Review on ⚡️ MIOPS Smart Standalone Camera and Flash Trigger for Sony Cameras: Smartphone Controllable with S2 Cable by Zach Spangler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent laser trigger, cable trigger and time lapse. The flash works well at night but not so well during the day.

The MIOPS trigger works very well for some things. I put balloons, ice cream and fruit drops in the water. The laser trigger works incredibly well. Just got down to latency after a few tries and got some great shots. The audio was a little harder to dial in, especially with the water balloons. I ended up having to either turn the sensitivity all the way down or leave air in the tank to make a louder pop. With the sensitivity up, it worked too easily. I tried it during a small storm I had during the day. As far as I know, the original Lightning trigger is very expensive and only does one thing, and with good reason. MIOPS had many problems during the day. I used a flash to test this and unless I adjusted the sensitivity all the way the flash didn't fire. but with maximum sensitivity I got a lot of false positives. I also tested it at night, and while I didn't get good close-up flashes that were clean, it did a pretty good job when flashes erupted in the area. All in all, this is a good device for a variety of situations. B. slow motion or use as a tether. The audio works well in a controlled environment and the laser trigger is excellent. I recommend it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
