Hi, since two of you have commented on remote releases, I figured I'd answer personally. I designed this Bluetooth unit primarily with my own needs and wants in mind, but of course tried to incorporate every possible wish potential customers could have into the design. That, along with my perfectionistic side made the whole process pretty tough!! but I did manage. Since I like taking 360 degree Pano's as well, allowing remote release usage was one of the most vital ingredients in my design. Thats why my device has a 2.5mm stereo jack socket, where you can connect a (Canon Digital Rebel style) remote release. These Remote releases are probably the cheapest on the market, as they use a standard 2.5mm stereo jack, and not some proprietary connector such as the nikon 10-pin one. It's also perfect for making your own remote releases, or timers or funky triggers of some other sort. Also, due to its extremely small design and it sitting directly on the 10-pin port, you'll never need to make sure that it stays out of the image frame, when using ultra-wide angle fisheyes that probably most on this forum will be using . This is not quite so easy with all the alternatives with cables on them. Oliver www.foolography.com
