Earlier today, the Los Angeles police department saw an incredibly unusual police chases. But, as strange as the chase itself was, it was the ending that was the icing on the incredibly dangerous and all too unusual high speed pursuit.[Read More…]
How To Use Sound Sensors To Freeze Time And Motion
Not to long ago, we showed you how to do a similar, but more budget-friendly, method of using sound detection to fire your shutter using a TriggerTrap and a Canon 600 EX-RT, but now let’s take a look at a slightly more expensive awesome way of doing it. Enter the Broncolor Scorro and a TriggerSmart sound trigger. Those two pieces of equipment paired with several softboxes and a some reflective black plexiglass and you’ve got yourself quite an impressive studio setup to help you get the job done. (Of course, shooting with a Hasselblad doesn’t hurt either.)
How To Make A Laser Camera Trigger For Under $2
Shooting a bullet in mid air requires a special type of detector to ‘catch’ the bullet in mid air. Usually, a special sensor called a ‘gate sensor’ is used. The trick is a gate sensor is that it can calculate the speed of the bullet and ‘nail’ the shot at the right time. Those are not trivial to build.
This is why I was pleasantly surprised when I got this tutorial from Matt Kane who managed to build a bullet catching circuit for under $2.
Matt used a phototransistor along with a red laser to build cheapass bullet detector with the entire cost of the build being under $2:[Read More…]
