Triggertrap automatic shutter release hits production, links your camera to most things

Want your camera to take a shot whenever the telephone rings or someone loads your blog page? Triggertrap can arrange that for you. This Arduino-powered box has managed to cross the funding finish-line and should be bringing its multi-source automatic release to camera creatives early next year. The previous Insert Coin project can communicate with cameras through either a wired connection or its own IR transmitter. It may initiate shutter release from a large number of sensors, with the built-in light, laser and sound sensors backed up by an auxiliary port, meaning it usually is attached to anything able to generating an electronic signal. With prototype testing complete, the Triggertrap looks set to ship in early February next year, with a distinct build-your-own version appearing soon after that. The ready-made options will set you back $125, while the customizable ‘shield’ version is pegged at $75. Interested? Well, hold on after the break for a whole video tour of the cherry red hardware.
