you order prints from your phone’s camera roll, is now available for Android. I reviewed PostalPix for the iPhone last month and found it to be an excellent and affordable way to get quality prints from your phone.
The print and shipping prices are more than fair, and the print quality is great. Now all you Android users have no excuse to miss out on physical prints for all your great instagram shots.
You can find PostalPix here on the Google Play Store.
Triggertrap Mobile for iOS and Android devices will now allow wireless triggering functionality via WiFi network. [Read more…]

You can download the new app here at the Google Play Store.

I had my first chance to go hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Camera at PhotoPlus 2012. For those unfamiliar with the new camera, it is an Android-powered hybrid of a camera that is somewhere between a point and shoot camera and a smartphone. The Galaxy Camera runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and all of the camera functions are built-in the Android system. [Read more…]
