WHAT IS IT?

ShutterBug Pro is a convenient accessory for expanding a camera's shutter features. It

precisely operates the focus and shutter stages upon a timed event or remote control signal. It

can even auto-repeat the shutter for a rapid series of shots. It also can be used to prevent a

digital camera from turning itself off, which is a real lifesaver in some applications.

A hobby R/C servo (not included) is used to activate the camera's shutter button. Direct wire

interfacing is possible too. For wireless remote photography, ShutterBug Pro is compatible with

many popular model hobby R/C systems.

The photo on the left shows a small blue servo installed on a

digital camera. In this installation the R/C servo was mounted

using double sided foam tape (so it can be removed without

damaging the camera). The servo's rotating arm is carefully

positioned above the shutter button.

Please keep in mind that each camera will be different. So

some mechanical trickery is often needed to accommodate

the servo. Just use your creativity to devise a reliable

mounting arrangement.
